Nobody said anything about a ship getting stronger after being hit. That said, war planners use computer models to predict outcome of naval conflicts. The equations include number of missiles, effectivity, defences, anti-defences, missile magazine capacity, detection and evasion from detection...

Very nice job by Roketsan. Now that a small jet engine is not wasted in a single scenario and a big family of munitions can be developed. 150 km range is near the edge of UAV optical sensor to detect and identify a corvette sized vessel in good weather so it can be used by UAVs effectively in...

I already told I do not mean lucky shots... optimistic model: 100 kg bomb hits over waterline. Ship disabled, battle stops, war ends with victory. real life: 100 kg bomb hits over waterline. Enemy surprised by attack but able to recover. Enemy ship continues to fire Harpoon salvos and relay...

No no, I don’t mean or want lucky shots. We (navy) must think of statistics before engagement so the more numerous smart and longer range missiles the better. something like an Atmaca/Harpoon per 50 meters length or 1000 tons.

I think a frigate sized target needs at least 2-3 Atmaca to sink. To penetrate air defense maybe 10 Atmacas are needed. We can combine OMGSF or derivative with Atmaca and strike with maybe 30 missiles to overwhelm the target. I think about Aegis-like ability targets with CIWS sailing with their...

TEI manager Akşit once told there was a diameter requirement and they had to develop TJ300 at this diameter. So I understood that Navy only wants a medium range antiship missile but with this crazy requirement they created something more than they wanted and they are not aware of the potential…...

What does the navy think about OMGFS? I think it’s more groundbreaking and dangerous than Atmaca. Given enough fuel it may reach Atmaca ranges and can be hosted by smaller platforms, may be launched en masse from VLS & airborne & land& small vessels … the engine can power other types of missiles...

Slightly changed booster model with bigger wings for Atmaca on one of the pics. I don’t know if just a model or whether it was displayed before. (Edit: or just camera perspective?) Edit:

Ah I understand now what those side lines are for. In the CG version they looked like unnecessary parts.

I wanted to check distances but I could not find enough time but according to flightradar track TB2 flew around 6000 ft and minimum range for the Çanakkale Şehit Abidesi is 20-25km. I feel like we need one more generation to catch MX-15 and 2 generations for MX-25. There is a constant blur I...

Nice! Image search from flight sim screen also provided this paper: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.159.4508&rep=rep1&type=pdf This paper has some info on the type and tells why is selected for that particular research so might have influenced the same way…Looks like...

Baykar Mini UAV first version was also a twin boom inverted V tail design. As far as I remember there were other inverted V tail UAV/RC aircraft examples back then in USA universities but I can’t find them since more than ~15 years have passed. Probably they were influenced either by one of them...

I thought the same too but could not decide: - the camera movement and camera angles are a bit strange like the previous TB2 CATS video. (Servo response to user inputs, stabilization quality and target selection may affect this behavior) - there is a periodic judder similar to TB2 CATS footage...
