The ECS of the MURAD AESA radar, which was previously subject to embargo, was localized by

.The system operates with 28VDC power and has a maximum power consumption of 350W.

anyone know why USG or Lockheed is OK with this Ozghur Upgrade? As far as I know there is EUM verification

That 4.5 KW Cooling capacity is important as it shows the limit of possible radar's Average emitted power. From the available images of the antenna and TRM count. That cooling capacity will limit Murad's average emitted power to 1022 Watt or 1 KW.

Because there is always a limit to how far you can push a country to the wall. When that limit is crossed, the make believe rant on the treason of buying the S-400 will suddenly become a child's play. Everything in it is "known" and within reason. Let people think they are özgür/free, do not push them to be so for real.

Thanks for the estimates

EDIT: By the way, the radar itself is called MURAD-100A.

It may not be an official document but it still does a decent job at giving you an idea.

Very close to the figures I got in IDEF, they told me around 50 to 60nm for engaging (I guess this corresponds to PD90) 1m² target.

Also said targeting data for 8 aerial and/or? 6 naval/land targets. Radar is also capable of performing EW, I guess this was written in ASELSAN advertisement so no need to go there

@stealthflanker I guess your calculations are very good and helpful


There is also the possibility of 4.5kW being the average cooling capacity, but F-16 can supply 5kW at max so I don't think that 4.5kW is average

Up to 4.5 KW so that is max figure

Part of the Ozgur programme, development of AA missiles. Another footage of Gokdogan BVR missile was released yesterday

"Our first domestic and national air-to-air missile #GÖKDOĞAN hit the target accurately during the firing test activities conducted together with our Air Forces Command.

We would like to express our gratitude to all our stakeholders who contributed to this proud success."
