    Air Defence IFV C-RAM Are they variants of ATOM 35mm or the platform (or purpose) ATOM 35mm can be used from (for)? Naming a munition after the platform would be strange, especially naming it ATOM ZMA.

    Not saying you are wrong and different variants are very likely and logical but Aselsan ATOM pdf mentioning C-RAM and IFV suggests the naming is about shooter platform, not the 35 mm munition. Let’s say pdf is not clear and also Aselsan should stop using “ATOM” name for other munitions if the...

    Sorry for not reading carefully before, I arrived to the same conclusion and written about it in another forum. Tesla Roadster 2, 0-100kmh 2.1sec, assuming it's 1200 kg like Roadster 1 before. If it's heavier it's a bonus. Acceleration calculated as 13.2 m/s^2 and uses 29 meters to reach that...

    I understand you but I'm aware of those possibilities, that's why I talk about assumptions/estimations/guesswork. I'm not the designer of TB3, but I can talk about possibilities and make educated guesses, update them if new data comes out. If TB3 is revealed, whatever they do, it won't violate...

    Thanks for the work and references. I too arrived to that wingspan if wing geometry is just scaled but don't know if it's suitable for the LHD deck operation. Bayraktar said there would be folding wings, and it may suggest wing span is not small. A couple of times PD170 and PD180 is mentioned...

    Please read again all the warnings and descriptions in the message. Because of the assumptions, the calculations could be all incorrect. (I did not assume a wing with the same size by the way. Same stall speed assumption means wing has to have a bigger area because of the weight increase if...

    Warning: Some bullshit calculations in the following text, not only assumptions but heavy guesswork/random stuff It's a matter of balance between lift off speed and acceleration to reach this speed: - Higher mass means less acceleration for the same force and possibly higher stall speed if...

    I think it depends on how much ground run is needed for acceleration. I did not calculate anything othen than for TB2 200meters of run is possible with PD180 with 180hp. In TB2/Akıncı videos they usually run about 300 meters. But if PD180 can give more than 220hp+ for the takeoff run only, with...

    Thank you for the proof, I’m very happy to see it live so I can believe it. Do you have any info why the source (Azeri TV channel) was not mentioned nearly for a day? Maybe the news sites or osint accounts did not know it was TV either, or worse they hid this information until they have the...

    How do we know this is not an April 1st joke? Not that it’s not possible and real but there are news stories now based on this text and they don’t mention when and how the statement was made. I could not find any official statement from Selçuk Bayraktar. “ Who What When Where Why Some...

    Sorry, could not understand initially. I thought you linked 120mm HE-T as an example of MKEK capability so tried to answer it. "So if they do it alone, it could be similar to another well known product." Usually this happens for other calibres. For electronic parts they will need outside...

    It looks like a domestic version of a well known round type, and it’s not a guided round or a long range round with wings. There are sensors, actuators, etc in those designs. Has MKEK done a similar project before? For other rounds it seems they worked with http://www.eda-ltd.com.tr/index.php/tr/

    just some guesses: I’m surprised MKEK is trying new things now, they usually work on tried stuff and mechanical parts. I don’t think they can design the shell without aerodynamics knowledge though. So if they do it alone, it could be similar to another well known product. SAGE should work more...

    There is a stagnation of range for 155mm and lower calibre guns in Turkish Army. The world is moving ahead. I think using rockets made it less important but I hope we can reach equivalent distances with new long range munitions.

    Exactly... Subcalibre rounds, which is not a new technology, can reach very high speeds (hypervelocity) and altitudes and can be launched from normal barrels. Maybe they can rival early electromagnetic guns too. Combined with gliding aerodynamics and sensors they can be effective like missiles...

    Really??? my wishlist: - 127/155mm long range gliding guided munition with 100km+ range - smart subcalibre munition that can reach 100000ft+ altitude (Modern flak cannon, like US shooting at some targets with a howitzer with hypervelocity rounds) - CIWS rounds fired from 76mm (if found effective)

    This was suggested in Savtera forum too, it looks logical and very cool to simulate motion and the helicopter but it’s not necessary or maybe even dangerous and fatiguing for remote operation. A nice chair with ergonomic console and high resolution surround displays should be enough. There was...
