Autonomous TV guided Laçin. Cheap and fire-and-forget. As image processing gets easier to do in small form factor we will probably get more and more tv guided versions of other munitions too

This procurement is for the Land force. It will include both air and land launched variants

Geran 4 mtow is 450 kg exactly 10 times the Ayaz. May as well compare it to a Tomahawk. Geran 4's warhead alone weighs more than Ayaz. Ayaz Geran 4 45 kg 450kg 6.5 kg 50 kg 1.9 meter 3 meter 300 km 500-700 km

🛡️ Drone-hunting drone: ASELSAN GÖKALP ➡️ Using radar and electro-optical sensors, GÖKALP detects aerial threats and autonomously intercepts hostile drones with interceptor drones. ➡️ Its vehicle-mounted design delivers full mobility and a cost-effective counter-UAV shield.

I mean realistically if your air base is in the range of enemy fpv drones there isn't much you can do except evacuate it. These are more for kamikaze drones and cruise missiles

More towed Korkut systems delivered to the army

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

Which part? To me it seems pretty clear cut. They got some amount of Korkut's it needed small adaptations to the field but "pretty successful" overall. And they are looking to buy more depending on the price. It becomes much more clear if you contrast it with Skynex which was assessed as...

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...

Yeah that was what I meant. I don't think it makes sense to compare sdb and tolun one to one since there is more than 20 years between their development. There was neither much emphasis on GPS free navigation then nor the technology to do it in small size factor like today

I mean didn't SDB in general regardless of launch method perform badly in Ukraine because it is a relatively old weapon that wasn't designed to deal with the GPS jamming? From what I remember they couldn't use it in rangers longer that 30 km even from the jets

Tolun is being produced in robotic serial production lines with capacity to build thousands per month. Very long range variants with propulsion is also incoming

We have seen test footage of Şimşek-K(600 km) and Süper Şimşek (1000km), but not Ayaz(300 km). Apparently, they have all been successfully tested for Air launch, catapult launch, and ROTA. Also, Ayaz apparently has already been used in army exercises in the past and will be used again this...
