How many Siper batteries do we have at present, and how many will we have by the end of 2026 – is 6–7 a realistic figure?

What is the current status of Siper Block 2 – when will it be officially handed over to the armed forces?

This needs to happen faster... we need at least 12–14 active Siper batteries by 2027/28 to build up an AD/A2 Field and ensure the success of Mavi Vatan.

3 including the prototype that was delivered, maybe 4.

Probably won't happen.

The sources said Ukraine had imported a small number of Turkish-made Korkut air defence systems


The system is designed to counter first-person-view and tethered drones using 25-millimetre smart ammunition.

"Korkut has been pretty much successful in countering the Russian attacks,” one Ukrainian official told MEE


“There were of course some problems but nothing that couldn’t be overcome through some small adjustments.”

Turkey supplies Korkut air defence systems to Ukraine, sources say

Korkut is reportedly operational in nine countries.

We should remember that both Aselsan and Roketsan were already building parts for the global Patriot fleet and was part of the ecosystem. Those all stopped in the last decade.

Supporting the rival product would be counterintuitive.

As mentioned above, Roketsan‘s and Aselsan’s Siper 2 missile systems with 150+km range and 30+ km altitude have started serial production runs. As deliverable quantities are reached they will become part of the TSK inventory.

Specific radars to operate with this missile are also being produced.
The anti ballistic missile version, Siper 3 and THAAD replacement Siper 4 are also in the pipeline.

Alp 310g and Akrep 1000 should be fine for Siper block 2. Also in case it gets confusing Siper A is terminal interceptor(pac 3mse) Siper 3 is very long range interceptor(sm6) and block 4 is exo/endoatmospheric interceptor (thaad)

How can be true ?
We have very low number of korkuts ourself abd no news that we continue to produce more ,
Or are u talking about Oerlikon 35mm which after modernized can be called korkuts ?

We have low number of Korkuts because we simply did not order them not for lack of capacity to produce them. They have explicitly been produced only for export for last 2 years or so
