If it has a second pulse for terminal hypersonic velocity, think about the possibilities when you integrate terminal guidance. Probably one shot and one kill for ships.

Hypersonic speed still feels vague for me Is it hypersonic at midcourse when it adjusts its trajectory to be quasi-ballistic? This is not uncommon and doesn't always mean the missile is hypersonic at terminal stage Is it hypersonic at not only midcourse but also terminal stage? You need either...

I am pretty sure Tayfun Block 4 can go 1000+ km but 1000+what is still a mystery Zolfhagar with the same length but smaller diameter can hit 700 km, a slightly longer variant (Dezful) can hit 1000 km However, diameter matters more than length for range as a rule of thumb, as shown by ER GMLRS...

We actually have the ALP 400-G development for that end, but the spaital resolution isn't impressive on its own due to the operating band. Thus, it works better when paired with higher frequency radars like ALP 300-G/ALP 100-G or optical sensors

Yeah, my ADHD kicked in, fixed

Speaking of BARBAROS, I think this is important, especially down in the south (Damn, talk about the good timing for TÜBİTAK's recap) https://turdef.com/article/tuebitak-completes-oth-radar-project-for-the-turkish-navy

Everyone been focusing on TÜBİTAK SAGE activities in the 2025 report, but BİLGEM been up to some nice stuff too in radar stuff

Agreed, while I am totally fine with them producing TM100, gas turbines is a far bigger deal that takes time, people, and resources, especially those to power unmanned fighters. Even though they are opening a department the other challenges stand. At most, I would support some small turbojet...

I feel like TOYCA-05 should be put on K2, as a literal multiplier. Think of you launch 5 K2s from TCG Anadolu in a saturation attack, each loaded with two or more TOYCA-05s

I think a simpler EO/IR will significantly reduce per unit cost since Bayraktar TB2 is generally used with high-end stuff when it comes to that. What I'm hoping for is a modular warhead loading so that it can potentially carry smaller kamikaze UAVs either to saturate defenses or strike some...

Even if the french are friendly I wouldn't trust my dog with them, let alone engines. On the RUAV part yeah, we at least should have a turboshaft powered thing at this point. But I'd rather have a STOL cargo UAV.

this can go two ways considering the current projects and how would you test a turret as in the news, but I would give probability more than the usual for the interim solution part since we know the interest in truck/trailer mounted 35 mm weapons. Of course, KORKUT 100/35 SB is the peak of this...
