EchoGuard is quite optimised for cases like this, almost the same size as my cousin's Galaxy Tab and consumes little power, Canik played it smarter in this regard

I wasn't too sure when writing about it but there is a possibiltiy that the sungur launcher might be partially movable in azimuth, so many degrees of freedom on this thing to be honest

Turns out PN MİLGEM fired SMASH this time, the first corvette to use an ASBM

I think we can all agree on Tayfun Block 4 is a ballistic missile in looks, the flight profile is most likely nothing like a ballistic missile. I am pretty sure we will learn when we see Tayfun Block 5 or CENK at this point

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...
