Shame on TUSAŞ,we still use bunshee target drone.

They're old, so it makes sense to get rid of them first.
TUSAS is making wonders and some of you are shaming it. Unbelievable!

Firstly, this is an old video. We know Gökdemir test was made at least a year ago from the accompanied photo which was made public in 2023 at the latest. Adding, That's a Banshee 80 twin engine target drone. It's not old, it's a perfect target drone, cheap and is basically an industry standard at this point. And it perfectly matches the threats Gökdoğan will be used against. It can fly up to mach 0.6 and 30k feet. And I don't think Süper Şimşek is ready.

Do you mean ASuW capabilities? Otherwise each DDG and carrier strike wing still carry substantial land attack capabilities, no?

CSG's are often accompanied by submarines equipped with Tomahawks as well. But indeed, CSG's role in ASuW is immeasurable with the aircrafts on board.

Possibly, this argument from 90s through 2000s has been obsolete as US has achieved remarkable low costs for tomahawk, that made it eventually comparable to the 155mm rounds* initially planned to be used on Zumwalt class.

* also the gun system, maintenance non-commonality through other surface assets etc. yielding to higher costs.

And here's the Gökdemir(Turkish Nasams) test footage at last.

Its not a "kill by hit" system.

It's this vehicle Turkish? Looks fabulous! Couldn't they put HISAR on it too?

Gökdoğan is indeed not hit to kill by its nature but this speaks volumes to the guidance system and the maneuvering characteristics of the missile.

It's Anadolu Isuzu's Seyit 8x8 built under Tatra license. We talked about this few months back Aselsan for the last few years seem to use Seyit for 8x8 and BMC for 6x6 duties. TEIRS early warning radars are placed on Seyit while Siper is built on BMC 6x6s. Hisar O was contracted years ago when there was no Seyit. Maybe new batteries will be delivered on something other than Mercedes Zetros.

Something to add, on the video, they use Aselsan's 35mm gun radar and EO system to guide the missile. That trailer is usually used together with 3 35mm guns/Korkut and an Hisar A. It carries all the sensors(3D MAR, FCR AKR and EO) Hisar A carries, so I'm thinking the Hisar A in the complex can be replaced fully by a Gökdemir TEL which would open up the much more mobile Hisar for deployment elsewhere.

Gökdemir can be slaved to any Aselsan radar system. In this case, it is slaved to AIC of modernized AAA/Korkut/Hisar-A. It can also get firing solutions directly from Steel Dome IADS.

I believe that's the point of Steel Dome in the first place.
