Why especially shoulder launcher of CIRIT? Shoulder launched Karaok and OMTAS aren't enough?
AFAIK first ignition of MANPADS / shoulder launched ATGMis reduced in order not to burn the operator ( also it would cause a fire in the warship)from backfire

I thought cirit would be interesting due to it’s smaller diameter and weight. Having multiple launcher tubes with similar or slightly shorter range would enable the crew to man and use them quickly.
And I believe they are cheaper in production.

I still want a sideway proximity fuse for CİRİT to allow C-UAS engagements against fixed wings which fly almost as slow as helicopters. Totally cheaper than SUNGUR like you said. You know, I should work on an offshot concept like that sometime.

Existing multiple Cirit launchers are anything but small tho.

Cirit is not a small missile, nearly 2 meters long and each missile weighs 15kg. A man portable double Cirit launcher would weigh at least 40-50 kilos. Cirit was never designed to be man portable. A Karaok for example weighs 16 kilos with its launcher.

On a tangent to prove the point, can anyone find the at least 10 year old photo of a Cirit pedestal mount on a mountain base with a soldier posing with it? Looks scrubbed from the net.

Edit, found it. At least 12 year old photo.

Could you please draw Canik venom LR ( barrel should have velocity +smart ammunition sensor) top of the GÖKSUR launcher. Please I will appreciate all my life

At least you could Photoshop it for us.

VENOM LR will fire proximity ammo which doesn't need a programming device on barrel. For GÖKSUR part, it would rather be a whole new design.

I wonder what is the range of proximity fuse. How many meters before the target could it detect?
I don't like proximity fuse system( eğer doğru biliyorsam yaklaşma tapası demek proximity fuse), korkut/Millenium gun timing fuse system is superior. You cant create a steal/ tungsten wall around your ship with proximity fuse.

Aselsan could create new smart ammunition from 35mm ATOM projectile. Shorter brass , low recoil and velocity with the same 35 mm ATOM projectile. Range would be shorter.

On the other hand Again 30x113 ATOM would be great.

 

[Kaan Azman]

Its a case of balancing things. Proximity is a good idea as it would be easier to produce in the big picture due to its simplicity. I certainly would like a VENOM LR with ATOM for dedicated C-UAS though.

35 mm ATOM has been rad as the rounds have long range and larger space for tungsten pieces

Pirireis provisional delivery delayed again, to Feb 2024.

Have TCG Pirireis entered officially in Service ?

Checking open sources, nope… building of the other vessels are continuing but if the original 62 months building to delivery timeframe for each vessel is still valid, Pirireis is behind the schedule by 6 months from revised delivery timeframe and about 3-4 years behind schedule from original timeframe, which also included external delays from Germany.
