These info presentation dont even make sense as Diehl defence doesn't have any strike products to offer and the greeks as well as the french would commit suicide before buying something from us.
Was wondering because all non turkish companies are more of a start up than real producing companies. Would have given our companies most of the value but these are just national contracts and have more or less nothing to do with nato.
Though i would agree on buying two squadrons of F35 would be usefull delivery time is currently very long. Even the cost per airframe wouldn't be that high compared to other jets and it would some what reduce the edge the israelis have over us
Any idea what kind of seeker they used RF or iir?
These weapons will be a game changer for engaging enemy air defence system. During the iran/US war iranian successfully engaged enemy sam system with their relative poor accuracy. With this pin point accuracy and some maneuvers and high terminal...
lets not get ahead of us this may just be the first test of many.
But overall precision is still good also is it just me or does the missile explode just before it strikes the ship.
Atom is more or less a time fuze the difference is that it is programmed once it leaves the barrel. Maybe it has like fixed time fuzes for different ranges (250m 500m 750m ...)and the rounds are programmed before being fired like in the belt.
I would like to know what the 20mm munition is because it looks like it detonates close to the target but i dont see any device at the muzzle for programming. Maybe proximity but that would make it more expensive that atom
