Two images have nothing to do with each other. Top one is a placeholder design to showcase Kalkan 050G radars, below one is Altuğ with Korhan turret.

New Hisar-O firing test. Soft on the details, but it looks like they changed the EO vehicle with an uparmored Otokar Ural.

I don’t get it. How many vehicles has Hisar-O+ system.

I don’t get it. How many vehicles has Hisar-O+ system.

A basic Hisar-O battery have 3 TELs, a command vehicle, a Link-16 relay, an EO vehicle, a Kalkan radar towed by either the command vehicle or the relay vehicle. In total 18 missiles ready to fire. It's not clear if the ones that will be delivered to the air force will differ from this.

I count at least 5 vehicles. One or more launch systems and four different vehicles. Is it just me, or this are way to much vehicles? Is it possible to reduce it of 2 vehicles?

It's a way of compartmentalization, lowering the risk of losing the whole system when one or more vehicles are out of service. If the command vehicle and the relay vehicle are both out of action and the battery's links to outside world is cut off, EO vehicle can still guide the missiles at lower range.

For vehicle types, battery consists of 4 Mercedes Zetros trucks(3 TEL launcher vehicles and the command vehicle), 1 Unimog truck acts as the relay vehicle, and the EO is now based on the Otokar Ural.
