Another thing about ATMACA UM, its seeker has a really fine resolution tbh. Perhaps all that work on minimising components led to a quality increase for larger missiles. Now imagine launching it from aircraft with non-folding wings as something easier to manufacture compared to SOM-C...

Direct hit at extended range is really something, considering you need some good kinetic energy beforehand. I guess we can say that 45 to 50 km would be the actual max range four our big ass HİSAR missiles.

USN has discarded 155 mm AGS entirely for CPS missiles, well, sucks for them to miss the opportunity. Speaking of wear and stuff, I'm sure a hyper-velocity bullet to hit hypersonic speeds is prone to put more heat (metaphorically) on the barrel compared to a conventional round. To be honest...

I'm not very sure about HVP on 155 mm. Yeah it is far cheaper than your daily MRSAM but the fire rate is going to be very, very low. To perform the engagement that a single SAM launcher performs, you would need a whole pack of howitzers. Think of it like using a single shot sniper with big...

HVP's main design features that contribute to maintaining high speeds are 1-Sharp-angled cone: You would like to have a shockwave with angle close to your form angle, higher speeds result in sharper shock angles and they likely designed the front in accordance with the speeds it will...

The head of GÜRZ's development openly said to me that they took Ukraine War as the basis for GÜRZ and GÖKDEMIR

Layer by layer, the part I like the most being ASELSAN actually considered C-UAS as a new layer like I imagined a few years back

My live reaction after realising I have a clear top view of P3 and I can make a remodel...

ROKETSAN might have forgotten ANKA-3 for SOM-J ad but I didn't

I laughed my ass off from the chair at breakfast. Because it is pretty accurate. The construction looks pretty amateurish and I still don't know why are firms like FNSS and ASELSAN aint making another show off to show how it is done right. Talking about Hybrid KAPLAN and ASELSAN's hybrid drive.

got no damn idea where it popped outta but I don't smell any good fortune

After the whole SAPAN talk, I felt like I could drop in an idea of what might SAPAN 1 and SAPAN 2 look like (Too lazy to take a render at the time, need some sleep)

When I'm done with ANSYS stuff today, I will actually put three on Hisar OPV.

There was once a discussion of extended range ESSM with the same engine as booster stage and if we pull this idea off it will have a good potential for the market since everyone is seeking capacity after the events in Red Sea. Even the much conservative Germans are down for a frigate (destroyer)...

I've got one guess that I feel makes sense. That is a counterpart to CAMM-MR missile which is CAMM with an even larger rocket motor than ER and dual-packable into Mk41 VLS. Honestly, a mono-block in-betweener missile might come handy for frigates both here and in the world market.

I mean hell, ASELSAN should throw some hand into those names too. Imo it goes like this SAPAN-1: Quadpack HİSAR D SAPAN-2: SAPAN 1 with larger rocket motor or even a booster, idk at this point

One of my concerns is resistance to shear stress as skin is the primary component holding it. They state that the brittleness isn't awful like aerogel (Watch a few on YouTube if you don't know) which is similarly lightweight and highly insulating. I'm sure their next stop will be processability...

As expected, the dutch clown geert wilders did something childish after the match. He should go back to playing in the sand as the middle grader he is.

I howled with a double bozkurt
