Missile's effective engagement range is probably represented by black portion. (30km)

While radar's effective detection and tracking range is represented by the whole circle. (60km)

Kalkan has an instrumented range of 100km. However, according to the diagram below, it can detect fighter size targets from 50-60km. (Hence 60km effective range in the footage above make sense.)

KALKAN-II Mobile Medium Altitude 3D Air Defense Radar

KALKAN-II is a mobile X band phased array 3D search and track radar for point and area defense of critical

Kalkan 2 radar have 120km range.

So radar screen should have shown 120km radius as instrumented range but it didn't.

Kalkan radar can detect a fighter at max 60km

This project has evolved into a very different place from the very beginning.The concept when it first came out looks very different from its current concept. Is the project still for the needs of the Land Forces? I have so many question marks in my mind.

We know that HvKK is very much interested to replace Nikes.

 

[Siper>MMU]

I hope they replace old PESA Kalkan I/II with a new gen AESA like Sentinel A4.

That's why I thought the Gökdemir system using Gökdoğan YH was being developed.

ı think radar range shows fire control radar range not kalkan

@TheInsider previously suggested that Kalkan ii is AESA.

Even Hisar A's radar is AESA. It is impossible Turkish defense industry produce PESA radars. Everything is AESA.

There is no FCS in Hisar O System.

Finally, we have seen the version without booster produced by Sage.

 

[Osman]

Very energetic. Any assumption on range?

Looks like SM-2 cute. Or slimmer. Double pack?

God knows. And the engineers working on the project .

Now try with MIDLAS

SİPER- Block1

RF- seeker head (developed over HİSAR-O+ RF head)
100+ km effective range
Booster-Dual Pulse impulse

SİPER-Block2
RF- seeker head (designed from scratch)
140+ km effective range
Long range with single stage rocket engine
30+ km intercept altitude

That looks like a much bigger seeker so that's nice. Curious about lack of dual stage, wonder if Blok 1 would perform better at 70-100km range

It can be seen that rear fins are folding type. This shows that it was designed with needs of the Navy MIDLAS in mind. In this way, the transition to Siper-D Blk2 frm Siper Blk2 will be faster and uninterrupted. Compared to 100+km range reached in Siper Blk1, the effect of a missile that exceeds 150+km range 30+km altitude without booster will offer much more extensive capabilities in the next variants.
