Biggest problem we are going to have will be targeting low flying quads or FPV drones coming in close. I'm looking at the Korkut 25 now and in this configuration it has to hit the drone before it flies low or it is fucked.

There is no way those AESA plates do not get in the way if the turret has to turn while following a low flying threat. And at this point I've probably seen a hundred fucking videos of drones doing just that to hunt armoured vehicles. Hell I've seen them fly into hatches and doors. This is great for demonstration but under real world conditions it has hilariously obvious blind spots.

As I said many times before. This "Plug-on" construction on our systems is bullshit. We need real integration.

EchoGuard is quite optimised for cases like this, almost the same size as my cousin's Galaxy Tab and consumes little power, Canik played it smarter in this regard

I think this is just to show the general concept and this could be more usable against Shaed style drone and not FPV.
Also aselsan showed smaller aesa radars during IDEF 25. Maybe these are not yet ready so they are maybe just placeholder.
