TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

[Turko]

Flag of Turkey Testing activities started today at Sinop MSB Shooting Range

• Tests will run until April 18
• Shots will be made day and night, from land to sea, west-east direction.
• Length of the marked area ~ 103km

All this makes you think of rocket/missile tests with a range of less than 100 km.

So could it be Medium Range Anti-Ship missile?

The vertical limit for the tests is ~48kms (160k feet) This is probably A-A missiles or air defense missiles. Other possibilities include artillery missiles and a sounding rocket for the space program or the combination of all the things written above. The tests will continue for 8 days. It is nearly certain that multiple tests will be conducted.

Maybe shadowed by rocket science but what is with that underwater casing on that camera?

Protection of the camera and 3/8 thread adapter for the suction mount, i would presume.. also nice tactile button extensions which would be useful for gloved operation of the camera ..

SMART PNEUMATIC QUAD RACK
Smart Racks are essential units that enable the integration and employment of guided munitions on fighter aircrafts. Aselsan's quad rack has capability of carrying 4 Miniature Bombs (MB). Two quad packs can hit 8 different targets in one sortie.

Finally

We will see Gökdogan BVR missile trials in following days as well. These are strategic ame changer missile systems. I hope Tübitak SAGE will present Akdogan missiles in IDEF21.

This is it! Ozgurluk in the skies is the ultimate flex!

This is huge. One of the hardest missile to develop if not hardest. Congrats to Tübitak

Akinci is waiting these missiles

Does Bozdogan have datalink? Or it is just in Gokdogan?

If it didn't have datalink , there wouldn't be any difference from Stinger/Sungur missiles. I think it does have %100.

I am looking forward to seeing ground launched Bozdoğan SAMs.

They haven't listed it on their website for Bozdogan, so likely no datalink for the current block. AIM9x didn't have datalink either on first block.

In the video you can see the feed from the missile approaching its target from 0:55.

This doesn't mean it will have datalink. It's a test missile, so they would have integrated a link to relay information so that the engineers can asses its flight and seeker performance.
