Bro, most of the western countries use US mk41 VLS (So do Germans) . There is usually 10-12 months lead time for them to be manufactured. Even if countries are using indigenous VLS, none of them are off the shelf items. Even if the ships are in FFBNW format they still have to content with...

When a bunker buster bomb explodes underground in a “confined” space, the explosive force has 3 basic physical parameters. 1. Kinetic and thermal energy release 2. Confined space pressure release 3. Shockwave pressure release. GBU-57 has 2400kg of explosive Hayalet has 250kg of explosive So...

If you read the earlier posts of @Anmdt regarding Tepe, İstif and cost base, you will see that the cost of a ship‘s hull constitutes approximately 10-15% of a frigate’s total cost. In fact he points out that you can double the size/tonnage of an İstif hull for around 75 to 80 million dollars...

Let us not get ahead of ourselves. I have written about the bomb in question here before, which is dubbed as “hayalet”, in my previous post in below page Post number #10354 https://defencehub.live/threads/tf-x-kaan-fighter-jet.18801/page-518#post-390946 Hayalet and gbu57 are very different...

Bro, these destroyers are essentially air defence destroyers. For escort duties 1 destroyer should suffice. Two would be OK but instead of two destroyers two frigates, one ASW specialised and one general purpose with the destroyer and a submarine or two should be enough as a carrier group...

@turkizilm , you have shared a very sensitive and potentially important information. Authenticity of this information is of paramount importance. There are many thoughts and statements such that Yildirim-4 project is there as a cover story for other missiles’ development projects. If you do...

They don’t need to build a “bigger” Akinci. They just need to improve it’s structural construction and aerodynamic performance. Just look at the below difference between MQ-9 Reaper Advanced specs and Akinci-C specs. Akıncı C with its 2 x 850HP engines has the same maximum payload limit as the...

Yes.

True! Again not very good. On the surface, the content and title don’t match. But is it not the fact that Temren is actually a long range missile derived from Umtas and Lumtas? Were there really two different firings? Or was this a Temren missile’s firing? Any info on target distance? But the...

Bro, as you rightly explained; In aerospace engineering and missile design, missile holding lugs (or flush-mounted suspension lugs) must sit completely flush with the surface of the missile during its flight. In cases where the missile has protruding hooks or lugs, after launch, these are...

@Zafer , 1. No one should take that guy’s comments seriously. We have asked all our members not to share anything he says unless it is corroborated by a valid source. 2. Your comments are for what? The two ramjet missiles or 300-ER missile? If it is the former, that has nothing to do with what...

Excuse my ignorance but is it not a bit silly to say it is a 500+km range missile; then we are told it has hit a target 250+km away? Also are we all watching the same video? There is no 300-ER missile video hitting the target. Just the firing. We see an explosion where IHA122 hits the outside...

Bro, intrinsically any percentage increase statistics like that is faulty in it’s core, and generally is used to show how well you have done to people where it is not really so. A quick calculation is: Say Turkiye’s current performance is 20 units. 20% increase is 4 units. Say World average is...

How about this one? Doesn‘t that belly resemble the Gökhan and Gokbora’s ramjet air inlet system?

As far as I understand, the Akinci Drone’s maximum pay load weight is restricted to 1500kg and its MTOW is limited to 6000kg due to its structural design and it’s construction. Akinci-A with 2 x 450HP engines, Akinci-B with 2 x 750HP engines and Akinci-C with 2 x 850HP engines all have the same...

Exactly! When you buy weapon systems you pay over the odds, especially when it is clear that you need them. Add to that the current atmosphere of political and military uncertainty; it is not very feasible to pay for weapons in this climate. But when you feel desperate then you have no choice...

Good initiative. The Danish company is among the only a few that has been developing thorium based nuclear and non nuclear small modular reactors. But to date there isn’t a single commercially viable nuclear reactor in operation anywhere around the world. To date, as far as I know, only the...

Logically, if it is possible to accommodate ICBM range ballistic missiles in a submarine, it should be possible to fit a medium range anti ship ballistic missile like Tayfun Missile on a destroyer. As per @Sanchez ’s post, Chinese had originally fitted medium range YJ20 AShBMs to their 15units...

My understanding is that, square meterage of deck space is of prime value in a naval vessel. Instead of using deck space to position missiles, by using the depth available in vessels, more missiles can be accommodated. Also stationary inclined missile launchers facing one direction when the...

Aselsan’s precision guidance systems are showing off! The last moving target hit from an Akinci Drone is particularly impressive!
