Turkish Missile Programs

[-------]

Midsection propulsion is not preferred but a neccessity when you employ wire/ fiberwire guidance support into your missiles. That are TOW, Eryx and Milan with simple electric wires, Spike and MMP with Fiberoptic cables. This powering increases complexity and expenses. Both of Javelin and Kornet have aft propulsion!

Your argument does not dissuade from the advantages of having midsection propulsion, also, Kornets flight motor is midsection as it is beam riding missile just like TOW.

Also, i suggest you look up next generation of France's Air Launched ATGM 'MLP/EMM ' which is R/F data-linked with midsection propulsion.

Biggest issue I see so far with missile development is lack of research into midsection rocket propulsion, midsection propulsion allows for light weight compact missiles with excellent range and stability..

Roketsan should take TOW, ERYX, Kornet-E and Spike missiles apart piece by piece, learn and reverse engineer them for a unique midsection propulsion system..

Current propulsion system used by Roketsan elongates missile more than necessary..

This is why I am asking. Karaok looks more like a very longe range ATM. But it has only 2 km range. Missile has a to long size.

Pictures can distort sizes, it's best to compare objects by knowing the size of one of them.

If we take this image below, we can determine KaraOk is around same length as MAM-C and almost double the diameter

So, I'd guess
Diameter: *120mm
Length: *980mm

Cabatli quoted a range of 2km because that is what was written in defence magazines from official sources, it's been a while since then, so the range could have increased.. We don't know yet..

What we are looking for is writing in this table. It is very weird that people don't take photo of this table.

Is it a different project from Hisar-U ?
or GUMS was officially announced.

Deliveres of Hgk-3(82) guidance kits has began.

I don't think that SIPER is Hisar-U, maybe GUMS or SAMP/T (Eurosam)

Most probably we are talking about GUMS as the initial version of Hisar U will not be capable of intercepting ballistic missiles as far as I am following the news related to it.

@cabatli_53 Bro:
You may consider to add a sticky thread named as “Turkish Air Force Weapon Programs”. LGK, HGK and KGK fits nowhere in this format.
Kind Regards.

In English please.

In English please.

Long range air defence system(SIPER) will be ready in 2021.

T-LORAMIDS. HISAR-U. And now Siper. You like to change project names.

This system will be different from Hisar-U. It is thought to be against ballistic missiles.
