IMPORTANT: Please back up any posts made after the 20th of July up until now (screenshot or copy). A restore is planned for 09:00-10:00 UTC on the 30th of July, downtime expected.
No I am not.
Ballistic missile exo atmospheric interception, like US SM3 missiles have performed in the last few days, need a much longer detection range than our CAFRAD can provide. AN/TPY-2 radar in Kurecik has a detection range of 3000 km.
CAFRAD has a detection range of 600km. (Its...
BBC just gave the news that Israel claiming the Head of Iranian Security Forces ALİ Larijani has been assassinated.
In response, Iran has given out a letter supposedly written by Larijani.
This has become the new form of war now. Target the top Echelon of your Enemy’s command structure.
It is irrelevant now!

Nato allies have rejected Trump’s call for help in Hormuz.
Place them on the LHDs in side-baskets like Italians do. You don’t spend target practice platforms costing over billions to carry Siper missiles.
May be in time we will have more Tepe destroyers. But not now when we need to focus on our airforce.
Hopefully. They have already cut Steel.
I am almost on your team.
Since we have started building Tepe Class, there should be 2 of them in total. (Same with TCG Anadolu ; they should build TCG Trakya with an effective runway of 230metres operating arresting wires for KE and Anka-3).
In stead there should be 4 to 6 x 5000 ton...
Bro,
I am no naval engineer. But with little knowledge I have for sailing boats, I can say that downsizing Tepe like Milgem may not be possible.
Tepe Class has design measurements of:
149m length
21.3m width
5.75m draught
This gives it a tonnage of 8600tons. That width and draught gives it the...
Just check out the cost of Type 45 Daring Class destroyers of UK.
According to below report in 2016 ,each ship cost 1.2 billion dollars. With today’s dollar that is 1.7 billion dollars. It hasn’t got as many VLS as ours . Infact 48 cells only. Tepe will have 96 cells. Overall they are very...
My topic was laser guidance in general, not specific missile type. Laser guidance was invented by Texas Instruments in the 1960’s, to give pin point precision to guided munitions. It gives immunity from EW. It is ideal for hitting moving targets. The modern laser targeting uses pulse coded...
Compared to US laser targeted missiles and even MAM-L firings, this is a poor shot. Baykar needs to address this deficiency. On top of it this was a shot on a stationary target. Laser guidance normally is good for moving targets.
Bro, Electronic Warfare (EW) will have significant effects on both GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)
.As the name suggests it affects electronic equipment. Both GPS and INS contain electronic systems.
GPS signals are weak signals and the electronic systems receiving it can be jammed...
That is false economy. It s not feasible to shoot thousands of 30thousand dollar Shaheeds with 3 to 4 million dollar AD missile each time. You would soon end up spending billions.
Ukranians use 50 caliber guns fitted on to pickups to bring them down. We have a similar gun based system to...
All above posts are positive sides. If I become the devil’s advocate;
Are kamikaze drones really that effective?
Shaheeds in Ukraine have a hit rate of around 10-15%. Majority being shot by cheap gun systems. Only in swarm mode could they be more effective. Russians claim up to 45% success...
Flat-nosed, or "blunt," missile nose cones are designed to manage extreme aerodynamic heating by creating a detached bow shock wave, which pushes the hottest gases away from the missile's surface.
Blunt Body Aerodynamics: By using a blunt (flat) nose instead of a sharp point, the shock wave...
THAAD uses a BAE Systems built IIR seeker.
These seekers are used at the final terminal stage to pinpoint a target’s position. They are covered with heat absorbing materials and are made available at the last stage of a missile’s flight where the cover (the shroud) is discarded...
Brasil doesn’t really have any enemies.But the real gist of the matter here is being able to have access to nuclear power and nuclear technology, through which they intend to manufacture their own mini nuclear reactors to use in nuclear submarines.
They have a huge country and a long shoreline...
Forget “America First” .
It is “Israel First“ for all US presidents and Senate/Congress members.
That has been the case for quite sometime now. So it is no surprise!
US has two missile systems in the Iran theatre that can achieve this: ATACMS and PrSM.
ATACM has a 300km range with a single rocket launcher and is good for stationary targets. After 2016 there was a program to make ATACMS that can hit moving sea targets. But it was later shelved. So if the...
