    This is, if I am not mistaken, Bozdogan missile. Both Bozdogan and Gokdogan have solid fuel rocket engines. They burn all the fuel they have to bring the missiles to their 4 Mach top speed. Then at terminal stage they have no new thrust. Each time they have to make a sharp course correction...

    There are some discrepancies in this write up. We know and it is a fact that a Ramjet engine is most efficient at speeds around 3 Mach. So it has to cruise at that speed. As it approaches 6 Mach it starts developing shock waves inside the compression chamber, decreasing thrust and increasing...

    Although no news is coming through at the moment, as per @Cabatli_53 mentioned over two years ago in Pakistan Defence Forum, there is a work being done on Bora2 missile. This work should let us see the emergence of a 500+km range new Bora with a seeker head that can hit moving sea targets. As...

    First of all, speed is important in a Ramjet. For the ramjet to operate or kick in, there has to be a good amount of air coming in to the compression chamber. To achieve this the missile has to reach high subsonic or low supersonic speeds depending on combustion chamber design parameters...

    MR Okumuş of Tubitak started it. He mentioned liquid fuelled ramjet trials. Never mentioned solid fuelled ramjet in his interviews. So everyone is speculating that this Gökhan could be liquid fuelled.

    We all know the difficulties and downsides of liquid fuelled missiles. Shelf-life, preparation before launching, stocking of missile are not as easily tackled as solid fuelled missiles. Brahmos on the other hand is a liquid fuelled Ramjet engined missile with a solid fuelled discardable booster...

    In fact when asked about our ambitions and work carried out for Ramjet engines, he said the ambition and next stage now is not Ramjet but Scramjet!

    Super rapid is the one that we should go for, on our I-class ships. With Aselsan fire control system specially developed for them it is the perfect match. Vulcano style indigenous ammunition is also something to look in to. This ammunition gives pin point accuracy with 40km range. 127mm version...

    Not just JDAM, but JSOW was also produced under the name of KGK. Today Turkish airforce uses HGK and KGK in place of the JDAM and JSOW. we did buy a small quantity of these so that our planes are aware of them. So that we can introduce our HGK and KGK as JDAM and JSOW to our planes’ computers.

    Am I understanding correctly? Taking your printer analogy as an example; You need certain drivers (software) to plug your printer to the computer. Those drivers are written with software that has info of your printer embedded in it’s core. So if you are going to use an ESSM on MDAS, you will...

    When you are in a “consortium” like this and are active in the development of the missile with a view to producing certain parts, you have access to most of the tech involved in the missile. That gives you a big head start. G40 is the fine example of this!

    Good question! One logic could be: As we are producing our own missiles as well; Then it is only fair to think that anybody buying our MDAS should buy our missiles. Also any body buying our missiles should use our MDAS. During integration of foreign equipment or ammo to your indigenous...

    Multiple Atmaca missiles can be fired on a target with multiple predetermined flight plans to saturate target ship’s defence. Some with top attack, some with different flight paths, some sea skimming all the way. If it is possible to sink a ship worth 3-400 million dollars, with 10-12 of these...

    ESSM block-1 alternative is probably G40. Block 2 is actually a little more manoeuvrable and does not rely on ship’s radar for homing on to it’s target. Apart from that it is no different from block-1. As we are in the ESSM consortium, we did extensive work on the development of both bocks. So...

    Actually, no foreign made missiles will be suitable for MDAS. Only home made missiles will be usable. Our own missiles too, will not be suitable on MK41 VLS systems. That is the way it will be now.

    He has also mentioned that AKYA torpedo deliveries to our subs will be on the way before the end of the year. That is a big force multiplier in it’s own right. No Anti-Ship-Missile is a replacement for a ship killer full size torpedo. An Akya exploding 1-1.5 m below the hull of any ship up to...

    There is no way Atmaca can do more than 0.9 Mach speed. But as you right fully stated there must be some mistake in the figures uttered by the reporter and the time of ”actual” flight. There are few important points that are missing : 1. What is the actual distance of the target? 2. Was TCG...
