Sonobuoy launchers are smaller, I literally measured it below the first tweet and officals confirmed that it is a prototype launcher design for KUZGUN KY (It was the subject that led to the big daddy variant of MARLİN when I was talking to them at the booth)
There will be a larger variant(Have seen a render of it myself during IDEF23 and it is pretty damn big). MARLIN can carry around 20 KUZGUN KY missiles.
Let's take a look at any potential project
IRBM->ROKETSAN is releasing follow ups to ballistic missile family quite quickly nowadays
400mm Artillery rocket->Since 400mm artillery rockets are becoming popular due to TBM class range and high counts it ain't gonna be a surprise for ROKETSAN to...
Update on KaGeM V3: It will also have a longer range than KEMANKEŞ. Really fascinating that ranges on par with our existent ALCMs are being achieved with far smaller munitions.
We used to talk about trying to overwhelm air defenses with expensive cruise missiles. Now we are talking about doing...
SÜPER ŞİMŞEK can be equipped with 2 kinds of EW systems according to info from TUSAŞ
1-RF receivers
2-Jammers
Additionally it can act as a decoy
I don't think they will make a new UAV for EW.
I think if they even make a follow-up on S. ŞİMŞEK, it would probably be a supersonic variant as its...
That's also my guess for SÜPER ŞİMŞEK. It is based on high agility aside from high-subsonic speed (We might see a modified supersonic variant one day) to imitate any air-breathing target.
By extension, this would lay the ground for ANKA-4's flight control system coupled with things gathered...
We get to see the KaGeM V3 with aclearer view.
Pakistani sources claim that it is intended against air defense assets
Nose hints at a passive RF seeker combined with the info.
Low aspect ratio wings and overall shape hint at a design optimized for higher speeds compared to KEMANKEŞ
So some highlights:
HİSAR-O can reach a maximum speed of Mach 3.5 wheras HİSAR-A reaches Mach 2.7. I think this eliminates any past nonsense about "HİSAR-A being subsonic"
Akıncı and KE were platforms those were new to Baykar as types .So they prioritized getting data first. TB3 like I said is a more familiar case. The real challenge will be about taking off from TCG ANADOLU's runway and something that simulates before it.
Some of the variants proposed for ORKA LWT by ROKETSAN (Yeah all offical as announced in 10th Naval Systems Seminar) (Drawings by me only)
1-Wing Guidance Kit (HAAWC Counterpart)
2-Rocket Launched (RUM-139 VL-ASROC Counterpart)
Note that ALBATROS-S is mainly a testbed for various autonomous capabilities. It is the pillar for future USV projects of ASELSAN.
For kamikaze part, the one used in test turns out to be ALBATROS-S hull with explosive payload. As exhibited in IDEF'23, finalized product will have a much lower...
I think it can benefit from DASAL's ARIKUŞU package.
ARIKUŞU includes a retractable landing pad that keeps the drone safe during recharging.
If we couple it with SOTM, SANCAK-30 RCWS (SANCAK's VENOM LR variant exhibited on PARS 4x4 during IDEF2023) we could have a very agile and dependable...
ALBATROS-S has been a demonstrator of ASELSAN's autonomous capabilities for USVs. The final form of ALBATROS Kamikaze will probably be around something like this (Scaled model from IDEF2023)
The boat part of it wouldn't cost much but I am sure building all those autonomous capabilities weren't cheap. We will probably see a drop-off in unit prices as the thing gets into mass production.
I'll start with the newest piece of work from today: some of the missiles developed by Turkiye (Arty Rockets, Ballistic Missiles, AAMs, SAMs and Cruise Missiles)
