Successful shot from SİPER Product-2: Long arm of Steel Dome
The second firing test of the SİPER Product-2 Long Range Air Defense Missile was successfully completed. The 'long arm' of the Steel Dome Integrated Air and Missile Defense System will be SİPER Product-2.
The firing activities were carried out at the Sinop Test Center on September 12, 2024. As a result of the test activity attended by the Presidency of Defense Industries and the Turkish Armed Forces, the Fire Control Center, Data Link and Missile Launch System capabilities were tested using the SİPER Product-2 Missile.
Making an assessment on the subject, Defense Industries President Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün noted the following in his statement:
“ With the long-range and high -altitude deterrent power of the Steel Dome , the SİPER Project , we aim to provide Long-Range and Distributed Architecture Air Defense against enemy attacks at Strategic Facilities within the scope of Regional Air Defense . The SİPER System will be able to engage air -breathing targets such as fighter jets and cruise missiles and air-to-ground munitions , and in the later stages, work will also be carried out to gain engagement capability against ballistic missiles .
We will use the data collected within the scope of the Firing Test in the development work of the project . I heartily congratulate our ASELSAN-ROKETSAN-TÜBİTAK SAGE companies and their personnel who took part in the project , and I hope that the firing test will bring goodness to our homeland and our country's defense . "
SİPER will enter the inventory this year
Within the scope of the Long Range Regional Air and Missile Defense System Project Phase-C (SİPER) contract signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries and the ASELSAN-ROKETSAN-TÜBİTAK SAGE business partnership on January 15, 2018 , Turkey's first national long-range air defense system is being developed.The first SİPER system is aimed to be added to the Turkish Armed Forces inventory by the end of this year with the 100-kilometer range SİPER Product-1 Missile. The SİPER Product-1 Missile will be followed by the 150-kilometer range SİPER Product-2 Missile.

Hisar O+'s radar seeker is AGRAS-100SA(Surface Air?), Siper Ürün-1 uses the 110, while Hisar-D's is dubbed the 150. 150km ranger Siper Ürün/Product 2 will have the AGRAS-400SA.
Still not clear what Sapan will exactly be.
"A variant of the missiles used in the Hisar O+ system is the HİSAR O+ missile with RF Seeker Head (AGRAS-100SA)."
"With the experience gained in HİSAR O+ RF, the first output of the SİPER Long Range Regional Air Defense System development process, the SİPER Product-1 missile, was first introduced. The SİPER Product-1 missile, which uses the ASELSAN Radar Seeker Head (AGRAS-110SA), is currently being prepared to enter the inventory."
"Firing tests have begun with the HİSAR-D missile using ASELSAN Radar Seeker Heads (AGRAS-150SA)."
"Within the scope of the near-term needs of the Naval Forces Command, the studies to increase the capability of Radar Seeker Heads for air defense missiles to be used in the SAPAN Project continue with AGRAS-200SA and AGRAS-500SA. The Radar Seeker Head (AGRAS-400SA) is being developed for the SİPER Product-2 missile developed within the scope of the Long Range Regional Air Defense System SİPER, which constitutes the top layer of the ongoing air defense system projects."

From there as i see it (speculating);
AGRAS-200SA is Hisar-D2 / Sapan-1
AGRAS-500SA is Siper-B2D / Sapan-2
Those are only two missiles made from scratch for navy, or with navy's involvement, since the beginning. Thus it makes sense for two of these to be accounted as part of the Sapan air defence system, unlike other two (Hisar-D/ ex Hisar-O RF, Siper-B1D, ex Hisar-U / Siper-B1) adopted from land based systems.
As i noticed Aselsan's taxonomy indicates a new product by 3rd digit and increments on the 2nd digit indicates improvement, adoption, modification for alternative uses.
But SSB cancels me here;
They refer to SAPAN as an acquisition program for surface to air missiles and related systems. We might be dealing with two Sapan projects named similarly and referring to different products.
Or AGRAS-200SA is a seeker that quadpacked Hisar-DB2 and Siper-B1D will use in common. Or Navy's Siper-B1 will be ER variant of Hisar-DB2 in other words.
Such a puzzle to solve.

Are there any prototypes or photos of Hisar-D2 since they were made?
( We saw Hisar-D1 that launched from TCG İstanbul, i am asking especially about Hisar-D2)

the naming scheme is so confusing that i'm entertaining the idea that it is made on purpose
Yeah but it could potentially confuse future buyers too.

Live-fire shown of SeaRAM (with Phalanx sensor) and RAM launchers. Would love to see test firing vids of Levent from Turkish ships.

Lovely, but seems development is going slower than I expected. Radars and the EO both look to be mockups, so this was just a launch test for the missile.what is wrong with the forum nobody have posted

even more interestingly there may be drastic structural changes on the missile itself I mean compared to missile mockups we have seen so far

We knew for some time that the missile would be different than Sungur, no? Levent is longer.
As Yıldırım points out, in a past mockup, they had shown two different missiles in a model, one of which Sungur. Looks like the idea of using Sungur as a substitute is now dead after Aselsan touted Gökdoğan directly for their own program.
