IMHO just long range ballistic missiles are not enough.

Ukraine -Russia war shows that you can't destroy a bridge from MLRS.

We need also rockets with larger warheads and reduced rocket fuels.

İmagine as if 122mm,227mm and 300mm rockets were with doubled warheads. They would be totally destructive against buildings, bases, power plants, bridges etc...

Kinda Tochka-U which can deliver 500kg warhead but more precisely guided.


Air defense systems would be less effective against them.

They could be also launched from some aircrafts/fighters/bombers.

For instance 300mm Tiger Guided rocket's weight 660kg while warhead is 160kg . if the rocket were launched from aircraft, doubled 320kg warhead wouldnt reduce 100km range.

İt would be kinda IAI Rampage missile.



Recall that MGM-140 that Ukraine is begging can deliver up to 500kg warhead

Mr Okumuş: "The ramjet Gokhan BVR missile which will be used in both F16 and MMU will be superior to its counterparts"

Thanks Mr. Kaner Kurt

Did he said when it will be unveiled?

View attachment 47393

Kuzgun-KY seems to have lost a lot of weight since the last official numbers. Before this it was at around 100kg per missile now we are under 75kg pushing it into Spike NLOS territory with longer range 25km vs 40km. (6th gen NLOS has 50km but not yet in production)

Could we possible see Kuzgun-KY equipped with an MMW Seeker used on ATAK-2 with MILDAR?

Or Land Vehicles equipped with 6-8 Kuzgun-KY picking off armored targets from 40km away?

Many possibilities await TSK the next few years. Kuzgun being only one of them.

Formally, If your land vehicle doesn't have an altitude of 20000 feet and a speed of 0.2 mach at the time of firing the missile, unfortunately, it cannot be what you say.

Kuzgun KY is not an Spike NLOS counterpart, but maybe a Brimstone.

Spike NLOS has large wings to increase loiter time and gliding range. Also it has a slower burning rocket engine that pushes the missile to a long range with lower speed. Due to Kuzgun KYs small wings , its maneuvrability on slower speeds would be dramaticaly worse compared to Spike NLOS. For LOAL-target update-TOO like usages, a slower missile with longer loiter time is required.

Kuzgun KY now is a kind of anti tank missile. It is a NLOS missile but doesnt have a loitering ability cause it is really fast when we compare to well-known anti tank missiles.

On the other hand, when I see lower than 60 minutes for TJ variant, a Delilah like missile came to my mind.
