Meanwhile Indonesian Army representatives call it KHAN 610, for ITBM 600 acquisition. Yeah, +280 on the brochure.
I was the one who indicated the diameter years ago, now i was the one who missed it.
New brochure for Barbaros Coastal Defence System.
Single battery consists of a C2 vehicle, TEL(s) and loading vehicles. C2 vehicle can optionally fitted with a coastal search radar.
I'm pretty sure the graphic in the top right is supposed to be a BMC Tuğra 8x8 TEL. Hoping to see it soon so Roketsan can get rid of Kamaz trucks.
That would be a lovely surprise indeed!
More than likely Barbaros would be given to navy and would require a different battery and training. Not that clear cut, say compared to Kara Atmaca for land targets. Don't know how advantageous Kara Atmaca be for Azerbaijan's mountainous terrain, but I'm sure it's looked at as well.
Azerbaijanis main problem is an attack from sea, thats how Russia added Azerbaijan into USSR, when Azerbaijan was indeopendent in 1918. They organized a chaos in Karabagh, when main army was send there, Russians just landded by Caspian sea directly into Baku and captured it quick without any army.
We have long wanted to purchase the Bal coast guard complexes in Russia. They refused. And all those several countries that produce such missiles refused us. Only Israel agreed, but their missiles have a short range. About 15 years ago, Israeli media wrote that Baku ordered long-range missiles from them and even paid for their development. New Gabriel-5 missiles were purchased by Azerbaijan and Estonia.
These are not that much effective in modern warfare. Runways are easy to repair. It's better to hit more critical buildings in an airbase, like planes and munitions.
JP233 was solely used against runways.
