In a real world firing, a standard anti-ship ballistic missile uses a multi-stage guidance process: During mid-course it would be guided by inertial navigation by satellite updates to reach the general area of the target.Then the on board radar or IR seekers or both take over for terminal...

You misunderstood I think. I was elaborating and guessing over @Anmdt ’s post regarding the guidance. My line of thought was that if the boat was free and was drifting with current, it would be doing that within a specific drift pattern and either the missile’s guidance or another source...

If the target wasn’t anchored, it would be free to move if there were surface currents. According to naval info, normal rim currents in Black Sea varies from 0.2m/sec to 0.5m/sec. We don’t know the range of flight of this test. But if it were ~560km as per first Tayfun test, the flight time...

No one can question the hypersonic speed with which this missile travels during it‘s midcourse. Infact all of the Tayfun blocks travel at hypersonic speeds during mid course.. For block 3 we haven’t come across anybody calling it a hypersonic weapon. (A hypersonic weapon, as well as travelling...

I am afraid I can’t agree with you . If a missile is deemed to be AShM class it has to be able to hit a vessel moving at up to 25 to 30 knots. (Most modern carriers need to have almost this speed to help with take off as well as recovery of aircraft). - There are certain tests that need close...

This is interesting ; Take an engineer’s protractor and enlarge the picture so that the missile is ~70mm and the width is ~6mm (that corresponds to ~7m length and ~60cm diameter.) Then that boat becomes nearly 12 m. Considering the fact that we are looking at it from slightly behind and at an...

According to @tyronnosurusRex the latest news on Barbaros Class MLU was that it was being extended to TCG Salih Reis (f246). As per his deductions, the 16 month work-around time per ship has been hindered due to excessive need for the use of these ships. So the important point is to find time to...

Bro, if a ship is cruising at 18Knots and a Tayfun is coming from 500km away, it will take Tayfun around 4 minutes to reach the target. During this time the ship will be 2.2 km away from original position. The ship would be moving at 9.2metres every second. At hypersonic speeds manoeuvering...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/natoda-bir-ilk-tayfun-blok-3-gemiyi-vurdu/ According to this article they are saying : The missile, which reached hypersonic speeds during the terminal phase, destroyed a highly maneuverable, small-sized surface target by striking it directly. This success that...

Bro, fantastic news that they are working on an anti ship ballistic missile. But don’t get too enthusiastic yet. 1. The target was not moving. 2. Have they confirmed the terminal speed to be hypersonic? 3. Did the missile contain explosives? 1. it is a different cattle of fish to hit a moving...

This is the type of response you would get from people who have a chip on their shoulder. It is not becoming of you. Where in @TR_123456 ’s post there is any notion of putting anybody down, or even an insinuation that Turks are more evolved than any other nation? It is a common mistake most...

One needs to look at the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. Many of the early rulers of Delhi Sultanate and the subsequent Mughal Empire rulers were fundamentally Turkic. They helped establish the Islam religion in the sub continent. In Turkish, army means Ordu. The language spoken by the Ordu...

Bro that is a logical assessment. But if we play devil’s advocate, could it be because we still could not manage to perfect Pif-Paf manoeuvring in missiles and by buying or joining a co-production cycle will help us. (Both pac3MSE and Aster30-B1NT missiles use pif-paf system. With limited TOT it...

Something most are missing is the fact that these bombs are only good if you have air superiority. Otherwise you could lose most of your air force against a country that has an intact modern AD system. Why doesn't Russian air force use their planes for bombing? Could Pakistani or Indian air...

1700 units of MK84A based HGK (Turkish version of JDAM) has been delivered to Airforce. A lot of bombs! If the overall range and manoeuvrability of plane is not to be hindered the f16 is limited to carrying 2 of these and the standard a2a missiles. This means 850 sorties worth of bombs. That is...

Very detailed article. If TurAF will go for any of the mentioned platforms however, is another matter. One platform; Embraer C390 which is a state of the art jet powered airlifter has not been mentioned. Quantity of airlift planes are never enough for an airforce. They are one of the most...

SAMPT system’s Aster 30 B1NT missile has a range of 150+ km and an operational altitude of 25+ km. It uses Pif-Paf course correction system that allows the missile to make precise and quick high G turns to be able to perform a hit to kill strike on the target whilst not being affected by decoys...

According to this paper : In June 2026, the formal notification went to Congress for more than 80 GE F110 engines, approved for Türkiye. The announcement landed days before the NATO summit, framed publicly as a gesture of alliance solidarity. This makes more sense with respect to the...
