Hisar a is reasonable
Hisar O closer to 30 but okay
But 60 siper? How why? Around 15 would be fine max 20 for training replacements or new deployment
How did you get to 60 also siper 1/2/3 are the same battery just different missile
6-8 needs just to deploy outside in our bases like Kibris, libya, syria, iraq , qatar , somali .
Aslo we have big country when 100k km² S korea order 20+ batteries than why we not 60 which we are 8x more land to protect ?

Because a) economics and b) SK is technically still at war with a country that is largely focusing on ballistic missiles, we are not.

I predict Kemankeş will be used in this role and It will have much longer range. Overall, It will be 200km range A2A missile against drones.
Advanced 358 missiles powered by solid fuelled rocket engine with a speed of over 700km/hr, can fly at altitudes of 8500m to 10000m and with a 100km range and go after aerial targets. It is launched from ground.

The Kemankes-2 on the other hand has a communication range of 70km. Potentially it can have an operational range of 180+km. But not as yet. It has a speed of 370km/hr. It may have a potential maximum flight altitude of 5500m. But its operational altitude is under 2000m. (6000 ft). Kemankes-2 has a jet engine to propel it. It is air launched.

So they are totally different missiles as far as their operational details and kinematics go.

They may both be loitering munitions. But they have very different kinematics.

Kemankes is best for surface attacks and slow moving low altitude aerial targets like helicopters. It can operate under heavy jamming and bad weather. AI integrated operation gives this missile a high end performance for what it is intended.

358 missile is faster and has a higher operational altitude. Also price wise there could be a big difference between the two in favour of the 358. As a cheap alternative to conventional AD system missiles, it could be the ideal choice.
