Turkish Missile Programs

One of IDEF'17 attendees on another forum asked Roketsan official why only a quadpack launcher. Official replied that it was due to weight constraints, lesser the weight further and longer aerial platforms could fly. When asked why ground launched versions were also quadpack, official replied for commonality between platforms.

Thanks and I'm pretty sure... it's also to spare some money in manufacturing variants. since you will need a dedicated line to maintain for the 6M...
Anyway Hope w'll see one in the future...

The weight thing makes no sense to me. A Hydra 70 is not much lighter than a Cirit yet the ATAK carries 19 of them in a pod on a single hardpoint whereas only 4x Cirit can be carried on the same hardpoint if using the smart launcher.

I think Some actions regarding revealing the availability of 1000+km ballistic missile has been done. I hope SSM gave permission to do it. Muharrem ELÇi who is one of manager of Adalar Makine working for Roketsan, announced this on twitter.

Hardpoint capacity isn't the issue, ATAK can carry heavier loads.. The issue is the performance impact weight has on aircraft (esp helicopters).

This chart represents limits specific mission loadouts have on AH-64A.. I imagine T-129 has similar performance limits.

Also something I learned a while back, our T-129 do not use Hydra70 they use FFAR rockets. We don't have license to produce Hydra70.

I really wonder what is the ℅ that a t129 used all that 4 cirits. I dontbthink it is even 1.

Selling to Germany would really be an door opener not only for CIRIT but for all Roketsan projects.

Electronic attacks or jamming can affect UMTAS ?

Nasil yani ya? How could they fit a thermobaric warhead inside a tiny 70mm-diameter rocket? Don't thermobaric bombs require tons of compressed fuel/oxygen?
