No. Not correct. Because the example distance is too short. If a person sky dives from 30000m or 5000m , he will hit the ground always at the same speed. Depending on whether he is head down or flat position, that terminal speed is anything between 180km/hour to 250km/hour. If he hold his...

Yes. They almost always deplete their fuel. They have high speed depending on their weight and their cross section area. All the fuel is usually burnt during boost phase. Then missiles coast. Then start their terminal downward motion. Here is a bit of background info: Solid-Fueled Missiles...

Not quite right explanation I am afraid. As per @Zafer has stated, the bigger the mass at terminal stage the faster the missile hits it’s target If you check the terminal velocity formula: The cross section of the missile is important too. More perpendicular the missile approaches the better...

For a missile to be usable from a jet fighter, first of all the missile’s aerodynamics and overall design has to be suitable for use in a jet fighter. In short it needs to be integrated. Atmaca is built for surface to surface use. But Roketsan is still in the process of integrating it to F16. It...

Bro, I don’t think there is even an air launched version of Atmaca missile. If however it were air launched without a booster it can have a good deal more range than the surface launched version. But as it is going to travel Hi-Low-Low due to Sea skimming flight envelope, it’s range advantage...

No engine maker can make all the parts themselves. Subcontractors will produce certain parts as per the instruction they have received from TEI. TRMotor being the IP rights holder was probably signing contract with the subsystem producers (subcontractor)

That dinitrogen tetraoxide is an oxidiser. Not a fuel. Somebody should tell them to correct it. Do we know the weight and diameter of this missile? I had rather we built something like a Hynmoo 5 with 8-9 ton payload with MRBM range and specialises in bunker busting down to +100m depth.

I am lost for words. I was feeling ashamed about the Yildirimhan being a propaganda piece; now Guchan??? What on earth they have been smoking? Unless it has TEI and TRMotor signature under it, forget it. It is a joke!

Bro, Gazap is an upgraded and glorified MK84 dumb bomb. Its only speciality is being thermobaric. At the end of the day it is a 970kg bomb including its encasing. Total explosive content is around 500kg. It has a very limited effective radius (even though fragmentation radius is 1km, lethality...

Quite likely it is only a mock-up and only a project on paper. It could well be another hard moon hit project. It is not clear what they intend to do with it. If not carrying a nuclear bomb it is a total waste of money and resources. At 50-100 million dollar a piece (Even the Indian Agni 5 is...

A good forum is where all views are discussed no matter how controversial it may seem to you. Important point is to convey your views across, without stepping over the line and disobeying the forum rules. We have members here that are very controversial and in fact are enemies of sort when it...

The Uttam AESA radar utilizes roughly 900–992 Gallium Nitride modules. This is a number optimised specifically for the limited nose cone space and power availability of the Tejas MK1A. That is still a very good number of modules. Module count alone is not the defining factor. It is how the...

All sources quote “unconfirmed” figures. Unless a person is working at Aselsan on BURFIS or he is the GM of Tusas or President of SSB, no one can truly tell you the exact number. All unconfirmed sources state “thousands” of modules for BURFIS. Also almost 2000 modules for MURAD-600A and...

It is not a matter of whether we can defeat Greek Navy or not. When it comes to showing force and posturing there is nothing much we have that can match those modern naval platforms. I-Class is a great little frigate. But is not in the same caliber as a Bergamini Class ship. Just as an example...

Yes, Transmit/Receive Modules (TRMs) are gradually getting smaller and more efficient, as well as being lighter. This is allowing for a greater number of them to be packed into the nose cone of an aircraft. This evolution is due to advancements in semiconductor technology, and usage of Gallium...

Most of the information you are asking are classified. But… According to “Turkish Century” site, on each cheek of the plane it will have in excess of 2000 GaN based T/R modules. However this may be wrong translation of an official’s speech as some officials had mentioned a total of 4000+...

Let us get few facts that are not mentioned here : 1. UAV122 is a ballistic missile. It actually loses a lot of it’s speed as it approaches it‘s target. It should hit the target at a speed between 0.6 to 0.9 Mach depending on its angle of attack. But due to initial high speed and its small size...
