Of course you don't blindly send salvos of missiles and expect them to find their targets. Even at maximum speed the enemy fleet would be inside a 60NM radius region from their original positions, some of them would be wounded or would be staying near their original position to help their...

It’s ultra-important for Gezgin to have this capability, maybe even more important than its original role. one example: Turkish task force is on duty near Libya. We have 4 frigates. Enemy masses 12 frigates, some of them are AAW ones. without Gezgin: Enemy launches a surprise attack, they lose...

X-47B is very large and subsonic. Previous mentions of Göksungur included a small high speed target drone. Logically it should be like Şimşek target drone that can be done in a short development time (1-2 years). Something like X-47B is not realistic, should take years to develop. Something in...

The wing shape is very strange, lower wing looks longer or maybe there is a problem with the drawing... I hope we get a longer winged version. TEI did an incredible thing and it's also strange that we see the engine before the actual missile. Roketsan should come up with numerous airframe...

Probably there is a launching envelope for the missile and high altitude launch may be restricted by engine starting conditions. It’s hard to start in cold and less dense air. The maximum thrust available from the engine will be lower at higher altitudes, but fuel consumption will be...

Air launched version, if there is enough fuel, may have a range longer than its name suggests. And because it’s not big like Atmaca, we can deploy it to many various vessels and coordinate launches with the battle network. Then it can be as important as Atmaca, or maybe more important.. Also...

But I learnt from "savunma sanayi uzmanları" that software was more important, what is happening??

Asked about unmanned sea vehicles Ismail Demir: We are also working on semi-submersible systems.

Your argument is a strawman argument: Israeli photos. I did not say anything in the photo is embargoed but there is a risk for information leak in every photo. On Akıncı documentary all personnel could be seen in 4k, their signatures are visible on the white board, the computer displays are...

Ok I stand corrected. There are some old grainy photos from 2008. Maybe we can find high quality ones too, there are a dozen on https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/iai-heron?phrase=iai heron&sort=mostpopular Maybe the photos are investigated and declassified for public use? Can you say the same...

It is... let’s say Akıncı is downed, at a basic level the opposition can compare the wreckage with those reference photos. They can identify something critical in any photo. So why do people take those risks: For twitter likes. Why I can’t find any similar photos for Israeli Heron? Why I can’t...

Small size is nice, I’m just a bit afraid about the remote possibility of Navy selecting a 20 mm Phalanx look-alike instead of 35 mm Gökdeniz for bigger ships. Yup...

3 barrel 12.7mm MKEK gatling is on the back. I think MKEK wants to use 20mm for the CIWS, but I wish a bigger version like GAU-8 is developed too:

Power setting and fuel flow visible from the footage. At 10000 ft it uses around 100 kg/hour of fuel with gear down in slight turn, the endurance will be around 16 hours at this level with the same settings if the fuel tanks were full. At higher altitudes the throttle (engine load) will have to...

Some of them as a subcontractor, but the stuff I trust more in terms of innovation are coming out from their labs. (in other terms my perception as an civilian outsider, Göktuğ and G40 looks like SAGE exclusive in R&D phase)

SM sized missiles consume full cell of VLS containers, are heavy and probably more expensive. For ships with not enough VLS cells (like 16 cell I class) the number is not enough if SM&G40 combination is used. I don’t want to shoot unmanned drones or loitering munition with expensive missiles...

G40-ER dimensions compared with tactical length Mk 41 VLS if the rocket motor inside the missile or a similar length motor is used as a booster. I don't expect this kind of experiment with close fitting until booster tech and two stage is mature enough for us though. There are small errors and...

Is booster diameter the problem for quad packing? It can be the same diameter, using the same mk 134 motor. Since it’s a domestic missile we can tailor it like Americans did with Aegis version of SM2ER if I recall correctly, their problem was length and they made a shorter booster.

I hope we do G-40-ER - quad-pack - cheaper than SM - ready before Siper - known missile type - Its booster can fit to tactical length VLS so I class and similar can have area defence capability. I’m also a fan of SM though...
