What's the total orderbook for Aselsan now, I think you were listing them up?

2023 about 600 million euros.
2024 up to 1 billion euros.
2025 September 1.65 billion euros.
2025 November 1.1 billion euros.
In total 4.35 billion euros for missiles and batteries as well as stand alone radars(Alp300/100).
As far as I can see the only order that has been delivered is the one from 2023 the rest is yet to come.

All of these are validating. But we know Turkish AD interceptors can do this with subsonic targets since 2020 with dozens successful of tests.

It's time to test and validate them against Mach 2 target rounds in real scenarios.

Süper Şimşek is a LO drone and it was maneuvering for these tests. And all the personnell in the video that I can see is from the air force, not from companies.

Probaly a foreign user can be the first user to fire a Siper2 interceptor to a real hostile target. Skies are quieter nowadays, but a prudent user can deploy a system just in case.

And the greatest threat we face is from israel which relies on its airforce for power hence engaging subsonic maneuverable low observable targets makes sense. This is just one of many tests we get to see only a small fraction of it.

Siper 1 fire test against süper simsek
Engaging a target with such a small Rcs at 100+km is very good

I know Simsek series has RCS augmenters, so I wonder if it struck a normal Super Simsek or if a passive/active RCS augmenter was used. If it was just a Super Simsek with its base RCS then that is insanely impressive.

Could be but i think this was a test to see how the missile performs when the enemy targets starts moving to make the missile bleed speed and see if it can hit an evading target.

The thing about block 2 that confuses me is the given range. Block 2 is 6.3 meters long close to the sm6 even has a larger diameter but has an official range of just 150km like pac 2 that is a meter shorter. Either the americans are exaggerating or ours is closer to 200km

It is probably 150km+. Just like SIPER block 1 range was revised to 100km from 70km initially. New range for SIPER block 2 might be declared later.

US solid rocket motor tech still ahead of everyone. Hence SM series has really good performance.

We need some slim boosters to these missiles.

An Italian Samp-T will be deployed to Konya AFB under NATO defense. Surprisingly this is not the first time an Italian Samp-T was deployed to Turkey.

I don't think there's much connection to the claimed Samp-T/Aster-30 buy of Turkey. Konya is a large base and is home to Nato E-3s.

The will do it in the coming phase.
