    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...

    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...

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.

    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/

    I’m afraid you are commenting on stuff you don’t know again. All missiles of the TRG family have a ballistic flight path in one way or another. Ballistic means moving under the force of Earth’s gravity. All these missiles (TRG 122, 230, 300, Bora) they are all what we would call quasi ballistic...

    Do we know the range of this rocket when launched from a UAV? The range given here is land launched range. When launched at altitude it should be much further. We should be looking at well within stand off distances. This missile travels at over 3 Mach. It’s apogee is around 20km. So if...

    Hit the nail on the head. Top attack against Leo2A6Hel before the Leo can target our M60T. More accurate targeting of moving tanks or armoured vehicles as an extra advantage.
