How can that be passive? That statement doesn’t sound right to me. If it is relaying signal, then it is active. Radar is a device that operates in electromagnetic domain. If you are sending signals then you are active. Aesa radars do that cleverly by sending signals in rotating frequency...

Answer to that is in post #4183 in previous page in italic letters.

This range is at the limit of Intermediate Range and Medium range ballistic missiles. These class of ballistic missiles fly well in to space, then return back to earth after re-entry. For one thing, S400 may not even track it. They are too fast to track and target. S400 system is optimised to...

Fatah-2 of Iran is claimed to be a “type of” hypersonic glide vehicle. It is supposed to have a 1400 to 2000 km range. The main body of the missile is a ballistic missile that carries the HGV to almost edge of atmosphere where it is released and the front section starts its decent, supported...

Can you please share the source of this statement please? This is huge if true.

Sorry! But can you explain what you mean with these statements. It doesn’t make sense. As far as Hypersonic missile technology go, what I understand goes like this : 1. A ballistic missile may fly briefly in hypersonic speeds 2. A ballistic missile may fly most of it’s flight with hypersonic...

S400 can only hit ballistic missiles with a range of max 2000km that are flying in a set ballistic trajectory. Atacms are manoeuvring missiles. S400 most likely couldn’t target it. Many s400 systems were hit as a result. But then heavy EW and loss of GPS detracted from Atacms’ precision.

I don’t know where you got those detection ranges. But it doesn’t sound logical for the stealth planes. Even RCS values are subjective to a degree. I remember reading that export level S400s could lock onto F35, 35-50km away depending on position etc. Russian claim that their S400 apparently...

This is an interesting peace of munition. Penetrating bombs use physics to go deep. As they are heavy and aerodynamic, they gain incredible speeds during their downward flight. A bomb like this can reach speeds of 500m/second (1.2-1.3 Mach) when it hits the ground as dictated by terminal...

My radar knowledge is not great. It is limited to university physics level. S band and X band is what F35 is optimised against. S band is the wavelength that microwaves sit. Aesa radars operate at that band. So it is understandable for F35 to have defence against them. However, as @TheInsider...

Bro, I was replying to @Ripley ’s post there. Also I was insinuating corrupt practices. Please re-read my post #5665 in previous page.

I know. It is in reality a form of liquid fuel. But to overcome the difficulties of the liquid fuel, they use gel form. Onyx/Brahmos use the same type of gel form liquid fuel.

Liquid fuelled ramjet would be most useless as an a2a missile. Liquid fuel is hard to keep. You need to prepare it just before using it. You can’t keep it in the missile and store it. Most importantly there are certain particles that are added to the fuel to improve burn characteristics. With...

P1 was supposed to fly this year according to the statement he gave July last year when he took over from Kotil. https://www.defenceturk.net/kaanin-diger-prototipleri-daha-fazla-ucacak Now it is second quarter of next year. One thing he is good at; each time he opens his mouth to give a date...

Same US, however, will impose sanctions if you contradict this regime agreement and even sell technology or parts contrary to MTCR. It is a tough world with too much hypocrisy. India, a non NATO member buys one s400 after another and is not sanctioned. In fact offered f35s. We, an ally NATO...

If a missile has a range more than 300km and can carry explosives more than 500kg, you are not supposed to sell it under MTCR (missile technology control regime) rules.

You can’t stick that butt out too much. With afterburners on, it gets too hot there. Also this plane uses a parachute to stop. I have a feeling they may put it there. Having said that; Kaan was designed to have AESA radars in both the front and the rear of the aircraft. It was expected to have...

That guy is the black sheep of Iskenderun. One of the biggest BS talkers around with little or no technical background. Please try to avoid sharing his posts here.

https://turdef.com/article/idef25-tayfun-block-4-packs-a-bigger-punch-with-more-reach Well, we were wondering about Tayfun Blocks 2 and 3. Apparently an 8m long version of Tayfun as Block 3 has already been tested to hit a sea target. This is the block that is being developed for the sea...

Now I am going to play the devil’s advocate. 1. This means that the Gokbora has not flown yet. Even if it has, it hasn’t flown to hit a target. 2. There is still quite a bit of work to be done. If Aselsan takes its time to develop a seeker head, then the missile’s readiness will be delayed...
