TRG230 fired from Akinci

[Ali_Baba]

With 6xTRG-UAV, a military convoy moving in an area of 60 meters by 300+ meters can be hit from 80+km away within 60-70 seconds after laser marking. I said 6, bcs 6 trg-230-iha can be easilly carried in a single sortie with AKINCI. The advantage of artillery rockets over cruise missiles is not only their speed, but also the fact that they are much cheaper types of ordnances. Making them air-lauchable could become a very difficult problem for the opposing force to overcome.

The problem (of sorts ) is that the Akinci is a large platform (almost as large as a fighter jet) and therefore has a high radar signature compared to TB2. This signature makes it more vulnerable to SAM systems than the TB2 ( which by value of its smaller size, has a smaller RCS and therefore can operate closer the theatre ).

By is nature - these Akinci will find it difficult to evade modern SAM system. Of course, this can be offset with even longer range missiles, and also composites in the airframe(may be they have).

"To me" - the best advantage is it persistence value to maintain a monitoring presence over a given area using its advanced radars, and sensors and offers an effective way of not having loiter time defined by human resilience for monitoring activities.

Akinci with sideways ( or directable noise mounted ) AESA rada offers a fantastic increase in capability or monitoring of aircraft, SAR capabilities and maritime monitoring in a network centric warfare platform with it nodal capabilities.

Early days - and people will refine what works and does not work as they explore new concepts etc. We are witnessing the era of the start of drone warfare now.

never even knew ROKETSAN was working on a supersonic missile

guess it will be a even bigger surprise for a enemy warship

Also
since 2011 , Roketsan is working on RAMJET powered supersonic cruise Missile with speed of up to mach 3

TUBITAK-SAGE also develop RAMJET powered supersonic Cruise Missile

soon we will see RAMJET powered supersonic anti-ship Missile
also Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile based on TAYFUN Ballistic Missile

now ROKETSAN has 40 new missile projects which will be nice surprise for enemy Forces

their weak countries can not change anything in the Eastern Mediterranean

There is an assignment that we expect together from Kızılelma and Akıncı platforms. And that is that our F16s will be replaced to (KE+Akıncı) as soon as possible. That's why we're advancing these two programs as quickly as possible. As soon as Kızılelma can do air-to-air combat, that is, after 1 year, we will be able to say goodbye to our F16 fleet in peace of mind, if necessary.

You have to look at what's going on from this perspective. Probably the USA will not sell us any F16 and any fighter. We know very well this fact and we are preparing for this situation.

Let me tell you the next upgrade for Akıncı, so don't be surprised when you hear it. Air defense missiles and radars will be integrated into Akıncı. Akıncı will not only be a flying artillery rocket battery, but also a flying air defense battery.

I think we will also change Akıncı's engines gradually. They will be equipped with turboprop engines derived from TEI TS-1400.

Aren't you emotional,aggressive,sarcastic and touchy too? And the Arabs? And the Yahood? Basically the whole southeast Europe?

You allways calling other nation like your president but No one will help you because of your byzantine games. Today very far away from medieval times which crusaders attack muslims because of their perverse obsessions with the provocation of the papacy and greeks.

I ll be honnest to you because we doesnt know how to do belly dance so if greece try to annoying and aggresive against Turkiye end of the day greece will be alone and will face greywolf.

I m telling you no one will protect greece! Thats why dont be sily and get along with Turks.

Get along with a government that says "We'll come one night suddenly" and "we'll throw you to the sea" and "disarm or we the islands are up for grabs"....who can do that?

Absolutely not. The best KE could do is fire a couple of Gökdoğans and retreat. It can't stay in the fight like an F16.

We can't "say goodbye" to the F16 until we get the TFX

Foinikas.. is a like a baby monkey, that cries FOUL at every opportunity it gets.

She doesn't like the words "Gayreece" to be used on the forum, and reports every post that has words "Gayreece" written at every chance she gets.

This Yunan is very sensitive... she ruins the forums atmosphere and entertainment.

This can be very effective against the Small navy fleets but a naval fleet with half a decent air coverage will not allow Akinci to get within 100km range to target the fleet.
IMHO Akinci is a huge UCAV already
Then loaded externally with these rockets It's going to be detected by Radars very easily especially in Ocean.

But It's not going to work alone
It can significantly increase the firepower of Turkish Navy in Ocean
But saying that only 6-10 Akinci loaded with These rockets can alone wreck havoc on the enemy Naval fleet is not a logical thinking
Another aspect is that by having this set up over Ocean in peacetime can significantly increase the effective surveillance of Turkish Sea bounderies.
Or if Turks want to play some jolly molly with Greeks in Ocean, again a very cost effective platform to do this.

Don't say it won't happen, In the atmosphere of war, anything can happen. Don't be fooled by Holywood technology of Far West Guys.

AKINCI's supersonic missile tests continues.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1641889802055307271

Air-ground munitions being fired from Akıncı are being tested for their ability to engage 140 km away at supersonic speed. The IHA-230 is basically a missile type derived from the TRLG-230 MRLS type missile with pinpoint hit capability and high destructive power.
