Bayraktar KIZILELMA made an unprecedented achievement in global aviation history by striking its target with a BVR air-to-air missile. 🔥

The target was destroyed with a direct hit and the mission was completed with a 100% success rate.

We'll see if https://www.twz.com/ reports on it. This site appears to undergo censorship when it comes to Turkish achievements.

They actually only reported very briefly and very late on the first takeoff and landing of the TP3, and instead reported in detail on the American counterparts.

And does anyone still want F-35 ?

In the defense industry, it is a must to think about defensive weapons when a groundbreaking offensive weapon is being developed and its operations are carried out.

The question is: how can one defend against KIZILELMA?

It is an average Round Trip Time latency in satellite communications and not specific to Kızılelma. 100ms RTT is for landlines I believe. I am not sure if the Uluğbey satellite constellation at 510 km altitude will have a better latency, and perhaps it will if the 2 second delay is on the 36000 km geostationery orbit satellites.

I checked the Starlink latency numbers and they are at around 50 ms. If Uluğbey is at 50 ms delay then Kızılelma's prize will have to go up quite a bit. By the way you can't take state of the art latency numbers for granted as they will not sell it to anyone to use in the military.

You are off by a factor of 10X.

A +2 second latency would put the sattelite on the moon at about 1-lightsecond distance (it varies between 360-405 kkm).

For a geostationary satellite at 36,000 km, the signal delay is about 240 milliseconds round-trip. You can add a few 10's of milliseconds due to processing. Which will put it below 300ms, this is barely playable latency when you play online real-time games but not the end of the world when you engage BVR.

KE fired an A2A missile and hit it’s target!


You know these missiles are accurate. A lot of work has been put into this for more than a decade.

And So is the AESA sensor and the whole fire control architecture.

The validation of missile, electronics and the platform working together in a perfect harmony to deliver an effect at this level after all these decades of foundational work from Aselsan and Tubitak (and now Baykar) would certainly enlighten Turkish defence enthusiasts at home and abroad. Specially if you are an old timer following this for a while.

Theoratically, very few countries in the world has the technical capabilities to do it. And practically speaking it is only USA, PRC and Turkiye. Others (including some European defence giants) doesn't even have the necessary platform and system integration right now.

Future is here and Baykar leads the way. Great way to start a sunday.


Yes!
then have fun with a failed airplane. Don't forget to let the American know before you take off.

Power electronics do not work at the speed of light.
