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...

If Saki is TCG-Işın (I don’t know what Saki is, apart from a nice Japanese drink) , as @era_shield has stated, ULAQ needs to be closer than 8km, provided it has an EO mast height of ~5metres to be able to take pictures as we are seeing here. (a simple formula for horizon distance = 3.57*√h)...

The engines Atmaca and SOM use, can not go faster than high subsonic. For a missile the size of SOM, dropped from a fast moving plane, they can do 0.95 Mach at most. But for a missile the size of Atmaca and sea skimming, the maximum speed it can manage is about 0.85-0.9 Mach.

Preparing ground work for “economic rent”. Economic rent is an amount of money earned that exceeds that which is economically or socially necessary. Market inefficiencies or information asymmetries are usually responsible for creating economic rent. Generally, economic rent is considered...

These are computer generated pictures and videos. So I wouldn’t read in to them too much. I hope they have put real life images of some of the projects they are undertaking. But, pardon me if I appear to be a pessimist. I hope you guys are correct in treating them as real life projects. Then...

Actually they found that they won’t have any ships until 2030 apart from 3 Zumwalt destroyers , to put these guns on. Also in order to hit anything they need to be 100miles from the target. China’s long range missiles would not allow them to be that close. Although Zumwalts are “Stealthy” , it...

Railgun or Electromagnetic gun is a novel idea. Definitely there is huge potential in the technology. But it is expensive, cumbersome and comes with a bunch of technical difficulties such as power needs and guidance electronics that are very hard to ignore and solve in short time. US is moving...

Not Exactly! But ktj3200 is now ready to fit and work with SOM and Atmaca. It will also pave the way for a turbofan engine to fit in to the “gezgin” cruise missile too!

According to this, Atmaca will have taken 11 years to join the inventory. The ktj3200 engine program first started in 2011. So that will have taken 10years. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/qualification-tests-of-ktj-3200-engine-still-ongoing-3940 These high tech machinery pieces take...

Akinci (top power) : length : 12.5.m wingspan : 20m engine : 2 x 750HP MTOW : 5500kg payload : 1350kg service ceiling : 12192m range : 5000km Reaper MQ9 : length : 11m wingspan : 20m engine : 1 x 900 HP MTOW : 4760kg payload : 1700kg service ceiling : 15420m range : 1900km Unless some serious...

Presumavly, F515 İstanbul and a Milgem class Corvette in a Google Earth picture. Not much going on aboard the F515. But MDAS seems to be in place. That Corvette looks different somehow. Any guesses?

When mentioning temperatures of turbine inlet area Dr. Aksit mentions Kelvin values of 1500 to near 1800. As you would know -273.15 degrees Centigrade is 0 Kelvin. So he is talking about 1525 degrees Centigrade at the upper end. The F110 engine’s specs give a turbine inlet temperature of 1510...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aksungur-iha-sonobuoy/ Aksungur is getting ready for sonobuoy launching. This is the first step towards effective ASW.

You can see the differences in wing and landing gear straight away. One question though: If only 28 Anka’s have been delivered to date, how come in 2020 there is one with No 49 stamped on it, ready to fly?

Let me correct the last paragraph if you don’t mind; He also said that mass production will start before the end of the year for Aksungur. The key point here is ; When the interviewer asked if only 28 Anka’s were delivered out of 75 ordered, if there are requests to convert the orders to...

Having read your post again I realised that I misunderstood. You are talking about attacking enemy positions with the help of small drones. Like it is in Korhan’s introductory video After 45th sec. and 1min.

If Akkor is designed to hit ATGM’s then shouldn’t it be able to hit munitions like MAM-L as well?
