The missile is BlueArrow-11(蓝箭-11), UAV perhaps is CH-4B(彩虹-4B).
All of these weapons were sold to UAE many years before.

Ch-4B stall speed is 90 km/h meanwhile the target intercepted in the video was travelling at 45 km/h so if this was an Hisar-A interception it must be a different one

Should be CH-95, it had appeared many times.

Another test is coming for the Siper....

Siper B1 series production new deliveries will soon undergo acceptance testing.

1-2 more Siper batteries will enter the inventory this month.

Super was capable of intercepting missiles at up to 100km right ? But was tests conducted at that range or within 100km. I am asking because to intercept at 100km the radar must be able to identify the threat before the 100 km Mark.

What's the range of the radar, and I remember we talked whether the range could be extended using passive extenders

Alp-310G should have an instrumented max range up to 700-800, effective range against large targets up to 450kms.

ALP 300-G and others like eirs , teis , Eralp , fixed ones , 400G are all Modern radar aesa .
ALP 300-G can detect aibus a320 700+km away . F16 perhaps 200-300km away and steath ones perhaps 40-100km away . Real range depends and are secret .
So the radars are not the problem , Türkiye just need longer range air defence missiles

During trials Alp300 is able to spot F-16 from 400 km range.

How many batteries will we have by the end of 2026 4 or 6?

To provide comprehensive protection for Turkey, we need at least 14–16 Siper batteries, plus our 4 S-400 batteries, each stationed in the north, south, east, and west for redundancy. Then no one will be able to threaten us as easily as Israel does. Once Block 2 is commissioned, we will establish a complete A2/AD bubble in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Black Seas, and generally, 1–2 Siper batteries should be stationed in Northern Cyprus.

There was 3 serial production deliveries and 1 initial testing delivery which we don't know if it had counted as serial peoduction delivery or not. So we should have at least 4 at most 6 batteries at the end of the month if news of 1/2 delivery is correct. With current pace there should be 2 more deliveries till end of the year as well. So we are looking at something between 6 and 8 by end of the year.

Block 2's biggest advantage is going to be cross compatibility. Once Block 2 enters inventory all of these batteries can be converted into Block 1/2 hybrid batteries massively increasing coverage

Aselsan shared test footage from improved versions of Ejderha, Gökberk and ihtar. Ejderha and Gökberk took down fiber optic fpvs while İhtar took down normal fpv.

Improvements:
Ejderha: new bigger antenna layout with more range and radar integration for standalone use
İHTAR: moved to AESA radar technology
Gökberk: size and tracking optimizations

Just as an info they did not use the Ihtar system with the aesa panels but the older one.

Not sure what you mean by converted but its just a new missile the system was already capable of firing it.
Siper had 1 prototype battery that was delivered in 2024, 1 battery in September 2025, 1 in January 2026 and 1 in march 2026
total 4 batteries in service if we don't count the prototype than that means on average 1 battery ever 3-4 months so in a year 3 or 4 batteries.

More Hisar-A intercepts in Sudan.
