    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Bro, if a ship is cruising at 18Knots and a Tayfun is coming from 500km away, it will take Tayfun around 4 minutes to reach the target. During this time the ship will be 2.2 km away from original position. The ship would be moving at 9.2metres every second. At hypersonic speeds manoeuvering...

    Bro, fantastic news that they are working on an anti ship ballistic missile. But don’t get too enthusiastic yet. 1. The target was not moving. 2. Have they confirmed the terminal speed to be hypersonic? 3. Did the missile contain explosives? 1. it is a different cattle of fish to hit a moving...

    Air-Force [OpEd] How the Turkish Air Force Should Rebuild Its Airlift Fleet (2026-2040)

    This is the type of response you would get from people who have a chip on their shoulder. It is not becoming of you. Where in @TR_123456 ’s post there is any notion of putting anybody down, or even an insinuation that Turks are more evolved than any other nation? It is a common mistake most...

    Air-Force [OpEd] How the Turkish Air Force Should Rebuild Its Airlift Fleet (2026-2040)

    One needs to look at the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. Many of the early rulers of Delhi Sultanate and the subsequent Mughal Empire rulers were fundamentally Turkic.

    Bro that is a logical assessment. But if we play devil’s advocate, could it be because we still could not manage to perfect Pif-Paf manoeuvring in missiles and by buying or joining a co-production cycle will help us. (Both pac3MSE and Aster30-B1NT missiles use pif-paf system. With limited TOT it...

    Something most are missing is the fact that these bombs are only good if you have air superiority. Otherwise you could lose most of your air force against a country that has an intact modern AD system. Why doesn't Russian air force use their planes for bombing? Could Pakistani or Indian air...

    1700 units of MK84A based HGK (Turkish version of JDAM) has been delivered to Airforce. A lot of bombs! If the overall range and manoeuvrability of plane is not to be hindered the f16 is limited to carrying 2 of these and the standard a2a missiles. This means 850 sorties worth of bombs. That is...

    Very detailed article. If TurAF will go for any of the mentioned platforms however, is another matter. One platform; Embraer C390 which is a state of the art jet powered airlifter has not been mentioned. Quantity of airlift planes are never enough for an airforce. They are one of the most...

    According to this paper : In June 2026, the formal notification went to Congress for more than 80 GE F110 engines, approved for Türkiye. The announcement landed days before the NATO summit, framed publicly as a gesture of alliance solidarity. This makes more sense with respect to the...

    I don't know what that something else is but; Cirit is supposed to be fully compatible with Lau 131 launchers. In addition to the LAU-131, the Cirit can be fired from other standard pods such as the LAU-61, LAU-68, LAU-130, M260, and M261. While the missile fits smoothly into these mechanical...
