TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

[TheInsider]

If you triple the warhead weight, you won't triple the explosion radius; it doesn't work like that. Also, if you double the warhead weight, either the range of the missile is reduced by a lot, or you need to increase the weight of the missile a lot to carry a heavier warhead to the same distance.

Compared to other 2000Lbs bombs, is GAZAP more efficient than the others?

With KGK84 guidance kit Hayalet Nebs and Gazap will have 100 km range.

Hayalet is a bunker buster penetrator bomb. In order to penetrate, it is dropped from 30000+ft and hits the ground at supersonic speeds (1.3 Mach). If you let it glide you won’t get the penetrating power.

 

[Zafer]

To double the diameter of the affected ground space you need to increase the explosive charge by 8 times which will increase the missile weight by 8 times considering the same explosive fraction.

This is all because your explosion happens in a three dimensional manner spreading your effect not only sideways but also up and down. So you want to use like 3 or 4 of the smaller explosives rather than one double size ground coverage one. Sketch made by Zafer.
