What's new

Turkish Missile Programs

But why congratulate, isn't that suspicious?

---

Now let us back track, what was the guesstimated range of bora? 800 km? We know SOM cruise missile versions should reach 2500 km. But to add to the confusion look what someone put on Wikipedia:

Damn you whoever did that, I will never have peace in my head again.

Anywho, the truck supposedly used to transport the new Bora missile isn't that big so the missile can't be that big.
Looks like the range of Bora is 300km.

Using 8*8 BMC truck for a missile which has range 300 km is nonsense. We dont know the real range.
 

Article simply says Turkey can't buy missiles with greater range than 300 and can't buy the required technology for aforsaid missiles with that range because of MTCR. But we didn't buy anything like that, based on Yıldırıms we developed it to a greater range. With some help from outside under the table? Probably yes, doesn't matter who, Pakistan, China or Cambodia but the fact is nobody will tell it. So unless SSM make an official announcement everything we assume here will be nothing but bla-bla-bla.

But more than 300km is forbidden.

Nope. Depends.
 
Well, SOM ALCM's range is also 300km but from cabatli's posts trials show ranges as far as 500km if I recall correctly. Of course it is longer than 300km but judging by its size and width, it could be 500 to 900km or just 300km. We don't know the warhead type right? Lets just give some time to our engineers.
 
That article says no such thing. And there's no such thing as a "Laser GPS".

I don't know about the rest, but there is guidance kit that has both Laser and GPS integrated.

Turkish Aselsan produces Laser and Fiber Optic Gyros for INS which can be used for missile guidance. It seems to be a misunderstanding in Aydinlik. On the other hand many so called experts claimed BORA to be a wide range AD system. Habertürk defence editor G.S made himself ridicilous and was topic of Palavra Detektör.
 
MTCR is obsolete. Poland received JASSM-ER missiles from the USA with 1000 km range.
MTCR never restricted indigenious development but tech sales only.

The 'world wide web' rack one's brains about the range of Bora. Which one is true, 300km or 800km+?
 
It was a discussion on obsolete MTCR.
If you order and are a trustable strategic ally as Polonia is you will get them.
Maybe discret , not to provoce the bear.

Your mentioned missile exceeds 300 km limits !

AGM-158A JASSM
  • Length: 4.27 m (14 ft)
  • Wingspan: 2.4 m (7 ft 11 in)
  • Weight: 975 kg (2,150 lb)
  • Speed: Subsonic
  • Range: 370 km (230 mi)

Could be later ,

but 6.1m long missile with 1000km range ? Grimms Märchen ?
