Unirobotics also put Echoguard on TRAKON LITE with M134 minigun, I guess we have our own mini Phalanx CIWS now

They previously put the radar on TRAKON 30 and even built on the idea further by pairing the RCWS with a mast for Echoshield

We are using our Steel Dome systems in Kibris.

The multi-layered air defense network established by Turkey in Cyprus is being analyzed using satellite images. HISAR systems operate in integration with radars with ranges of 120 km and 500 km. This structure creates 'lethal zones' against helicopters, drones, and cruise missiles. All systems are connected to the central command network in Turkey (HAKIM). Additionally, communication networks can be disrupted with electronic warfare capabilities. This situation presents a critical picture in terms of military balance and deterrence in Cyprus.

Türkiye deploys mid-range Hisar-O air defense systems to Northern Cyprus - Straturka | Türkiye, Middle East & Geopolitics News

Turkey has deployed the Hisar-O medium-altitude air defense system to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), thereby increasing its deterrence. Dr. Yiannos Charalambides, who has published numerous detailed military research articles critical of Turkey in Simerini, a newspaper published...

Did we actually send it there or is this a Greek fantasy?

According to the Greek we have, they have satelite image and they say Turks will hear it from us first time.

 

[YeşilVatan]

I would send inflatable HİSAR's everywhere just to mess with greeks lmao

Just think about the BS they will come up with if it turns up in macedonia or albania lol

Saudi Arabia sends a defense delegation to Türkiye! Air Defense Commander at ASELSAN.

Aselsan and CSG will create an EU based JV to build Korkut on a Tatra chassis and market it for European customers. Production will be handled in CSG facilities in Czechia and Slovakia.

STAMP has been offered with gatling gun since the first release and noone bats an eye.

Akbaba claims TSK already ordered 5+ Gürz.

Those 5 if true would be test vehicle for doctrine and to really get the last gimmicks out.
Or its just LRIP.

Why wouldnt it be?
Not about the source but logic says it shouldnt be a problem if you have produced a complete system already(last year).

I mean the overall volume.
In 2023-2024 we received the first prototype battery.
In 2025 we received one in September and one in December.
Im questioning if they can increase their production that fast.
That doesn't even include the normal alp radars under contract for which at least two dozen are being planned( i don't know if they ordered so many i'm guessing).

Then we will have to wait and see if they can.

can someone explain how can Siper block 2 missile be bigger than SM-3 block1 missile and have only 150km+ range while the SM-3 has over 1000km range? is it the guidance or something? or maybe SM-3 having no payload(hit-to-kill) has a huge advantage? because propulsion efficiency cannot explain such discrepancy.

I think because Siper is single stage while SM3 has 3 stages

It has to do with the payload. SM3 has basically two main components the rocket and the kill vehicle. The rocket transports the kill vehicle outside the atmosphere and the kill vehicle can move freely with very little propelent to hit its target because their is no air resistance and gravity. Siper block 2 is much similar to PAC 2 and SM6 (without the booster).

I dont think its range limited with 150 km, Turkish defence industry allways follow this way, they initially say it has a short range, but then they extend the range a few times later.

Türkiye deploys Patriot system after Iran missile incursions - Türkiye News

Türkiye has said that a Patriot air defense system was deployed in eastern Anatolia for the protection of its airspace following the second ballistic missile launched from Iran.

NATO is deploying PAC, so the headline is wrong, since Türkiye doesn't have any PAC.
