We are using our Steel Dome systems in Kibris. :D


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.

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

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.

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.
