Yes. But if you watch the actual launching of the missile video, the canisters are different. This is supposedly the second and latest launch. This is the first launch. The canisters are longer but different in both. SSB and Roketsan are trying to confuse us. Mixing Bora and Tayfun launch videos.

The top one could be Bora canister. Not Tayfun. If you check below picture shared by Kaan Azman on twitter, they are different size canisters. Taking the hydrolic lift mechanism as same he has extrapolated measurements too; as shared by @Al Lablabi here.

These are all ballistic (moving under the force of gravity only) missiles during their downward and terminal stages of flight. What we think we have observed here, is a greatly suppressed trajectory during the initial launch stage. It looks like a very potent missile with a lot of energy and...

I assume you mean upgrade kits for F16 planes. (Please clarify if not) If all parts used in modernisation kits are indigenously manufactured, then may be. Albeit an export version. (You do not want other countries having access to your top technology) All equipment manufactured in house may have...

Most of us would like to see that. But…. I am no naval engineer. But there is a fine balance that needs to be adhered to, when designing a warship that can sail and float with stability. Weight, draft, length and beam of a hull have to be considered as dependent on each other within reason when...

If looked in detail this plane can take off from a strip that is 122m long when it is empty. But it needs a runway of 152m to land. If it has payload when landing it will need a much longer landing strip. If it has full payload it needs a runway of 304m for take off, and if it has fuel for long...

Unless we are going to produce a cruise missile with a range in excess of 1200km, using a turbojet engine to propel the cruise missile is sufficient. Turbofan engines are more expensive to manufacture, and a turbojet that is optimised for lower altitude, long distance flight (up to around...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/f-16-ozgurden-atmaca-ve-gezgin-fuzesi-atilabilecek/ Good news about using more of our indigenously produced weapons on our air platforms. But it is becoming very tiresome to read a lot of will, shall, going tos. The last two paragraphs of the above article is most...

Check out my post on https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-air-force-news-discussion.2740/page-89#post-245400 page 89 post#1761 Additionally stealth parameters will be much improved. Due to extensive and effective use of directed energy weapons, very large power generation will be a prerequisite.

I agree to a point. But never underestimate West’s hold on their technological prowess. They will never like to relinquish what they have, that easily. They will do their best to hamper our engine development pursuits. We need a family of engines developed from TF6000/10000 that will power...

If you read my post properly you would see that it is the maximum velocity this missile achieves. Due to it’s lower weight and being ballistic it would have a terminal velocity of just over 1Mach. Just check page 20 post#394 Israeli rampage missiles have suppressed trajectories and perform...

SOM series, KGK and HGK bombs are stealthy. Atmaca and CAKIR rely on low flight characteristics and manoeuvrability. Please feel free to add more. Those are what I could think of. Level of stealth of our SOM series is supposed to be very good. If memory serves it was designed with more...

There is also some very important points that needs to be remembered: Çakır uses an air breathing engine for propulsion and is subsonic (0.75-0.85 Mach). It has been designed to sink a surface ship. At least take it out of commission. (it has a warhead weight of 70kg) It is expensive albeit not...

Let’s not go back to page 152 , post#3022 where there are written documents that this radar was to be installed on planes by 2016 and onwards. This project was in the pipeline around 2011s. If you move the goalpost to the latest declaration of delivery/integration date, then your 6 months delay...

All of the above are valid points that could well have happened. But at the end of the day for us mere mortals waiting to see our own radar performing on those planes and not seeing it happen is most frustrating. Especially after being given dates, year after year. We seem to have too many...

@Strong AI We are awaiting an Aesa radar integrated on our Özgür F16 planes. Not a test model for Akinci. I remember in 2014, Aselsan and then SSB bragging about having Aesa radars fitting process starting on all our f16s by 2016. Since that day we’ve heard every year “end of this year” or...

It may have all the bells and whistles to do with avionics, flight and targeting computers etc etc. But without the Murad Aesa radar that plane is a lion with no teeth. Aselsan has lagged badly behind schedule with the Özgür’s Aesa project. That radar should have been on that plane a few years...

Well it all depends on how quickly US can integrate some of the improvements being tested by the engine manufacturers, on to the plane. There is going to be a new Aesa radar with GaN based TR modules. This will be accompanied by new avionics. A new engine is in the pipeline. Although P&W is...

I am afraid they did not. https://news.yahoo.com/greece-not-transfer-300-systems-161400322.html
