Rutte said tens of billions worth of new contracts will be announced tomorrow. Do you think we need a thread for the summit? It's kind of a defence fair.
@TheInsider Is it possible for us to see Kaan P1 flying before the NATO summit ends? If you know anything that we shouldn't know, please keep it to yourself. All I want to know is if it's off the table or not.
There's one thing I want to know why. Skyranger has 1×1000. Gökdeniz has 2×550. Göker is also single barrel. What's the reason behind 1000-1200 rpm numbers? Why not 2×1000?
Thanks for the information. With the reframing of my -now better- ballistic knowledge, my point stays the same. Such a weapon system could be useful to surpass advanced ABM systems. It's good to have, if we really have it, of course.
So a ballistic missile always depletes its fuel, independent of the distance to the target. And still it will have higher terminal velocity because of the approach pattern. Do I get it right?
Not that I think it happened that way but talking about the possibilities to why:
1) Money (because why not)
2) we do not and will not be a threat to China.
3) not blocking the way in their goals in Africa in exchange.
4) if a full scale Pakistan-India war starts, us having enough range is...
A ballistic missile with 3000km range can only hit its targets at low-mid-supersonic speeds because its engines will be shut off mid flight. A 6000km range ballistic missile can still have enough fuel allowing it to be high-supersonic or low-hypersonic in the terminal phase for the same range...
I think we can all relate to Güçhan but YıldırımHan is more of a question mark for me.
If 1) they got know-how from Roketsan and Delta-V
2) they have engineers from those companies
3) it is being worked on since Yıldırım projects started.
That could be something real. No need to mention these...
