Your humble opinion is correct to a degree. Yet may need some additions. The reason it is called a warhead is because the job it is supposed to do and the damage it is supposed to cause is done by the entirety of the warhead itself. The casing, what it contains as explosive, where it is to be...

It is within it’s mission envelopes and mission parameters. it‘s body and geometry is stealthy. But it has RCS augmenter fitted to make it more visible if needed whilst simulating as a fighter jet to sacrifice itself in place of the jet fighter it is accompanying. But it can also fly 700km deep...

Super-Simsek is a weapon/drone. Valkyrie XQ-58 is a UCAV akin to our KE or Anka-3 and although it is comparatively cheaper than the main fighter aircraft it is accompanying and can be sacrificed in stead, it is not as expendably cheap as a Super-Simsek. Remember that XQ-58 can land back to its...

Siper is the booster added version of Hisar O+ missile. There are actuators on those fins. So they have aerodynamic thrust control. That is the PAF portion. What Siper seems to be lacking according to given statements is the PIF portion. That is the inertial powered thrust vectoring portion...

PIF/PAF (Pilotage enforce/Pilotage aerodynamique fort, inertial steering by force/aerodynamic steering by force) This is a great tool to steer an AD missile against highly manoeuvrable missiles and targets. But as per @Afif has said it is not a must. Aster missiles have this and they destroy...

Not quite just that. Siper will hit any flying object within its range and altitude envelope. These will include supersonic and subsonic jets and missiles. Provided our radars can identify and target a ballistic missile it will hit it. Both Hisar and Siper use dual pulse rocket engines that have...

%ge use of Oil?? Something not quite correct there?? That must be figures for electricity production only! Turkey consumed 246 million barrels of imported crude oil in 2022, in addition to 29 million barrels of locally produced crude oil, according to official data. That makes 275 million...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/birlesik-krallikin-gozu-israilin-rampage-fuzesinde/ I don’t know how many times I have mentioned that we should be taking a page from Israel’s book and turn our TRG300 in to air launched 300+km supersonic air to ground attack missile. RAF apparently has been...

These are all great news. I have been hearing these type of possible discoveries and potential production numbers since 1960s. So please excuse me if I sound a bit of a sceptic. But I will believe it when I see it. Turkey needs just over 1million barrels of oil very day (1004 thousand barrels to...

According to what Dr Kotil has stated in Paris show on 20th June, Anka3 should fly in 2 weeks with a +/- 2 days’ margin of error . https://aviationweek.com/shownews/paris-air-show/tais-kotil-reveals-first-flight-dates-anka-3-kaan There were delays due to problems in the manufacturing and...

According to SSB and Mr Kotil’s past statements on the prototype issues, there were 5 prototypes of Hurjet being built from day one (these included the ground test units); And there will be 14 KAAN prototypes built before serial production of Block 10 are in the pipeline. 2 of these 14 will be...

There seems to be some misunderstanding here. What @Chocopie is suggesting is a viable cooperation between two countries where they join forces to develop certain technologies together. We see examples of these cooperative endeavours in France/UK, France/Italy, France/Germany, UK/Italy joint...

MTOW stands for Maximum Take-Off Weight. So as the name suggests it is the maximum weight with which the plane can manage to take off, with the engine that is on it. That includes everything ; the payload (internal plus external) and fuel. quote: The Dassault nEUROn UCAV is configured as a...

Best way to fight and have the upper hand in any battle or war is to be able to slap your opponent in any way you want when they don’t have hands and arms to defend themselves with. In all Northern Syrian Turkish interventions, be it against Daesh or YPG/PKK or Syrian Regime Forces, this has...

Anka-3 should have at least 10 years newer technology on board. A lot of F35 fuselage manufacturing know-how gained over the last decade by Tusas may have gone in to the Anka’s fuselage as well. Anka-3 quite likely consists mostly of lighter composite parts. Hence the lighter empty weight...

ESSM is one of the most potent air defence missiles around today. It is supposed to stay in service well in to latter part of 2030’s. No one in public domain really knows what it’s maximum altitude and range is. Most educated guesstimates are with a possible effective range of up to 80km. Any...

Horizon distance depends entirely on how high you are or where your radar is. As a quick calculator let me give you a simple formula: Horizon distance = 3.57 √eye height So if you stood on a cliff 33.5m high with your eyes at 36m; Horizon distance = 3.57 x √36 = 21.4km Due to atmospheric...

Similar but different. Deli has a 3.1 kg explosive payload with a MTOW of 13kg and 85km range. It stays in the air for 75minutes while cruising at 80km/h and has a top speed of 180km/h. It can operate day and night against sea or land surface targets. It is capable of target search and...

Idealab IL-1600 engine supposedly powers the Super-Şimşek

I really hope that the Hisar-RF or even Siper can be quad packed in to our MIDLAS. But one has to take in to consideration the exhaust return chutes and their space requirements? You don’t just fit the bare missiles in to those canisters. All those gasses and flames have to be exhausted from the...
