You don't really need a specific Hisar RF specification. Because it is essentially a Hisar O+ missile with RF seeker head. It uses the same propulsion. Below site has Ismail Demir's take on the same where he is telling that the Hisar O+ fitted with RF seeker has been successfully fired...

If you know what a dual thrust engine is , then you know that it is only one engine and one fuel tank. But in the fuel tank you have two different fuels; One fuel burns quick and gives sudden and quick thrust. The other fuel burns slow and sustains the speed of the first fuel. quote: ESSM...

ESSM uses a Dual-Thrust engine to propel it. Hisar-RF uses a Dual-Pulse engine. So ESSM reaches it’s maximum speed of 4 Mach quickly and the dual propellant sustains this speed as long as it can. Then the missile starts losing speed. Especially when it has to manoeuvre. Hisar-RF goes up to a...

The 2 antenna version of RIM-116 has a 180 degree coverage. By rotating the missile they achieve 360 degree coverage. As an added bonus they do away with angle ambiguity problem. RIM-116 also has 2 more antennas at the rear to block signal interference. This Turkish missile has been developed...

US built RIM-116 missile has 2 RF antennas. So it‘s interferometer can only make measurements of signal phase interference in a single plane. To take measurements in two planes the missile rolls around its own axis. This also resolves the problem of angle ambiguity. Turkish, Evolved Sungur...

This is an engine that develops high power for take off. So it was an engine that TEI was developing to be used on UAVs like TB3 for TCG Anadolu. It’s cruise performance at high altitude is not as good as PD170. But gives very high power at take off. Unless Turkey gives up the notion of carrier...

As far as I know, all earlier Aksungur planes in operation had 2 x PD155 engines. But now 2 x PD170 engines have been integrated. This article now states that with these engines it can operate with 750kg external weight at 25Kft for 12 hours.

PD170, already in use with Anka, finally being used in Aksungur as well. Most important statement in the article is the altitude at which Aksungur flew with her new engines; 40000ft ! Flying with Hurkus. This engine will improve the flight envelope of the plane further.

What history? History written by the Western and pro Armenian writers of unreliable Wikipedia (by the way most serious forums do not accept Wikipedia as source material) ? British empire, the most powerful country in the world at the end of 1st world war, arrested all Ottoman generals and...

Turkey doesn’t need source codes of F16s. Ozgur modernisation involves rewriting complete flight computer program and all relevant programs associated in the performance of the plane and it’s weapons. Ozgur means liberated in Turkish. The plane becomes our “bitch”. It will do whatever we want it...

Gokdeniz-ER : shown below is work of Aselsan and Tubitak Sage No clear information on the missiles to be used. But as you mentioned is thought to be a derivative of Bozdogan. Basically thought as a stand alone unit with its own Aesa based radar system. Levent Missile system: is developed by...

Great news. In order to do away with a rolling missile, they are using a 4 x RF antenna set up instead of 2 antennas used in RIM-116, on what looks like a hybrid seeker head. Levent, CAKIR and Siper missiles joining the long inventory list of indigenous weapons is putting Turkey even more...

We have discussed it here earlier with @Nilgiri about the upgrading typhoon tranche 1. Apparently as it stands it is very difficult to upgrade it from tranche 1 to tranche 3 or 4 , due to the main stumbling block of Aesa radar being integrated in to other avionics. But the tranche 1 can be...

Dear members this is Turkish defence export thread. all off topic posts have been moved to https://defencehub.live/threads/turkic-military-culture-thread.7116/page-9 please continue your discussions there. In the future try to refrain from off topic posts or create a new thread.

Yet Kalibr missile works in exactly the opposite manner. Some versions of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles travel at subsonic speeds most of the way. But have a second propulsion stage that initiates a supersonic sprint in the terminal approach to the target, reducing the time that target's...

I know Russian gear is proving to be not as good as advertised. But the Ramjet and Scramjet technology they apply to their missiles is a reality. And good. They helped India develop Brahmos 1 and 2. Producing a prototype of a missile and then serial production of that missile in bulk are two...

SU-35 is the much upgraded version of the Soviet era SU-27. Instead of AL-31 class engines it uses the latest version of AL-41 class engines. It has the latest Russian avionics and sensors on board. I guess we all know how good they are. When a plane is being built, it is built around the...
