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)
Felt like opening a new thread so that people can share their concept arts or infographics without stuff getting lost in other threads.
In a nutshell, concept arts and infographics archive for the forum.
But it is a surface launched one. Loitering missiles have some meaning for surface application as they can loiter around a sector, standing by for any pop up threat. I haven't got much idea on why would they want to make a loitering AAM. But as I said before, it can take down UCAVs, large...
Mostly unspoken confugurations, payloads and applications for SÜPER ŞİMŞEK.
Air to Air seems questionable regarding cost efficency but can work as an element of surprise against helicopters (You get the hint eh?) and slow flying aircraft (UAVs, and Tankers) thanks to long range, cruising...
Florida??? Then today in Florida Man:
Florida Man responsible for OIR twitter account threatens Turkiye, forced to delete tweet after State Department intervenes.
(Find some silly florida man pic so that I can put it here)
Coalition has deleted the statement threatening Turkiye over the strikes on YPG.
Let's leave this here so that others who didn't see can take a look at the level of idiocy here.
Importance of UAV oriented stand-off munitions like KEMANKEŞ, KUZGUN TJ, İHA-230 and ÇAKIR should be emphasized. Even MİT wants ÇAKIR missiles for its fleet of AKINCI UCAVs.
