Turkey has successfully launched its Hisar-D RF surface-to-air missile from an Istanbul-class frigate using the indigenous MIDLAS Vertical Launch System for the first time. The missile is designed to defend warships against aircraft, drones, missiles, and other aerial threats. Equipped with an active radar seeker, it can track targets independently after launch, giving Turkish naval vessels a modern air-defense capability. The test is being viewed as more than just a missile launch. It marks a major step in Turkey's effort to build a fully indigenous naval combat ecosystem, joining a growing list of domestic defense programs that include drones, missiles, and next-generation warships. #turkey #navy #missiles #MissileStrike #DRDO

‼️🇺🇸 💥USS Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer | Precision Strike Platform The USS Arleigh Burke class destroyer is one of the most powerful surface combat ships in active US Navy service. In recent operations, these destroyers have been used to conduct long range precision strikes using the Tomahawk cruise missile. How it works Arleigh Burke class destroyers are equipped with the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System. This system allows the ship to fire Tomahawk missiles directly from the sea without warning and from a safe distance. Tomahawk missile role The Tomahawk is a long range, land attack cruise missile designed for high accuracy. It can strike command centers, air defense sites, radar stations, and high value infrastructure deep inside enemy territory. Guidance is achieved through GPS, terrain matching, and advanced navigation systems. Why the US Navy uses destroyers for strikes Using destroyers for missile strikes provides flexibility and speed. These ships can operate close to conflict zones while remaining hard to detect. They allow the US to project power without relying on nearby air bases or large carrier groups. Strategic impact When a Burke class destroyer launches Tomahawk missiles, it sends a clear message of deterrence and dominance. These strikes are precise, controlled, and designed to limit collateral damage while achieving military objectives. Modern naval warfare is no longer just about ships at sea. It is about reach, accuracy, and decision making within minutes. The Arleigh Burke class destroyer represents that reality.

BREAKING; Stealth Giant Awakens: USS Zumwalt Heads to Sea Trials as World's First Hypersonic Missile Destroyer USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000), the lead ship of the U.S. Navy's stealthy Zumwalt-class destroyers, has recently begun sea trials after departing from Pascagoula, Mississippi. This marks a significant milestone as it is described as the world’s first destroyer configured to carry intercontinental-range missiles, specifically through integration of the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic missile system. The Zumwalt-class was originally designed for naval surface fire support with advanced gun systems, but those were removed during refits starting around 2023–2024. The ship is now being repurposed for hypersonic strike capabilities. The CPS is a conventional (non-nuclear) hypersonic weapon system, featuring a two-stage solid rocket booster and a Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB). It provides rapid, precise long-range strikes with intercontinental potential, comparable in reach to some ICBMs but without nuclear warheads.This upgrade allows the Zumwalt to launch these missiles from its large vertical launch system cells (originally 80 Mk 57 VLS cells, with modifications for Advanced Payload Modules). The class's stealth features, large size (over 15,000 tons displacement), and power generation make it an ideal platform for such advanced weapons.

🇺🇸 Top 5 Stealth Warships in service right now: 5) Sweden’s Visby-class Corvette: Super light (only 640 tons), made of carbon fiber, and so stealthy it often appears on radar as a small fishing boat. 4) Singapore’s Formidable-class Frigate: Based on the French Lafayette design, packed with Aster and Harpoon missiles, with angled surfaces and hidden sensors to stay hidden. 3) China’s Type 055 Destroyer: A beast at 13,000 tons with 112 missile cells. Despite its size, its sleek integrated mast and flat surfaces give it serious stealth capabilities. 2) South Korea’s Sejong the Great-class: 11,000 tons of firepower with 128 vertical launch cells, Aegis radar, and smart stealth shaping. 1) America’s Zumwalt-class Destroyer: The odd-looking 15,600-ton giant with a tumblehome hull and composite deckhouse. Radar signature is tiny, and it’s now being converted into a hypersonic missile platform. Stealth isn’t just for jets anymore. These ships are designed to sneak up on enemies in an era of satellites and advanced radars. The Zumwalt especially looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Which one impresses (or scares) you the most? Source: TopStuff YT

🚨🇨🇳 U.S. NAVY IN PANIC: CHINA ARMS ITS MAIN DESTROYER CLASS WITH YJ-20 HYPERSONIC MISSILES New PLA footage has shown a Type 052D destroyer launching the YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile for the first time publicly. Previously demonstrated aboard the larger Type 055, the weapon has now reached the class that forms the backbone of China’s surface fleet. 🔸 The YJ-20 is a boost-glide weapon capable of speeds above Mach 5, with its range estimated at up to 1,500 km. Its manoeuvring bi-conic glide body can strike ships at a steep, near-vertical angle, making interception far more difficult. 🔸 The missile was cold-launched from one of the Type 052D’s 64 universal vertical-launch cells, ejecting above the ship before its motor ignited. 🔸 More than 35 Type 052Ds are already in service, with additional ships under construction. Unlike the smaller Type 055 fleet, these destroyers are produced in large numbers and routinely operate across the South China Sea and Western Pacific. 🔸 The YJ-20 does not need to replace the YJ-18. A mixed load allows Chinese destroyers to combine long-range hypersonic attacks with sea-skimming cruise missiles, forcing carrier defenses to confront different speeds, trajectories and approach angles. 🔸 This is what makes the integration more important than a single launch. Hypersonic anti-ship firepower can now spread beyond China’s largest destroyers to a far more numerous class, creating more launch platforms and attack directions. 🔸 The Pentagon’s leaked Overmatch brief found that American warships such as the Gerald R. Ford were often destroyed in Taiwan war games. Giving China’s primary destroyer class a hypersonic carrier-killer makes those scenarios even harder for the U.S. Navy. The threat is no longer one rare missile aboard a handful of large warships. It is China’s mass-produced destroyer fleet gaining the ability to attack U.S. carrier groups from extreme range. What threatens U.S. carriers more: the YJ-20’s speed or the number of ships that can launch it?

The 1980s Kirov-class ship Admiral Nakhimov is now becoming a hypersonic-armed powerhouse that could create big problems for the US and NATO navies. 🔸 Up to 60 Zircon hypersonic missiles — replacing the old 20 Granite supersonic “carrier killer” missiles (3 Zircons fit in each old slot) for much faster and heavier strikes. 🔸 96 Fort-M / S-300 long-range air defense missiles + 40 Osa short-range missiles, new AK-192 guns, land-attack cruise missiles, and upgraded anti-submarine weapons. 🔸 Kashtan close-in weapon system with rapid-fire Gatling guns plus 8 extra missiles to shoot down incoming drones and missiles at the last second, plus better radars and fire control. U.S. destroyers are equipped with SM-6, Tomahawk, and SeaRAM missiles, but this massive, modernized 28,000-ton battleship is armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles, which are extremely difficult to intercept — something Russia is already proving in Ukraine. Do you think the US Navy can counter this upgraded Russian warship?
