    There is so much that is wrong about this that I don’t know where to start. 1. According to what you say, Bora has 320kg dry weight when totally empty. Surely….? (480kg payload??) 2. No country actually gives out specifics of their missile weights etc unless it is missiles like DF3 where it is...

    https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/07/us-navys-virginia-class-submarines-get-more-tomahawk-missiles/ The Virginia Class Block V submarine will have an additional 28 missile slots in an extended section behind the sail. This will make the submarine much longer but will increase the total...

    Even the Americans themselves realised they were far too big, expensive and unnecessary when they could have the smaller 1 billion dollar cheaper Virginia class instead. So they cancelled 26 of the 29 planned for production. Even those with bottomless pockets had to be more reasonable. But we...

    These South Korean subs are actually 3600tons, 83m long vessels with 9.6m beam. Our 214 Reis class is 1800tons, 68.5 m long with 6.3m beam. Our Milden subs would have to be significantly redesigned to accommodate a missile like Bora if such a need arose. But the question is; What are we going to...

    Quite right! 1 million dollar a piece Bora is not a missile that can be expended easily. These are very inefficient methods of conveying explosives to their targets. There are AD systems nowadays that can neutralise these missiles. So unless you are able to saturate the target or have already...

    These two terminologies, if I am not mistaken, mean; Sub Surface Guided Nuclear. Sub Surface Ballistic Nuclear. Where are we going to acquire the nuclear reactors? Or obtain nuclear heads? Yes to be a world wide power you need this capability. But we have a long way to go yet. There are only a...

    How else are you going to do the necessary propaganda? How else can you change the daily agenda that is working against you in the media? Edit: Besides those people that are not supposed to know, can see all your movements via their big brothers’ satellites.

    A missile is a vehicle that is propelled through air by a rocket engine or a jet engine. A rocket is a vehicle that can be propelled through vacuum and air. Rockets that are designed to fly predominantly in space and are very different to those that are designed to fly back to earth following a...

    What you don’t seem to understand is the fact that the way these missiles are flying and what their trajectories are like and what they are meant to do effect their range. Bora built with technologies obtained from the Chinese (Chinese used Russian Iskander as starting point) is very different...

    What some Turkish academics and lawyers believe in does not change the reality accepted by the rest of the world including UN. As far as they are concerned the Syrians in Turkey are “refugees”. Hence will have to be treated accordingly. No matter how much these academics and lawyers try to prove...

    We must not forget that Turkey has signed the UN charter regarding the handling of refugees. As the name clearly suggests these are people who were seeking “refuge” in Turkey as their lives were endangered. There are clear guidelines as to how you can handle them and how you can send them back...

    My understanding with respect to Sungur was such that, due to the successes obtained in the tests, the very short range AD work to be given to the Hisar A, has been transferred to Sungur based systems. If I am not wrong, there is still more work being carried out on the development of Sungur to...

    I guess he meant that the new Bora2 was so much more capable than old one that if we knew about it we would be so impressed with it’s performance that we would forget about the importance of elections etc. but talk about Bora2 instead. At least that is what I make of it...

    Again non of what you waffle about has any relevance to Bora1 missile achieving 1000km range. But let us look at these SRBMs from a different angle; Yildirim missile is a 2500kg 6.1m long missile with a range of 150km. In fact one can see how Bora and other missiles were developed from it. By...

    Again you are turning the conversation in to a one sided argument that has nothing to do with the original post on which my post was written. You need to understand English better! By changing different parameters of a missile, one after the other you change the range incrementally. Each small...
