What I really want is a Bonus or BAT type munition to kill armor in numbers and very quickly, this combined with a stand off SAR on a bigger platform would be very effective. We can use long range rockets and guided shells as cargo carriers... Not a novel idea though, same as Assault Breaker...

I agree, the only technique is not SAL so we should work on other types of guidance. Some examples: - IIR/TV sensor munition with datalink similar to UMTAS + autonomous target detection - GPS/INS for bigger glide bombs - beamriding using the radar to guide the munition, or command guidance...

The STR radar itself is a high value target, a technological wonder that can detect very low RCS targets like shells and rockets. So as you said in the second message, I think 35 mm short range guns should be supported with RAM like missiles and other defensive measures.

I don’t think Koral or Redet can jam ground based radars or air defense systems from that far. It sounds plausible only for airborne radar threats. A modern radar system would suppress its own side lobes and would identify its own signature while using frequency hopping or similar methods. If...

It’s not a meme related fun message, but I had to include the videos to give some reference. Would anybody understand foster parent reference from the movie which is about AI killer robots or the evilness of the domestic spiderman without the youtube video? If yes I’d be happy. Maybe I was...

Not trying to say “I was right”, but an example of bad weather affecting the operations. Don’t know if it’s just for extra safety or the weather is really bad. CBs, the thunderstorm clouds are usually formed by sun energy input and usually effective in summer or they can be formed by weather...

It's nothing to be proud of and is probably a lie that is used to attack Turkish defence industry. Kargu is probably autonomous in a sense similar to a fire&forget missile so operator confirmation is required before releasing it. Not that AI identifies a terrorist threat and chases it...

-The Navy aviation arm does not have any jet fighter experience - it has to be accumulated. -Hürjet does not exist yet, it should exist first and experience has to be accumulated. Even if a pilot transitions to a regular and common type of aircraft it takes years to master it, so think about...

With the glide ratio of KGK it’s normal to have 50-60 km range from UAV. I was surprised that the first test range was 30 km, I expect more at high altitudes if UAV can carry it. If he talks about more than 150km from UAV, that would mean jet engine addition IMHO. KGK with laser seeker is ok...

He had a tone that not everything they research/develop becomes a product and it’s up to deciders and end users to decide. It’s logical and normal and a bit depressing too. Even in more advanced countries defense-industry wise like USA, the best weapon is not selected for development or...

Not necessarily, a separate magazine/sensor like RAM might save so many lives. Bigger missiles are a bigger problem but it would take 2-3 Atmaca/Harpoon class missiles to destroy a frigate, so not wise to put everything to the same VLS.

In his latest stream with Defence Turk he said they worked on KGK-ER but there is no solid project. And it seems to be competing with turbojet version Kuzgun and they are also happy with 110 km range of KGK released from F-16. I think a TJ-90 type turbojet can give KGK-ER a range of 250 km from...

My previous post on the similar topic, without these Tu-22s on Syria, now the stakes are higher:

Care to explain my mistake? Where did I say other threats are unimportant? Please quote directly from the forum. (I’m usually on the caution/high capability side for our Navy, a Navy that can bite super powers too, so it looks illogical for me to say something like that) I never claimed...

Yup :) Guess I’ll go back to ULAQ videos firing Cirit (no offense, it’s a good start) and wait for the analysis of famous Greek TV guy and have a comfortable day.

Nuclear warheads are another thing but if you think the missile can not be used against a frigate in Mediterranean or Black Sea I have nothing else to say to convince you it’s a big threat.

Well if things gets ugly someday I would not trust Russian gentlemanship for not launching those against us...

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40777/russian-tu-22m3-backfire-bombers-based-in-syria-are-going-to-patrol-the-mediterranean Does anybody still think - RAM is expensive/redundant? - Sungur should be used for close in missile defense because Göktuğ is heavy? - Phalanx/Gökdeniz is enough? -...

Lock on after launch could be an issue if the target is not detected and targeted on time when the missile is still in line of sight. Also using UMTAS/OMTAS from heavy cover, like behind a building, and trying to pick out targets after launch may not work. Some fiber guidance could helped a bit...
