Yet Kalibr missile works in exactly the opposite manner. Some versions of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles travel at subsonic speeds most of the way. But have a second propulsion stage that initiates a supersonic sprint in the terminal approach to the target, reducing the time that target's...

I know Russian gear is proving to be not as good as advertised. But the Ramjet and Scramjet technology they apply to their missiles is a reality. And good. They helped India develop Brahmos 1 and 2. Producing a prototype of a missile and then serial production of that missile in bulk are two...

SU-35 is the much upgraded version of the Soviet era SU-27. Instead of AL-31 class engines it uses the latest version of AL-41 class engines. It has the latest Russian avionics and sensors on board. I guess we all know how good they are. When a plane is being built, it is built around the...

If the KGK-Siha-82 has a seeker head that does not advertise too much that it is coming, and since it is very small, plus comparatively slow, the enemy ships’ radars won’t register it. The KGK class smart bombs have stealthy structures anyway. So they are not easily picked up by enemy radars. In...

Definitely! But can you imagine the satisfaction you would get when an AKYA torpedo explodes few metres below the hull of a large frigate and breaks it in half? And then when the ship sinks; Just think what it would do to the morale of you enemy! Never mind the impossibility of repair of a...

MK82 bomb weight is a 227kg. But the actual bomb contains 87-89kg of explosives in a metal container shell that weighs 140-150kg. It is the shrapnel effect of the metal shell that devastates ground forces. Both Harpoon and Atmaca missiles weigh around 700kg and have an explosive payload of...

Convergent and divergent ducts change movement of airflow and is achieved by moving the nozzle. These are 2 F110 engines of a F15. by moving the nozzles you can converge and diverge airflow. DIVERGENT DUCT CONVERGENT DUCT PS if you can make this. Yes TVC also is a possibility. But it...

In order to have TVC we need an engine first. If we go with RR making the engine and ask them for a TVC version like they have on their EJ-200 engine, then may be, yes. I can’t remember Mahmut Aksit implying. What he said was moving nozzle construction. That is not TVC. F110 has them as well...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/levent-yakin-hava-savunma-sistemi-son-durum/ Roketsan’s Levent point defence system is being prepared to start first firing tests soon. This RAM look-alike defence system will use upgraded Sungur missiles with RF seeker heads. The system is such that the missiles...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/murat-ikinciden-siper-hava-savunma-sistemi-aciklamasi/ It looks like Siper Block-1 will enter TSK inventory at the beginning of 2023. There have been a lot of interest for Siper from abroad as well. Apparently Aselsan, Roketsan and Tubitak-Sage trio have been...

The formula for distance of horizon is: d=~√2hR d= distance h= height of your eyes R= radius of Earth for ease of calculation we can simplify it to d=~ 3.57√h So if your eyes are at 100m above sea level then the horizon is at 35.7km away. Hoewver radar horizon is a little bit further: d=~4.12 √h...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsanin-topcu-muhimmatlari-polonya-yolcusu/ Roketsan has signed a technical cooperation agreement with the MOD of Poland for the guided artillery rocket systems of Turkey. This means there is an export opportunity of these artillery rockets to Poland in one...

Dogfights with LOS communications are possible with drones like KE. Ground pilots can execute far shaper and dangerous g-turns than manned planes, without endangering themselves. They can easily fight off and chase away illegal airspace incursions by enemy aircrafts. Beyond LOS engagements AI...

Iskander-M missile is great on paper. Russians may have blown it out of proportion a bit though. They say it is a hypersonic missile. But it is hypersonic only for a while, depending on how aerodynamic and heavy it is at terminal phase. We saw how well they hit their targets. Albeit an export...
