Wait what? TurAF wants to use DENİZHAN for Air Defence? Also MKE will use that 35 mm revolver cannon we saw on the Enderus booth.

Systems Newly Added to TOLGA

MKE General Manager İlhami Keleş:

> “The AESA radar is TOLGA’s radar. With this AESA radar, it can be used day and night both for air targets and, through the optical tracking systems mounted on them, to lock onto PİRANA-type kamikaze systems from the command center. Because the optical systems include both night-vision and daytime cameras, targets can be locked onto there.

> The twin 20 mm guns began to be used specifically at the request of the Naval Forces. The guns fire 1,600 rounds per minute.

> We currently have an order volume of 31 units for the 76 mm naval gun. For this, we built a factory in Mamak dedicated solely to producing naval guns.

> For the Air Force, we will manage the 76 mm system through the TOLGA Operations Center using the AESA radar. Therefore, it will also become highly important in air defense.

> Firing tests of the 35 mm gun have also been completed. The gun actively participating in live firing on that line is the weapon on the stand of our subsidiary Enderus. It can fire 1,100 rounds per minute from a single barrel.

> Enfal-17 is a system managed by TOLGA. Enfal-17 is especially a threat to Shahed-type drones, stand-off munitions, attack helicopters, and all similar threats. In other words, it is a countermeasure against every type of aerial threat below 30,000 feet, and it is a very low-cost countermeasure.”




This feels like a misspeak especially when rest of the speech is all about ship air defence. He probably meant to say for air targets because using 76mm airbust ammunition for air defence on ships has been talked about for a long time and sctually make sense. I can't see any reason why Air force would want a 76mm gun for air defence

Nope, he clearly speaks about TurAF. Also he tries to explain how it will be integrated in the bases.

These would be non mobile permanent structures build into the ground. Also 31 guns how?

3+5 for I class

Yeah, I only read the given transcription before now after watching the whole interview he does speak about Air force specifically. It is an interesting choice I would think 35 mm would be a much more suitable option but there must be sone other considerations

According to SavunmaSanayiST interview with Ahmet Akyol Gürz that was presented in the Saha expo was not a prototype or Mock-up but the first serial production vehicle. It will enter both Air forces and Land Forces inventory

Part about Gürz starts at 4.14 and in 4.50 Ahmet Akyol says that they brought prototypes for earlier expos and now Brought first serial produced product to SAHA.

The one they brought is most likely the airforce variant much more capable and expensive but less mobile. Army will probably get the earlier variant. There is even a variant with GÖKBERK laser .
