It’s usage profile given by Roketsan does not include helicopters. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/tanok-120-mm-laser-guided-missile/

You are doing it again. You are making presumptions without scientific background. I have given you sources and tried to explain the mechanics of ballistic flight. First you said “Air launched missiles do not follow ballistic trajectory”. Now you say they follow a different ballistic...

Sorry @UkroTurk 🚬 , I should read more carefully! You are correct. The minimum range is not low. But remember that these are quasi ballistic 2-3 Mach speed rockets. They have to go up with propellant, then come down at free fall. If they were like Umtas/Hellfire 1.5 Mach rockets with rocket...

@TheInsider This is to show you how the same rocket propelled missile when launched from a fighter jet at different air speeds and different altitudes “could” travel . As you can see they are all following an arc. And the movement is ballistic.

TRG122 has a maximum range of 35 km. Not 12km. earlier tr122 missiles had 20km range. TR 122 has a max range of 40 km. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/trg-122-guided-rocket/ https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/t-122-mbrl-multi-barrel-rocket-launcher-mbrl-system/

I’m afraid you are commenting on stuff you don’t know again. All missiles of the TRG family have a ballistic flight path in one way or another. Ballistic means moving under the force of Earth’s gravity. All these missiles (TRG 122, 230, 300, Bora) they are all what we would call quasi ballistic...

Do we know the range of this rocket when launched from a UAV? The range given here is land launched range. When launched at altitude it should be much further. We should be looking at well within stand off distances. This missile travels at over 3 Mach. It’s apogee is around 20km. So if...

Hit the nail on the head. Top attack against Leo2A6Hel before the Leo can target our M60T. More accurate targeting of moving tanks or armoured vehicles as an extra advantage.

It must be what you say. An error in marking .

That makes sense! But 2 dual pulse motors? If it is Hisar O, then there should be just one dual pulse motor. As you would know a dual pulse motor uses half of fuel in first part of the flight. Then uses the second part of fuel for the final approach to target. To have 2 dual pulse motors...

I think Turkish solution was an ingenious piece of simple thought process. Our design engineers simply moved the centre of gravity of the vessel by extending it 235cm. That resolved the issue of listing to one side.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tanok-projesi-basarilarla-ilerliyor/ Well! @Combat-Master , Iam not pulling your leg! 🤣 According to this news, Roketsan is planning to realise first deliveries of Tanok within two years. It has gone through all necessary tests with success.

What is this? 2 x dual pulse motors? Hybrid stage? Dual pulse motors are typically with solid fuel.

Before Altay, there are 169 M60T and 350 Leopard 2a4 tanks that need this weapon. I hope it gets ready before that. T3 Altay which is the unmanned turret version; At the rate of production BMC is envisaging, can be a decade away. I hope you are wrong!

I was wondering that too. In fact when I first saw the news of Tanok, I thought it was ready to be integrated in to our tanks. This weapon is a real game changer in the battlefield. Particularly it’s ability to attack from top; Weakest point of any tank. As well as tanks it can be used against...

As turbine inlet temperatures go higher and higher in our quest to get more out of a gas turbine, we need to find super alloys that will be able to withstand the ridiculously high temperatures attained in the turbines. Ruthenium is a rare earth metal that is in the same group as the platinum in...

True! My mistake! I should have clarified that it is the turbine fan diameter. As can be seen fan is in the left. Turbine fans at the far right. And much smaller.

Less than 50% yield is very low. That means we need to go a long way before we reach 85%+ levels. These blades, especially the larger ones take along time to manufacture. In order to join the top league of single crystal manufacturers club we need to hit 90% at least. It is also important to be...

What you have written in Turkish sounds feasible and logical. But if it is your own opinion it is still void of source material. Or is this what you were told by TEI? You of all people should be most aware that what makes forums like this and it’s writers believable are the source materials they...

https://www.defenceturk.net/tanok-ile-tanklara-lazer-gudumlu-vurus-yetenegi With it’s semi active laser guidance and up to 6km range, Tanok is an anti tank missile that can be fired from 120mm guns of our tanks. One thing that the writer has missed in above article is the Tanok’s ability to have...
