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...

Any attack in to Russian soil will mean war spilling in to Turkish mainland. Russian war doctrine states that any attack on Russian soil will have repercussions of same. If war breaks out in Karabakh, it will stay in Karabakh. If it breaks out in Armenia, it should be confined to Armenian...

From the info coming through we can say that before the end of this year, system functionality review (SFR) and system requirements review (SRR) will be completed. With that, PDR will come to an end. The program will be in the stage of initial roll-out next year in March with engines fitted and...

Why not? Money, experience, know how attainment, guaranteed anti ballistic missiles in inventory.

Are you asking for English translation? It says that Foreign Minister Cavusoglu has stated that after our President’s meeting with his French and Italian counterparts, manufacturing of Samp-T systems in Turkey is being considered more seriously.

True. You haven’t. My bad. Two different, but on same topic, conversations got mixed up. If the grapevine rumours regarding Turkish space rocket developments are correct, we may have a potential missile in hand already, that can be of ASAT class. Of course having a potential missile and the...

Actually No. But you are correct about the lesser missiles. For low orbit and for many LEO satellites at different altitudes, a smaller sized missile could be used as a satellite killer. SM3 with a MK41 VLS launch capability is a good example of this. ASAT missiles with various ranges and...

Depends on how high the orbit is. That translates to : around 28000km/hour at a 200km high orbit. around 25000km/hour at 2000km high orbit. around 11000km/hour at 36000km high orbit (geosynchronous)

Well it is self evident. The biggest ICBMs are able to reach 2000km altitude. That means they have the capacity to take down Low-Orbit satellites. ”Any nation that can build an ICBM, can readily arrange it so that it will hit a satellite” ASAT missiles developed by US, Russia and China all use...

Sorry! But evidence to what? @Huelague had a claim that we could get anti satellite capability through partnership with Samp-T.

Wow! Talking about flying high!! 😇 Aster 30 Block 2BMD is still being developed, has maximum altitude of 20km. Low orbit satellites are at an altitude between 250km and 2000km. Geo-synchronous satellites are at 36000km. Missiles capable of hitting even the Low orbit ones, will have to have ICBM...

If what this site says is correct, we spent around 600 million dollars to develop Hisar A and O missile systems. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/hisar.htm If a cooperation is going to cut the cost of Siper block 0 and block 1 and 2 missile systems, why not get in to a...

Not to mention the cost savings both Italy and France will have.!!

Exactly. Norway is buying the cheaper priced F35s. So today F35 is a 80 million dollar plane. But having said that I wonder how much it would cost as a contract package, say if Greece were to buy these. They will need spares, training, weapons integration etc. So the package may be as much as...

I don’t remember him quoting exact amounts like you have. But being vague , like “half of F35’s cost” . Well; F35-A first came out of production line, it was over 100million a piece and only recently was it around 78million dollars. Then there is F-35B which still cost good part of 120million...
