TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

Sadak 2T (110kg , 388kg fully loaded)
Sadak 4T (175kg , 731kg fully loaded)

Sadak 4T is carried under the belly of Akinci, as it can’t carry that load on wings.
Akinci has around 950kg payload capacity to carry externally. I doubt if it can manage 2 x Sadak 2T on wings as well.

As with different engines, Akinci has different payload capacities. But even with the 2 x PT6 engines giving 2 x 850HP power, it has a maximum of 1500kg payload capacity, 400kg of it being for internal. It has also be remembered that the wing structure can manage lower weight handling than it’s belly.

I checked the brochure right after I wrote the comment and you're right it would be really hard, if not outright impossible as I didn't think 1500 kg would also include internal load.

139kg per the brochure.

They give all these different weights to confuse us.
In another document it says Tolun’s weight is 135kg.
But in IIR form it says it weighs 120kg.
So since this is a missile under development and progress, one can expect a weight variation of +/- few kg. (Fuel, explosives, seeker type and use of composites all contribute to final weight)

It can also be used against moving targets at sea.

How so?

 

[Anmdt]

How so?

I think this one would be valid for IIR or, if available IR seeker version.

I think this one would be valid for IIR or, if available IR seeker version.

Which reminds me, Tolun IIR was first shown and its range was announced in april 2023 and we were told firing tests would start in 2024. We are yet to see any videos for it, which should happen in the following months.

Some of you were talking about it.

We were talking about it because of this exact video mate

ROKETSAN ALPAGUT was detected.

ROKETSAN ALPAGUT was detected.

I think it’s equipped with an RF seeker

ROKETSAN ALPAGUT was detected.

Where? There is no Alpagut in the video?

 

[Strong AI]

ROKETSAN ALPAGUT

And STM

By the way, this video below from STM was five years ago (ALPAGUT has swarm capability too). I can't imagine how advanced the software has to be by now.

Never mind, I'm blind.

 

[Strong AI]

That's not Alpagut, that's Teber guidance kit.

This is Alpagut:

This is Teber:

It even says Teber in the video.

Bro look at the middle one.

 

[boredaf]

Bro look at the middle one.

Well, fuck me, it is upside down. But that looks like they made some changes from the last time it was seen. Also interesting it is there but they didn't show it firing on the video.

 

[Sanchez]

That is one ugly stick.

Türkiye's enemies like it ugly

Türkiye's enemies like it ugly

If Alpagut works as it Roketsan and STM claims, it'll get really ugly for our enemies that's for sure. This is the one project I've been waiting for with bated breath. Light enough to be carried by all our drones, but with a warhead heavier than a Hellfire missile and with a range more than double what our drones can use now.

This is my favorite project of all the loitering munition/smart munition projects.
