Answering the questions of SavunmaSanayiST.com Editor-in-Chief Anıl Şahin, Roketsan General Manager Ikinci announced that the
SUNGUR Low Altitude Air Defense Missile has started mass production and the HİSAR-O+ Medium Altitude Air Defense Missile System will be put into use in a short time.
SUNGUR Missile in Mass Production
“Currently, SUNGUR is a platform whose mass production has begun. It is an air defense system that can affect air targets at an altitude of approximately 4 – 4.5 kilometers and at a range of 8 kilometers, and can be used by TEK-ER or over a platform. Currently, mass production activities continue, including the off-the-shoulder version of SUNGUR.
HİSAR-O+ Coming With Both IIR and RF Headed Missiles
HİSAR-O+ actually consists of two versions. One of them is HİSAR-O+'s version with imager infrared (IIR) seeker, its acceptance tests are continuing, hopefully we will finish it towards the end of this year and start delivering it to the Turkish Armed Forces. The tests of the RF seeker-headed version of HİSAR-O+ are also continuing. We aim to complete it in 2022.
New missile with a range of 150 kilometers after SİPER Blok-I
On the other hand, we made the test firing of SİPER Blok-I on Friday, October 5th. Actually, it wasn't the first shot, we did a lot of shots, but on Friday it really passed an important level in terms of ability display.
The SİPER Block-I Missile will be the first missile of the SİPER System to be used in the field. Of course, after this, the development of our missiles with a range of up to 150 kilometers will continue. The SİPER System will be an air defense system that we can see on the field in 2023.
SIPER, of course, is the top layer of our air defense umbrella. As emphasized by our President of Defense Industries, their development will continue from now on. In 2023 and beyond, SIPER Missiles in different configurations will enter the service of our armed forces.
