Until we see a GUCHAN engine on a test bench achieving the thrust level claimed (or close to it), many of us will be sceptical. I would love to hear what Dr Aksit's view on this engine is.

A first in the world? According to this a Sudanese Akinci shot down a UAE Akinci, with Eren missile.

Ardan Zenturk too is talking about the Guchan turbofan engine. He too is singing from the same hymn sheet!

Tolga Oztek has been drawn in to the MSB ArGe farce as well. We will see tomorrow morning what it is all about when the MOD himself holds a press conference regarding Yildirimhan, Guchan etc. Tolga Ozbek mentions it is a f110 size engine. Yet still says it has 42000lbf thrust. He more or less...

See my post #179 in previous page pls. Terminal impacts velocity on earth is governed by the related formula. smaller the silhouette and drag coefficient of the missile and the bigger the mass of the missile; then the bigger is the terminal impact speed as dictated by the formula.

Yes. Only possible way to stop them is during boost and coasting phase. Otherwise it is almost impossible.

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...

Who has written this? The tweet is not opening

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...
