Advanced 358 missiles powered by solid fuelled rocket engine with a speed of over 700km/hr, can fly at altitudes of 8500m to 10000m and with a 100km range and go after aerial targets. It is launched from ground. The Kemankes-2 on the other hand has a communication range of 70km. Potentially it...

Great tests and definitely essential before the next stage. But proof of the pudding is in the eating, when it comes to take off and landing of the TB3 with full fuel and payload. That is what will decide to put this bird apart from the other UAVs that have managed to take off and land on a...

I agree with @Nilgiri . There has not been any violation as yet. But it is important to keep the tone civil.

Happy National Sovereignty and Children’s day to all , Ne mutlu Türküm diyene.

In order to inflict enough damage to a ship a missile needs to be : 1. able to carry adequate explosives and/or 2. have plenty of kinetic energy during impact. The ASM-3 missile is approximately 1000kg in weight. So it should have enough explosive on board to sink a ship. At nearly 3 mach speed...

Akbaba missile is a classified development, until someone decides to use it for political means. But it has all the wholemarks that it is still progressing. According to technical information coming out of Roketsan, it is powered by a solid fuelled ramjet engine. Although no specifics have been...

Bro, what you are saying is just semantics. Gökhan was a development under wraps until when defence minister Akar in June 2021 uttered the word Gökhan. Both Science Minister Varank and Gürcan Okumuş had since then stated in 2021 that there were many tests carried out on the ramjet engine, and we...

Turkish Defence Agency is supposed to be the official mouthpiece of SSB (Defence Industry Presidency) . It is embarrassing that they are using the picture of a Japanese Ramjet powered missile to give the news of the development of our own ramjet powered anti ship missile. The mysterious Gökhan...

Unless there is an operational F47 that can replace F22, the Raptor is the top fighter jet in my book. It has high LO characteristics and is a true monster that still many 5th gen manufacturers take as a point of reference. If US would take the leap and start upgrading its avionics, radar and...

Previous newspiece about this, was all about the use of a Delta-V sounding rocket, to place the Tolun munition at such a distance and altitude that, it would negate the need to use an aircraft, hence not putting both the aircraft and the pilot in danger. The smaller of the Delta-V rockets was...

Bro , just read the first paragrapgh as the caption. If I didn’t know what was actually done, I would think the whole Project was completed. It says frigates, in plural, and states that project was completed. quote ASELSAN published a press release to announce that it has successfully completed...

https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-completes-meko-class-frigate-modernisation Very misleading caption. Anyone would think that the whole project is completed. Only the Orucreis ship’s modernisation is completed. There are 3 more ships in the program that need to be upgraded. Exactly 7 years...

This issue was discussed previously. pls see post https://defencehub.live/threads/missile-smart-munition-programs.334/page-176#post-208026 Official price given was over 1 million dollars each for SOM In 2018 a contract was signed for 415 SOM to be produced for Turkish Armed Forces...

Great news for Aksungur. But I wish they actually stated the range and altitude from which it fired the LGK munitions. We are seeing more and more drones being shot down by separatists. Either these rebels have access to sophisticated AD systems or the drones are flying too low and/or too close...

https://turdef.com/article/rare-earths-to-become-new-pillar-in-u-s-turkiye-relations A deal to supply rare earth elements to US should accompany many conditions that favour Türkiye. I hope that the government don’t down-sale the importance of these strategic materials. This could become a very...

Bro, no matter how much R&D you perform, an non-stealthy drone like TB2 and Akinci will always be prone to getting shot if they operate too low or in skies where AD systems are not suppressed or eliminated. All the Hype about TB2 in the early days were thanks to : 1. Anka’s EW experience being...

If you sell it to any Tom Dick and Harry to make a quick buck without accompanying EW set up. If you sell it to countries that don't know how to use it properly and if they are used in airspace where modern AD are present, what do you expect? These are lethargic, cumbersome, slow and...

As per @Sanchez ’s post everyone may use a different unit to calculate %ge of locality. 1. percentage of value. 2, percentage of weight and/or volume 3. percentage of importance But as per @TR_123456 ’s post, if you don’t have an engine the rest is superfluous. Had we been a country like...

Irrespective of their sizes, if they are in orbit around the earth, they are satellites and are visible especially if they are emitting RF. In general, EW with microwaves in 4GHz to 8GHz and 8GHz to 12GHz are the way to jam and attack other electronic machinery. The stronger and closer the...

Bro, at what altitude are you thinking of placing those satellites? If you place them at less than 36000km they will not be in synchronous orbit. This means the satellites will not always have full coverage. You would need thousands of satellites like starlink. At 36000km altitude you can not...
