Very informative video. But please remember to write an English summary or explanation for our non Turkish members to understand as well .

It mentions Mahmut Aksit being Assc. Professor (Doçent) . Mahmut Faruk Aksit is a fully fledged Professor and MD of TEI.. This one is another younger Mahmut Aksit from another University. Please don’t get then mixed up.

I suggest you read the previous message that @HTurk has written in post #2972 to which I had responded. Then my response will make sense. I am not writing about CAKIR or any missile that has datalink and swarm capability. I am writing about “bunch of guided missiles” as per post #2972, of which...

So if you fire 4 guided trg300 successively, they come together after a while and automatically become a swarm even if they haven’t got datalink connection. These are simple, cheap guided missiles to suppress enemy positions. Unless swarm capability is given to a missile that statement you...

https://blog.geaviation.com/product/ges-adaptive-cycle-engine-deliver-transformational-performance/ GE has been working on CMC - Ceramic Matrix-Composite materials to improve the thermal and physical characteristics of jet engines used in fighter planes. F414 engine trials have shown the success...

English explanation please!

Which part is wrong? Swarm Saturation? Your TOT and STOT explanation IS Swarm Saturation attack mode. Atmaca can achieve swarm attack mode by redirecting itself via data link info it receives from source, bringing 2 or more missiles launched successively, in line for swarming. You are explaining...

When you fire a bunch of guided missiles at a target, they all fly at the target successively at different times with a good amount of distance between them. This gives opportunity to selectively target incoming missiles and time for defending ship to target one after the other. Cakir has...

That is the news in a lot of circles. But remember that the KC-135s are going through major avionics based upgrading. One plane already back with upgrades. Second is in US at the moment. Why spend money if Airbus 330 conversion is on the table? Unless of course they will all be included in to...

I wonder if any of the bidders, apart from the Chinese can meet the deadlines for delivery. Even countries like Germany has to wait until 2025 for the production of their typhoon planes that they produce themselves in house. I can’t see Hurjet being ready by that deadline when it hasn’t even...

Fully agree with you. When you have limited number of tubes and missile storage spaces available, you would want to use them for your most “meaningful” and relevant weapons. Nothing can replace the devastation caused by an under hull explosion of a heavy weight torpedo. So you would only use...

For coastal defences I am waiting for the news of 500+km range Bora -2 with improved terminal speed that can hit moving sea targets, until our own sea skimming ramjet and scramjet missiles become a reality. A Brahmos class ramjet powered anti ship missile hitting any destroyer class ship head...

TEI TJ-300 gives 1342 Newton thrust. This missile will need 1750Newton thrust. So it is understandable that they are going for another engine class. But I just hope we don’t wait another 8 years like we did with KTJ-3200! There should also be a TEI TJ-400 with nearly 1800Newton thrust. Most of...

Atmaca is a 750-800kg missile and has 250kg of explosive payload and it may be just about sufficient to be able to sink a modern frigate. But we may need two of them to do the job properly. Cakir, is going to be too light weight a missile to do the same job. It’s use from helicopters and UAVs...

It is not a surface to air missile. It is primarily an air to surface and surface to surface missile developed to be deployed from unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, fighter planes and surface positions with a range of 150+km. it is a low sea skimming missile that will have swarm attack...

Infantry soldier in the field, is under a lot of threat at the moment. He can be prey to sharp shooters from far away. So because of that, do we need to stop sending infantry in to battle? No! We teach him not to stick his head out too much and provide him with necessary bulletproof vests etc...

From all info available at the moment, one can say that CAKIR is an economical “Swiss Knife” of anti ship missiles. One size fits all. But as a Swiss-Knife it is never going to be as effective as a full size Anti Ship misssile like a SOM-C or an Atmaca. it is small and may not have enough...

Usage of more widespread composite materials in all missiles and rockets is taking place. This is resulting in substantial decrease in weight, hence longer ranges and/or more explosives. As per @boracetkin ‘s post, SOM already has composite parts which together with a low observable geometry...
