    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    Guys, just because they're testing it on an Anka A/B doesn't mean it won't be applied to Anka-S. These photos might even be from before Anka-S had its first flight. My guess is it will be like the TB2 - even though the original orders didn't ask for combat capability because it wasn't developed...

    The Fight against PKK Terrorism

    Thanks for the correction. In the strike footage I could only see one tower so I guess they must have struck multiple transmission HQs.

    The Fight against PKK Terrorism

    You can see the destroyed radio tower still standing in the background. This is just rat propaganda, an old video reposted to make themselves look less like the disposable pawns they actually are.

    The Fight against PKK Terrorism

    TSK hit PKK/YPG in NE Syria. PKK says 18 killed and called it a "cowardly" attack (lol) so probably at least 50 killed.

    There's no such thing as a MPT76 Mk2. The rifle you're talking about was called the Mehmetcik-1. The MPT76 was designed by Kale, not MKEK.

    That's why they would put something similar to AHEAD on the railgun projectile too.

    Turkish Directed Energy Weapons

    It's similar to Korkut - muzzle velocity is around 1000m/s, max range 4km, shell flight time would be about 6 seconds (due to drag). They can calculate where the aircraft will be and shoot at that, though ofcourse at that range it's less effective as the target can change course. I think...

    Turkish Directed Energy Weapons

    http://www.raytheon.com/news/feature/rms14_precision_projectile.html As to hitting a target from shorter distances - depends on what kind of target it is. If an airplane, yes, probably 1/20th that range is more realistic. If fixed land target, 300km is realistic.

    Turkish Directed Energy Weapons

    Who said it can hit an aircraft at 300km? 300km would be the land attack range. The other stuff you said about electronics not being able to withstand 255G is not true either. Guided artillery shells exist which can handle MUCH more than 255G. Excalibur can withstand 15,000G.

    That Harpoon launcher isn't a VLS, and isn't what he's referring to. Less talking, more reading, Hurshid.
