As per @Abdelaziz ‘s explanation, Firtina doesn’t really need a lot of speed. But these are electric motors continuously powered by a generator and batteries. Generator will keep supplying electric motors whilst charging the batteries and the system will use the electricity produced by both...

https://www.turdef.com/Article/mkes-firtina-blows-silently/593 In 2017 MKE was experimenting with hybrid solution of Firtina engine. But now this latest engine they have displayed in IDEF seems to be very promising. 1300HP power with 10000NM torque is enough to power most MBTs comfortably...

Mr I Demir has spoken to TRT News about Air Defence issues, TFX and other ongoing defence projects; Some of the bullet points were: - Kara Atmaca : We are about to commission the land to land version of Atmaca missile. - On EW area: We, recently have fielded very important products for EW...

I have feeling that we love over engineering when we produce defence weapon platforms. If you check out the technology used in our Hisar range of missiles you will find that the dual pulse rocket motor tech we use is probably going to give us the the best probability of hitting targets. Almost...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/agir-sinif-taarruz-helikopterine-rotor-ustu-mildar/ I think the reply is here about Mildar. On the T-929 the new Mildar will be positioned above the rotor blades.

I think they already have the better armour. Otherwise there is no point in “modernising”. Also without Akkor protection system I wouldn’t like to see any personnel in these vehicles. From the articles published, my understanding is that there will be unmanned versions of these E-M113 vehicles...

If they modernise the M113s with new engine, better armour, new gun and new tracks you are effectively getting a new armoured Fighting Vehicle. Below was the standard M113 FoV modernisation done by FNSS. Now MKE is adding a Hybrid Engine as well. We have over 2800 of them in our inventory...

https://www.defenceturk.net/modernize-edilen-ilk-kc-135r-blok-45-tanker-ucagi-teslim-alindi First of the 7 KC-135 tankers have been modernised and returned home under Boeing’s KC-46A programme. These old birds are being given new lease of life to carry on operating. But I would also like to see...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/mkeden-tskya-50-adet-e-zma/ Turkısh land forces are buying 50 E-ZMA from MKE. According to the managing director of MKE, these vehicles have no combustion motors to power the vehicle and run on Hybrid Diesel generators. This way the Diesel generator produces...

Apparently, Israel has changed the ballistic flight trajectory of this missile substantially. It can fly between 1-9 km altitude and can make a number of manoeuvres to make it self less of a target. And dive in to intended target at 90degrees. This capability comes with compromises however...

I don’t understand why you are so negative in your expressions. What do you mean Grad ER comparison no good. Of course it is valid. But for a ground launched rocket. It was there to prove to you that the projectiles follow a parabolic trajectory. Grad and Grad-ER are land launched. So they are...

That is one bad-ass bomb! Used with HGK or KGK guidance kits it will be sooo effective! Used with LGK it will hit moving targets as well. (Tanks, naval vessels) Both Aksungur and Akinci will be capable of delivering it. Look what a thermobaric bomb does to 1500ton USS McNulty!

Now finally you have come round to what I have been trying to explain to you. That graph you have shared is somehow “similar” to Grad trajectory graphs. And the air launched missile trajectories are almost in line with how they should be. I am glad we are now seeing eye to eye! My only criticism...

That is a valid question! Unless we are using a very powerful explosive that we are not aware of, the frontal penetration power of Tanok on modern tanks is open to discussion. But top attack capability of Tanok makes it a missile to be reckoned with. The Israeli version Lahat has an effective...

You may look at Israeli “Rampage” missile. It is a 300mm diameter guided artillery rocket with a different seeker head adjusted to be used from F16 fighters at high altitude and high speed. They have fitted 4 of them on each jet.

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/
