joke aside the new Korkut 2xx might have AURA 200 like Korkut 25.

Looks like we get a cost-effectice missile against drones from MKE. So MKE Tolga will also have a laser weapon and missiles. Roketsan teased one cost-effective missile against drones too.

Ages ago Roketsan showcased a Mete turret on a small Havelsan UGV, it had 10 cells I think. That is what we need against kamikaze drones, we don't even need full range of Mete, if Roketsan can make it effective at maximum 500 meters, that is more than enough.

Meet the new guardian of the skies, Türkiye’s "Drone Hunter": TUNGA-X Interceptor UAV!
We are redefining defense against asymmetric threats.
Designed to neutralize hostile drones mid-air, the TUNGA-X Interceptor UAV is ready for duty, clearing the airspace with its high-speed performance (up to 300 km/h), full autonomy, and cost-effective architecture.

Our HİSAR-D RF Air Defense Missile, launched from TCG Istanbul with MİDLAS, once again proved its reliability by accurately striking its targets at 10 meters and 800 meters altitude during live-fire test activities.

ASELSAN showcased the Air Defense version of KORAL for the first time...
— Not a prototype; in serial production!

The contract has been signed for the interim solution project I mentioned earlier regarding ballistic missiles, which I said would come in the future.
SSB Haluk Görgün:
"SİPER-A Project, which we are developing in the field of low-tier ballistic missile defense, also constitutes a strategic threshold in terms of our air and missile defense architecture.
This system, thanks to its AESA-based RF seeker head, precise target detection and tracking capability, and rapid reaction capability, will be one of the critical elements of our Steel Dome vision in ballistic missile defense."

Upgrading existing systems to ballistic capability is a shortcut that can save time and provide earlier ballistic coverage, thankfully.

SSB President Haluk Görgün:"We aim for the SİPER-1 systems to bring new capabilities to the inventory of our Turkish Armed Forces between the years 2026-2031.
We will incorporate our SİPER-2 systems into the inventory of our Air Force between 2027-2032, designed to provide effective defense capability against air-breathing targets, cruise missiles, and air-to-ground munitions.
SİPER-4 will meet the upper-tier anti-ballistic missile defense needs of our Air Force Command, while advancing our national proficiency even further in the fields of radar, guidance, command and control, missile technologies, and system integration.
I wish for the series production contract amendments of SİPER-1 and SİPER-2, as well as our SİPER-A and SİPER-4 projects, to bring good fortune to our Land Forces Command, our Air Force Command, our defense industry ecosystem, and our esteemed nation."

It would be nice to see when it hits a sea-skimming target

ASELSAN's pedestal-mounted Stinger system project began in 1989 and was ready for production around 1994, but the project stalled until 2001 because the government did not approve production. After 2001, the Atılgan and Zıpkın KMS's were produced and gradually added to the inventory. I remember when they first started appearing in parades in 2004/2005, everyone was very proud and showered them with praise.
A lot has changed since then. Who would have said that ASELSAN and other Turkish defense industry companies would develop dozens of different air defense systems and acquire anti-ballistic capabilities! As the Turkish nation, we have truly accomplished great things, but this should not lead us to complacency. We must continuously strive for even more; we cannot afford to be weak.
Additional Series Production Contracts for Air Defense Systems Signed
The signing ceremony for the Additional Series Production Contracts for Air Defense Systems took place today at the Presidency of Defense Industry's signing ceremony area, with the participation of the President of the Defense Industry, Prof. Dr. Haluk GÖRGÜN, Aselsan General Manager Ahmet AKYOL, and Roketsan General Manager Murat İKİNCİ.
This additional contract, signed on SAHA 2026, is another strategic step to be taken within the scope of the SİPER-1, SİPER-2, SİPER-A, and SİPER-4 projects, which strengthen different layers of our national air and missile defense architecture.
-Within the scope of SİPER-1, a significant process was initiated with the series production contract signed between the Presidency of Defense Industry and the ASELSAN-ROKETSAN Partnership on December 1, 2023. With the contract amendment made within the scope of the project, which has already delivered its first battery, the additional battery and missile needs of the Land Forces Command and the Air Forces Command have also been included in the project. The SİPER-1 systems are targeted to add new capabilities to the Turkish Armed Forces' inventory between 2026 and 2031.
-In the SİPER-2 project, following the serial production contract signed on October 29, 2025, a contract amendment agreement announced at SAHA 2026 aims to meet the Air Force Command's additional fleet, battery, and missile needs. The SİPER-2 systems are intended to be added to the Turkish Air Force's inventory between 2027 and 2032, offering effective defense capabilities against air-breathing targets, cruise missiles, and air-to-ground munitions.
-The SİPER-A Project, developed in the field of sub-layer ballistic missile defense and first announced at SAHA 2026, constitutes a strategic threshold in terms of air and missile defense architecture. Thanks to its AESA-based RF seeker head, precise target detection and tracking capability, and rapid reaction capability, this system will be one of the critical elements of the Steel Dome vision in ballistic missile defense.
- -The SİPER-4 Project represents the higher-level capability of this vision. SİPER-4 aims to meet the Turkish Air Force Command's need for higher-level anti-ballistic missile defense systems, thereby advancing national competence in radar, guidance, command and control, missile technologies, and system integration.
Based on the shared information, the SİPER-A system is intended to be a PAC-3 equivalent, while the SİPER-4 system is intended to be a THAAD equivalent in terms of technical specifications.
