What's that the second CIWS at the left?

The right one is Göker , we know it.

That's just Korkut mate.

More than likely just a twin 35mm turret like Korkut's without AKR radar as it's part of a system. You can actually see the AKR right behind it on a different pedestal.

 

[BalkanTurk90]

The problem are not names but the quantity of those weapon systems .
In case of massive war , What Turkiye will do ? Those small factories will blow up at first day of war

These are massive systems, each battery costs somewhere between 40-200 million dollars. They can't be built over a month.

Current projection is 11 "batteries" of Hisar and Siper to be delivered to MSB by 2029.

I mean, if you consider the potential air defence need of TSK, then it is not sufficient. Having lesser numbers of AMD assets cannot be compensated in any other way. For example, Poles know this.

Poles have open credit lines, a strong economy and allies don't embargo more than half of the stuff they want to buy. We've asked for SAMP-T for more than a decade at this point.

It's a big country, we will never have enough air defence assets to cover it and our commitments elsewhere. 11 is a start, as we currently have no modern AMD assets but for 1-3 Hisar batteries, 10-14 Korkut batteries and 3-5 modernized GDF guns. Actual needs are probably 6 times these, at least.

And enough missile production capacity.

Do we have any idea roughly how many Hisar missiles are we producing per month or year? Does Hisar missile production have been affected from long waiting times for sub-components etc?

Türkiye starts works for integrated air defense system 'Steel Dome'​

ANKARA​

Türkiye has decided to launch works to develop an integrated multilayered air defense system called the Steel Dome.


The decision was taken at the Defense Industry Executive Committee meeting on Aug. 6 under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and with the participation of senior civilian and military officials.

A statement after the meeting underlined that the committee discussed ongoing and future top projects in the light of the achievements in the field of defense industry.

“Assessments were made of the level achieved by Türkiye’s defense industry, future goals and critical projects,” the country’s Communications Directorate said on X. “The commitment to supporting the domestic and national defense industry was underlined,” it added.

During the meeting, the Steel Dome Project was discussed, which focuses on integrating layered air defense systems, sensors and weapons into a network, providing a common air picture in real time and using artificial intelligence to assist decision-makers.

Türkiye has developed a number of indigenous air defense systems in recent years and is planning to combine all these systems under the Steel Dome, which will provide the protection of Türkiye’s entire air space.


The meeting also discussed projects for air defense and missile systems, Türkiye’s homegrown fighter jet Kaan, UAVs (drones) Bayraktar TB3, Akinci and Aksungur, and various unmanned aerial and maritime vehicles.

Turkish UAVs have gained fame in such conflicts as Ukraine and won contracts from countries around the world. A growing percentage of weapons and vehicles used by the Turkish Armed Forces are also made domestically.

“The meeting also addressed projects for enhancing the country's space access capabilities, systems for improving situational awareness on land, air and sea, electronic warfare systems, and defense systems against mini/micro UAVs and swarm-capable kamikaze unmanned maritime vehicles,” it added.

Projects for modernizing tanks and fighter jets, developing engines and power systems for vehicles, and procuring command, control and communication systems were also discussed during the meeting, it added.

Highlighting satisfaction with the progress in Türkiye’s defense industry, the meeting underlined the need to continue with increased determination using domestic technologies.

Great but I can't get over the poor choice of name.

I agree, they should have just given it a technical name and let time be a deciding factor a name, if it's good then it'll earn a nickname, if it does bad then a bad nickname.

What do you expect from Hurriyetdailynews, competence?

 

[TheInsider]

There is great interest in Gürz from the TSK. Aselsan works on the clock to ready the system.

 

[Zafer]

"Çelik Kubbe" is perfect.

Layer by layer, the part I like the most being ASELSAN actually considered C-UAS as a new layer like I imagined a few years back

 

[UkroTurk]

The best cool side is all layers from long range high altitude to very short range could be controlled and monitored from Headquarter of Türkish Armed Forces.

Unfortunately we currently just have radio communication between operators.

 

[Oublious]

they have learned a lot of from Ukraine war.

 

[Kaan Azman]

The head of GÜRZ's development openly said to me that they took Ukraine War as the basis for GÜRZ and GÖKDEMIR

 

[Saithan]

That could be due to all the loitering and missiles used by Russia, and it's easier to gather data and input especially considering our friendly stance with Ukraine I imagine they'd be willing to share with us.

And if more of Türkiyes defence products are being used we probably get plenty of feedback.

Not just Russia, I bet. We've all seen both sides lose armoured vehicles and tanks to missiles and drones (whether kamikaze drones or munition/mine dropping ones) whenever they step out of their aa umbrella, so to speak. I think the lesson we (and many other countries) have learned is the usual solutions we have is not good enough and armoured assets need better protection, hence our interest in Gürz.
