Aselsan’s GOKSUR Point Defence Missile System uses a missile that is derived from Bozdogan WVR air to air missile. According to unconfirmed sources it may have a maximum effective altitude of 8 to 9 km which should cover any jet fighters/fixed wing or rotary wing platforms. But it is most effective against sea skimming threats with an effective range stated by Aselsan as 15km. To have 20 missiles ready to use in canisters gives plenty to shoot against saturation attacks. Standard version uses ship radars to target. The stand alone version uses an Akrep 200N Aesa radar to target.

On paper it is a much better and economical missile system than the Rolling Airframe Missile systems we have on our Ada Class corvettes.

Not totally sure if its more economical than ram although i can imagine domestically sourced Göksur is cheaper than RAM. Maximum range of this should be about 15 km. I hope we will see at least the vls version on some of smaller ships then we could take market share from mica and camm.

Poland (2024–2025): Purchased 232 AIM-9X Block II missiles for $175 million total, breaking down to approximately $750000 per missile.
If we are manufacturing the Bozdogan as aim-9X equivalent, it should be cheaper.
Rolling Airframe Missiles cost around 980thousand to 1.1 million each. (We bought under FMS 94 missiles for 920thousand dollars each)

Apart from keeping our foreign currency at home, we will be paying less and any further maintenance costs for the upkeep of the missiles will be done in-house at more economical rates with Turkish labour rates.

japan bought 212 RAMs in 2024 for 360 million dollars. That makes it 1.7 million dollars each. But that included a lot of logistical equipment etc.

I am just a defence industry enthusiast, on his knees in front of a massive defence company, asking Aselsan and Roketsan to adapt similar launchers for other missiles.

I mean, give us this type of launcher for for Cirit C-UAS and Umtas, hell, even Eren.
