TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

[Agha Sher]

Why all this skepticism patriots.

Not scepticism. A SR1.0 launch would be great. However, things indicate they are keeping something even better secret.

SR1.0 was scheduled for late 2023 as of spring 2023. Timing wise it does not indicate to be SR1.0 either

Could be just the rocket motor as well.
Or just a cat, who knows.

My bad blacksea is the most isolated area in the world especially nowadays perfect spot for secretive balistic missile tests, it was night and dark so nobody could sea it! Or our space program is not just a cover and we realy need initially MSLS and damn Micro satellites. Whatever the name was it was a space cat or a relative of the space cat.

Turning to mockery after running out of arguments. classic.

Most isolated or most spotted?

Speculation mode on:
What if the entire moon landing program is just a ruse to test longer range ballistic missiles?
Or maybe its both?

Without WMD warheads, Balistic missiles with longer range than MRBM (3000km) does not make that much strategic sense. (Chenk already fills the role of MRBM. In the future there could be more advanced version of that with 2000-2500km ranges)

Btw, this is not just my random opinion. It is accepted (more or less) as conventional wisdom.

We have already fired our 561 km rocket and we even bragged about it, we don't need to disguise our rockets. We can not afford to lose time in our space launch efforts as we progress in other fields we have to complement them with space systems that can not be provided by third parties.

For longer range Turkiye can lunch rockets from Igneada to Van lake .
What do you think?
The missile dont pass closse to major cities to cause risky concerns only to small ones . Aslo the range is 1300km + Turkiye aslo can use safe altitude inside borders for test for longer range

Any civilian residential area=no-go

 

[BalkanTurk90]

Any civilian residential area=no-go

Why ? The missile tests will be with no real warheads . Aslo the civilian airplanes are everywhere , they aslo are very risky for people in ground but no one stops them?!
I dont see any big risky that to stop those tests even if missile breaks down then probability is very small to hit the house or other objects of people just same as airplanes .

Iaw ?

Iaw ?

More like common sense.

Developing and testing 1000+ km range ballistic missiles just for the sake of it is a big red flag. Might as well shout from the rooftops: WE ARE DEVELOPING NUCLEAR TIPPED ICBM'S!!!
Developing missiles for space launch efforts are both a convenient excuse and a fruitful endeavor.

Do you have no common sense in your head? Flying a borderline experimental heap of metal weighing hundreds of kgs over settlements is something only an utter moron would do.

Isn't it obvious that space travel and ballistic missiles goes hand in hand for all countries?

When the day comes, Turkey will build a launch platform in Somalia (less likely) / Indonesia / Malaysia or thereabouts. Simple physics demands your launchpad to be close to the equator and simple geography demands sea to the east of said launchpad.

Politics also demands that it to be a stable country with good relation to Turkey so it will take one or two dacades before we are there.

Not so much as it used to be. Multiple warheads can be fitted into the tip and can target multiple targets with precision, so a 3000 km range rocket can still make sense with classical explosives.

A spaceport that consists of floating and land-based elements may be ideal. In Somalia a location with a port can be used for launch and ships can bring in critical elements like the rocket and fuel before a launch making the vulnerability of assets o threats minimal.

The relevant minister said that we will make a soft landing on the Moon. The budget of the Turkish Space Agency is 59 million dollars. For the sake of comparison, NASA's 2023 budget is $25.5 billion, while the European Space Agency, which has no intention of going to the Moon, ESA's budget is $7.2 billion. We all know that the issue here is not science. It's about glamorizing, it's about selling dreams."

What are you saying?
You don't find the space program of Türkiye realistic or what.

Going to the Moon by crash landing a piece of equipment on the Moon is a lot cheaper than sending a man to the Moon's surface. The soft landing will come in the next step after the crash landing.

I am just translated the article. Fatih Altaylı's opinion.
