You may be correct from your own perspective. But from the article I have shared, what I understand is that US company has developed a ”more lethal” explosive for the “next generation” 2+ER version. It is NOT the same type of explosive used in previous Harpoons. It clearly compares this one to...

Standard Harpoon missile’s warhead was 221kg. New Harpoon Next Generation has a warhead of 140kg with much more destructive and lethal power than the standard one. Quote: Harpoon Next Generation boasts a host of new features to improve performance. It will have an increased range of 134nm, a...

This was discussed in detail in previous page. See #1926

Can you rephrase this please? Do you mean, the destructive effect of a warhead is not only governed by the explosive’s weight? If so I agree with you.

JSOW does not have an engine. But JSOW-ER does. It uses a Pratt & Whitney TJ-150 engine. Spear missile has a specially developed P&W TJ-150-3 engine. Safran initially was charging us for tr40 engines, close to 150K in US dollars. KTJ-3200 will be a lot cheaper. There is no turbojet engine with...

Main advantages that are expected by having a railgun are: 1. Long range 2. High Speed 3. Cheap rounds By decreasing your speed and range you are defeating the object of having a rail gun. Sahi-209 seems to be doing what you are suggesting. And it is not getting them anywhere! You might as well...

A lot of “waffle”! Alot of “will” , “shall”, “going to”. But nothing ventured nothing gained. If you do not push your limits you will not succeed in such new technologies. I have respect for these guys though. They were the original pioneers to try this tech in Turkey. And they are trying. But...

Exactly my point! No I don’t think it is off topic. This weapon predominantly is being developed for sea vessels in place of their main gun. There is a thread dedicated to Railgun as well though! When you compare the cabling and the ionised air in the form of a fireball between this and...

US is postponing the work on Rail-Gun project indefinitely, because: 1. Only 2 ships available (Zumwalt Destroyers) to provide enough power. 2. No new ships until 2028-2030 that can accommodate a Rail Gun. 3. High cost of maintenance and initial investment, for the maximum range attainable...

1. It is not cheap to produce a ship like this. We are not a cash rich country. 2. There are other ships that need to be finished before building a second one of these. 3 x I class frigates and 7 x TF2000 air defence destroyers need to be built urgently. Plus the Reis class Subs have to be...

If memory serves, Turkish Navy was the least affected by the Purge. Airforce was the worst hit.

Agreed! But… With this logic is it correct to think that the F404 engines for Hurjet could be in jeopardy? Or is Tusas not included in the embargo? (As Hurjet is a Tusas Project not SSB) Also could TFX’s f110 engines, have been embargoed had they not been already received? Just thinking out loud!

Longer range, better targeting, no need to light the target from the ship? If our G40 is comparable to this, then no need !

Roketsan is the party that is involved with the ESSM consortium.

Cost of flight hours is only one side of the medallion. Yes by having drones up in the air for bombing missions is cheaper than jet fighters. But to have continuous aerial assets up in the air is invaluable. And when they are cheap too, that is the icing on the cake. The other side of the...

Kuzgun is a new family of missiles that is modular, low-cost, suitable for multi-use, high strike sensitivity and low collateral damage. Addition of a turbojet propulsion engine, especially an imported one, will make this missile fairly expensive. As a winged glide bomb like a KGK, it is much...

Ivchenko Progress is a design bureau. Very much like our TR Motor. They have no means of production. More importantly, the production facility, Motor Sich, that is supposed to produce engines designed by Ivchenko Progress, has not produced a new design since the collapse of Soviets. Therefore...
