That would make it into an IFV, is it an APC or an IFV?I'd like to see a turret with 30 or 35 mm cannon in the middle and 4 omtas on the sides

If we can make this missile go 10-12 km with 8km max altitude, then we have a winner in our hands. Then we do not need RAM systems from US. It will be as good as the RAM block 2.
Test completed, succesful hit on moving target
RAM was built on sidewinder with stinger's IR seeker,later + with RF spectrometers.If we can make this missile go 10-12 km with 8km max altitude, then we have a winner in our hands. Then we do not need RAM systems from US. It will be as good as the RAM block 2.
Honestly I don’t think why we shouldn’t. Because even the RAM missile is a derivative of a stinger missile. We produce stinger in house. We produce CIRIT missile in house.
Logically thinking performance wise, this missile is probably like a RIM116RAM block 2 already ; but not rotating with cold launch, and probably 10km minimum range and 8 km altitude.
The latest video at 00:30 shows that the missile is spinning after launch and during main rocket engine start. Not sure if it's for wing deployment for the initial portion flight or for stabilization/guidance purposes for the whole flight, too fast to see in the previous videos for the terminal phase and they don't show the missile during cruise flight.Logically thinking performance wise, this missile is probably like a RIM116RAM block 2 already ; but not rotating with cold launch, and probably 10km minimum range and 8 km altitude.
B comes first so Bozdoğan is the shorter range one and G comes later on in alphabetic order so Gökdoğan is longer range one.Bozdoğan (or Gökdoğan, whichever has the shorter range i am confused about the names)
Yes you are correct! It was built over sidewinder with stinger seeker components. As it rotates like stinger I got it mixed up.RAM was built on sidewinder with stinger's IR seeker,later + with RF spectrometers.
RAM has effective range of 10 km with multiple maneuvers specifically designed to counter anti-ship missiles it was later upgraded to engage aerial targets with a software update but i don't think its range was published for that (definitely longer than CIWS variant).
So it can be an interim CIWS solution but not be good as RAM, without a passive RF sensor and inferior maneuverability. Bozdoğan (or Gökdoğan, whichever has the shorter range i am confused about the names) with its higher maneuverability is a better candidate with Sungur's IIR + a new RF.
Sungur itself will make most of the low profile naval assets deadlier. Add a larger booster specifically for naval platforms to increase range further to 16-17 km and that means something.
If you look carefully it is not spinning during flight. It is cold launched from it‘s canister and as it leaves the canister, it does a rotation until it’s fins open up. That opening of fins motion looks like spinning as the missile stabilises it self. But it is not spinning during flight.The latest video at 00:30 shows that the missile is spinning after launch and during main rocket engine start.

Probably it’s not spinning during the flight but I could not found any video footage of the missile detailed enough to confirm. Latest video shows it still spinning after rocket engine start, at this frame near the end of this sequence. Even at low missile speed, slow motion camera and close distance it’s already hard to see the spin. Sun reflections help a bit... could be just rotational inertia.If you look carefully it is not spinning during flight.

I read that article, that's why it's interesting to me. Could be wrong or right. Logic says the missile does not need to spin like Stinger due to IIR. Geometry also does not look like spinning is the best option with those surfaces.It's not a rolling airframe dude, this has been confirmed by @Defence Turkey

Article says they did not see it spinning, yet I don't know what footage they talk about. Either they have different footage from the previous launches showing missile flight in detail which public did not see, have eagle eyes or have some insider information... could be all of them.
Hey thanks. But there is still a problem for me.Perhaps they have bettter footage or they are analysing the footage more in depth - Remember the front fins also deploy
I hope this clears up the Rolling Airframe question
