Anti ship ballistic missile with a seeker

Fantastic hit.

If it has a data link, a KAAN might track an enemy ship at 200 miles away and guide this fast flying beast to the Terminal stage and swiftly leave the danger zone. A kill chain executed within minutes.

The perfect weapon against Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers.

Do you know whether the target has to be stationary, or can it still be hit if it’s travelling at 15–25 knots?

Since all fleet operations has to be conducted on move (except maybe landing operations), I assume it must be while the vessel is moving.

Maneuvering to hit a moving ship while flying at hypersonic speeds. So we have now surpassed the level of a ballistic missile that hits a stationary target with pinpoint accuracy (zero deviation).

But we don’t see any movement of the ship. No trail footage..

Bro, fantastic news that they are working on an anti ship ballistic missile. But don’t get too enthusiastic yet.
1. The target was not moving.
2. Have they confirmed the terminal speed to be hypersonic?
3. Did the missile contain explosives?

1. it is a different cattle of fish to hit a moving target. That will come in time. This probably was GOLIS impact.
2. & 3. If the terminal speed was hypersonic, The impact video is awesome. It does look like a very high speed impact.
If the terminal speed was hypersonic, how did they achieve it?

Our dreams are starting to become reality!

This could be just the first test or just to verify the sensor. Doubtful roketsan or ssb would make promises it cant keep.

 

[Pokemonte13]

Overall good achievement this also helps in the development in the supersonic ashm

Even if ships move 200-300 meters after the ballistic missile is first launched, the resulting deflection nullifies the destructive effect of the ballistic missile. Here, the chosen target was a small boat. This means the boat would be much faster than a warship. Therefore, the maneuver performed in response to the updated target will also need to adapt accordingly.

Roketsan say moving target,

Bro, imho the speed at moment of Impact looks like around Mach 3.

Whether the trawler is moving or not if Roketsan say it is a moving target I believe this capability is achieved.

NATO'da Bir İlk: TAYFUN BLOK 3 Gemiyi Vurdu | SavunmaSanayiST

ROKETSAN'ın TAYFUN BLOK-3 Balistik Füzesi, Karadeniz'deki testte seyir halindeki deniz hedefini ilk atışta tam isabetle vurdu.

www.savunmasanayist.com

According to this article they are saying :
The missile, which reached hypersonic speeds during the terminal phase, destroyed a highly maneuverable, small-sized surface target by striking it directly.
This success that TAYFUN BLOK 3 has demonstrated against mobile surface platforms,

This is contradictory to what we are seeing. That boat is not moving. It is definitely stationary. (Come to think about it, have we ever seen Atmaca hitting a ship or similar target moving at any speed?)

If they are distorting or twisting the truth with their moving target impact, I wonder how truthful they are being with the hypersonic speeds at terminal phase. (Mind you, during initial part of the terminal phase, until 15000 m altitude the missile is most likely at hypersonic speeds.)
If they are restarting engine at terminal phase to give them hypersonic impact, even for a few seconds, that is some technical feat of achievement.

 

[Zafer]

I wonder if anyone will dare to test if Roketsan is telling the truth about hitting a moving sea target.

 

[fushkee]

I think the target changed it’s location after the first launch of Tayfun and stayed still during hit.

In fact, instead of “moving target”, “moved target” is more accurate term.

 

[Pokemonte13]

lets not get ahead of us this may just be the first test of many.
But overall precision is still good also is it just me or does the missile explode just before it strikes the ship.

We solved the problem,clutter effect of sea surface against RF signals.

First of all, this cannot be first test, a real explosive warhead was used. Noone throw a missile with such a warhead in the first test

- In terms of moving target, I think it does not necessarily mean cruising here. There is no trailing seafoam, however in the middle of the sea, such a boat can float around, albeit very small moving

- It is clearly seen, missile is intact, warhead is not seperated. It may affect the range (there are a lot of factors can effect range btw, not just this one), but fins are there, it means missile can make corrections.

- That is to say, lets say a target traveling at 10 knots moves at approximately 5 meters per second, covering about 100 meters in 20 seconds. A fast warship traveling at 30 knots, moves about 300 meters in 20 seconds. So, with a terminal seeker and sufficient correction, this amount of displacement can be compensated for and 100 metres of a target can be hit, even moving

- Seeker however, is the most mysterious part. How they achieved that, is beyond me

This is a crown achievement of Roketsan. The test marks a very serious deterrence threshold for our country. It represents far more than simply "hitting a target", It demonstrates a land-based anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capability against naval forces. That is not something an adversary can afford to ignore, also have the potential of "changing the calculation" of those who have the bad intention towards us.

In today’s test, a small 7-meter boat(probably composite) was deliberately selected as the target. It is very difficult for the seeker head to distinguish this small boat from the sea surface due to sea clutter and a much smaller RCS. The target was moving in a free-drifting manner. Because the target’s radar signature was small, the seeker likely detected it much later than it would have a 100+-meter frigate or a 300-meter aircraft carrier. Despite this, it struck the target with perfect accuracy. I am confident that if the target had been a 100+ meter frigate or an aircraft carrier, it would have been able to hit the target much more easily, even if the target moved at high speed.
