Some more official figures: NASAMS range for ground launched AMRAAM is 33km range, 15 km (50000ft) altitude AMRAAM-ER is supposed to have ESSM body, and it will increase this envelope by %50 in range and %70 in altitude. It makes 50 km range and 25 km - 85000ft altitude. Sources: For...

I'm waiting for G40 eagerly, unlike other missiles they don't talk much about this one. If it's performance is like Hisar and scaled up it might reach 40000 ft and 50 km at max range (if ~40000ft-40km is the aim). But for TF2000 we need more, like G40 with a booster or SM-1/2 clone with Göktüğ...

My wild guesses (explanation: bullshit stuff I made with Microsoft Paint to guess graphically without any kind of calculation or aerodynamics, just for thought exercise) Hisar A ~10 km 15000ft (~4500m)- able to reach 20000ft (~6000m) for targets overhead (the missile will be slow, target...

No problem, trying to decipher it myself too :) actually they should not broadcast those kind of sensitive information but they never learn. Maybe if we decipher enough they will stop this behavior.

Right upper coordinate belongs to launcher (FFS-O id 344). Lower left coordinate on the screen is mouse pointer coordinate (which is near Nevşehir).. The visible target flying on the screen is an airliner, should not fly there according to NOTAM closing the airway so it must be from a...

It’s the mouse pointer’s coordinates :) Radar is near the launcher, both seen in video frame together on different positions, Don’t know about the position of the command vehicle.

Got the same figures, outmost circle is 100 km.

The visible target in this view looks like an airliner to me, possibly the real target is hidden from view to obscure the details for national security reasons.

Resembles this one:

Didn't one of the Anka prototypes fly with a ballistic recovery parachute because previous prototype was lost? Is there a reason why we can't launch with a catapult and recover over sea? Salvage the good parts of the UAV if broken and renew with stock airframes kept on ship?

Gyrocopters, VTOL aircraft, ballistic parachutes, seaplanes, floatplanes, helicopter based UAVs, all should be considered. Maybe we should not obsess with deck based UAVs only.

Have to check the Aselsan magazine again, but can’t remember visible or IR light sensors aimed at high quality, i.e. To compete against bigger players like Sony etc... edit: maybe “high end” is a better term, might not be feasable for Turkey, for now.

If it’s like DSLR technology, sensor size and lens quality is probably as important, especially for low light conditions. For security applications, lower megapixel cameras can outperform especially higher megapixel counterparts in low light. With new AI methods, image stabilization both in...

I think I followed it by flightradar24, and Orman Bakanlığı announced it as TB2 if I recall correctly... I’ll search more on it.

Has it been shared before? Bayraktar UAV observing Heybeliada forest fire from 150 kms away (upper right SLT value, initially 90 something, can be confirmed by position too): Fire fighting aircraft (the fast one) seen is a Be-200. And this is confirmed by coordinates: line of sight with...

With suitable sensors UAVs will detect major navy platforms from 150-200 kms with ease from mid altitudes. I think current FLIR cameras can already do it in nice weather, for other weather types longer range SAR+GMTI radar is possible, can even be programmed to detect and identify the geometry...

I could not write clearly in the previous messages, so let me rephrase. The clean aircraft configuration will allow Aksungur and Akıncı to fly with less hp at minimum drag speed to reach maximum endurance. In Akıncı videos the fuel consumption meter mostly sits at 1/3rd of the fuel consumption...
