MAM-T versus more sophisticated versions of Miniature Bomb (SDB) and Kuzgun... MAM-T could be the second best weapon (which is sometimes more effective if enemy concentrates on preventing the first best)... the front and aft section looks like they are from MAM-L, sensor probably same with...

I think the same, and probably this MAM-T was created to do what MAM-L can’t. Thicker armoured targets, more stand-off range, buildings and fortifications... The target set is compatible with thermobaric warheads but even if classic HEAT warhead is used, with 230 mm diameter, it will rip...

What is described here could be a HF surface wave over-the-horizon radar so much more range, up to 400 km is possible. It probably won’t distinguish a ship next to a cliff like this but the network can keep track of the ship before it arrives to this position & keep it in memory,

I thought about adding EW to the list of countermeasures but decided not to do. Russia can make those EW resistant, but yes it can be another method, if it works.. Look at the trends and try to predict the future warfare, the race between different types of drones will escalate and you will...

What TB2 can do against those drones? - use laser to blind/fry the sensor - deploy own mini anti-anti-drone - fly higher - mini missiles - fighter uav escort - go fast - more stealth - swarm with cheap/decoy versions of TB2 - if they become a problem fall back/backup the ops with long range...

AIM-9x is 127mm. Bozdoğan is 160mm...but it is still heavy compared to other 160mm AA missiles..

I never said Turkish Navy wanted RAM, maybe you are replying to the wrong person. Btw, I often don't agree or like the weapon choices of our armed forces. I'm just an amateur, but what they do is not law either.

If they are flying near FL200 it’s even more, like 3.9 Mach if 1250 km/h is assumed. But this time F-16 must cruise at 1.3 Mach based on relative motion (roughly 3 times) on the screen. They don’t seem to use afterburners, of course they could be slowing down...

I tried to calculate too, my estimates are: 20-25 km for missile lock 10-15 km for launch Slightly shorter flight distance due to target incoming. I used a 5 km uncertainty because I was lazy to use the real speed of sound, also did not use MS paint with precision. Based on F-16 speed guess*...

The maximum attained speed of a rocket of course changes with launcher platform's speed. Let's say the rocket engine burns for 5 seconds, launched from a moving platfom at the end of the rocket burn, the speed and range will be higher. edit: for the same trajectory

The goal should be to bring peace and security to the area, of course, and to become self reliant and to create a more capable navy which can deter a bit more serious threats....not starting an arms race, or spending taxes only on military hardware...

Some random rants: ESSM-> Semi active missile, mostly comes out from common missile magazine, ship radar has to illuminate the target. RAM-> Missile has sensors, separate magazine, separate sensors In missile exchange - if your VLS magazine is hit - if your radar malfunctions - if EW is...

Sounds a lot like KUŞRAD.... Birds have low RCS, so maybe someone decided to scale it up... https://bilgem.tubitak.gov.tr/tr/icerik/kusrad-kus-tespit-radari For low RCS detection, Aselsan also had artillery detection radar, for that low RCS capability is must as shells have low RCS... and...

Just for info... Looking at the released footage, it looks like it’s flying ~3 times the speed of the F-16, if F-16 is 0.8-1M, so probably 2.5-3 Mach. I don’t know the source for 4 Mach. Maybe if F-16 was higher & faster Mach 4 is possible. They should not have released the telemetry footage.

Ram Block 2 is 160 mm and fits to the same launcher. I think the main question is would a Stinger type missile, being 70 mm, be affective against a heavy and very fast anti-ship missile, even after hitting it. What is bad or wrong with designing new missile for this purpose, as point...

Sungur is designed to be man portable. It may not perform well against a Brahmos type missile. ESSM has semi-active guidance, without ship radar it can not hit anything. The radar and battle management system of the ship can be overloaded with saturation attacks, and it may malfunction after a...

The author is one of the best but as he stated it’s a guess, not official information.

“Continuous titanium rod warhead” Any source for this information?
