    Well, I told you :) . Bayraktar TB2 is a menace. It is extremely hard to counter. It is cheap and expendable (you won't cry over losing them), It can fly high to avoid air defenses, it can hit mobile targets 15km away with great accuracy. It is extremely mobile (you can deattach wings and move...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    According to the US, only 200 cruise and ballistic missiles are used up to today. This is a very low number for a Ukraine-sized country. Google and find out how many tomahawks were used when the US invaded Iraq. Precision munitions can destroy the airforce on the ground or disrupt its operations...

    Legendary Free Syrian Army figure Suhail Muhammad Hamoud aka Abu TOW wants to join the Ukrainian ranks to fight against the Russian invasion. He is a fine guy who scored more than 140 hits with ATGMs and survived several assassination attempts of the Al-Nusra Front (Al-Qaeda off-shoot)...

    I have double confirmed that Ukrainian TB2s are not destroyed. They are in good condition and they are running sorties. Ukrainian Armed Forces are using TB2s cautiously for mostly recon missions. TB2s played a big role in some of the Ukrainian victories by sending valuable recon videos. TB2s are...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    It seems like the Russian airborne assault on Gostomel/Hostomel airport failed miserably. The Russians lost 6-7 helicopters (2 of them are Ka-52). Most of the troops at the airport are killed by Ukrainian Spetsnaz and Ukrainian national guards. Some survivors run to the nearby forests.

    Again what is the altitude? BTW ESSM-1 has a ~27nm (50km) maximum range at 5km altitude. 40km range is given for 8km altitude. ESSM-2 has also similar range altitude values. If you do the math Hisar-RF is similar to ESSM-1/2. 35km@10km, 40km @8km, and 50km @5km are the same thing.

    Range alone means nothing. Altitude and range should be given together. Hisar-RF is "at least" similar in performance to ESSM 2. Hisar-RF has around 35km range at 10km altitude and at those values the missile still has enough kinetic energy(thanks to dual pulse rocket motor) to preserve its...

    For now and it is better than nothing. Let me remind you that we have a huge portion of Turkish-owned Blacksea still untouched.

    Dude next year we will start using the Blacksea gas lol TPAO is laying pipes while you are writing this.

    EU will hurt the most. Russia can redirect its gas to China at any point. Sure Russia will lose some revenues but it is not like Russia can't sell its gas to anyone. We can weather this storm with Qatari and Azerbaijani gas and in a few years, Blacksea gas will come into play.

    Siper Block 1 is an interim solution with little effort. Just add a booster to increase the range of Hisar-RF and you are good to go. The real Siper missile will be similar to Barak-8, and with a booster, it will be similar to Barak-8ER.

    We are ahead in space tech as a whole compared to Iran. Don't forget launch systems are only a portion of the space tech. Also, we have one of the best hybrid launch system programs in the world.

    Kargı is both Harpy and Harop at the same time. The front/nose section is semi-modular (not as modular as Kuzgun which will be literally plug-and-play). As I wrote in the past payload options include one of or a combination of passive RF seeker, EO system, and SATCOM. The deliveries are going...

    Because of BMC :). We have to wait for BMC to turn one of their armored vehicles into an amphibious vehicle. Both FNSS and Otokar have amphibious vehicles that might carry the Sungur turret.

    Korkut is amphibious. This was never designed nor planned as an amphibious vehicle. And I doubt BMC tactical armored vehicle which will carry Sungur is amphibious but another amphibious vehicle can be selected from one of our armored vehicle producers.

    Hisar-A+ project is canceled and it is merged with the Hisar-O+ project. A low amount of Hisar-A+ systems are delivered and the project is stopped. Sungur and Sungur+ will replace Hisar-A+ mobile systems. Sungur/Sungur+ will be used from very mobile wheeled armored vehicles. Sungur+ will also be...
