Bingo...

Looks like Siper and Hisar goes to Europe, to Czech Republic

May it be first of many

CSG group presented the Trident multi-layered air defence system at Eurosatory 2026 - EDR Magazine

The industrial and technology group CSG, together with its partners, presented the new Trident multi-layered air defence system at the

Tatra Defence is responsible for the development and production of armoured cabins for Tatra Force platform, superstructures and launcher systems for surface-to-air missiles. Cooperation’s strategic partner, Roketsan of Türkiye, supplies state of the art short-, medium- and long-range surface-to-air air defence missiles and launching structures.

If czechs will buy from us, its possible to sell to any european nation.

This is for indonesia i think. There will be two variants of this medium and long range with medium range having a better radar than our hisar and long range having a worse radar than our siper.
But interesting concept turkish missiles and czech systems.

Czech Republic got Spyder Air defence system from Rafael, though it has range of 80 km. And CSG Group's Retia was subcontractor.

New Czech air defense system has range of up to 80 kilometers

The new SPYDER air defense system promises longer range, missiles targeting multiple objectives, and a technological leap for the Czech army.

The Radars of this Trident is also produced by Retia, and they had collaboration with ELTA.

Elta lands $110 million deal from Czech Republic for radar support services | CTech

The new deal comes on the back of the Czech Republic's $125 million purchase of 8 multi-mission radar systems developed by Elta for the Iron Dome defense batteries in 2019

So, probably they are producing Israeli radar under license, and integrating with Turkish Missiles. In addition, Czechs are quite pro-Israel, I am skeptical that Czechs would buy a system from us, but you would never know.

Indonesia already got Trisula. Trident is the export version of Trisula; Trisula means Trident. Doesn't look that different. Czech trucks, "Czech" radars, Roketsan missiles.

Hopefully our own hisar batteries will get a better radar similar in size to alp 100g a bit smaller perhaps.

The 7.62 mm Anti-Drone Ammunition, developed by MKE engineers, successfully neutralised aerial threats during live-fire tests.

Compatible with existing firearms, this innovative ammunition provides infantry units with a rapid and effective response capability against mini and micro UAVs, as well as kamikaze drones.

With this technology, every weapon can become part of the air defence network when required.

Most likely our troops will carry 1-2 magazines with these Anti drone munitions. Hopefully there is also a 556 variant. Our Weaponstations (manned/unmanned) will most likely have a mixed belt (every 3 round).

This is a very valuable product as otherwise it is too hard for a rifleman to hit a drone. I have seen a champion shotgun shooter struggling to hit such a drone, maybe one out of every 10 shot hits.

They should try to make for smaller calibers too, down to 9 mm handgun calibers.

 

[Pokemonte13]

Tbf a lot of times these drones have no payload and are much more maneuverable and have better connection/ its still hard with real ones

Yeah but they are also quite hard to control and have weird blast patterns. It you start equipping your soldiers with better counter measures you force the pilots to fly more finicky paths increasing the chance of the fpv missing its target or failling to correctly detonate. So it is beneficial even if you can't get a direct hit.

Russia and Ukraine both will love that...

No spec on the ammo just "Drone ammo" 7,62mm. They could be firing standard type for all we know

There was a demonstration of the spread pattern though.

Watch whole video

I think this is a great budget option for the dual setup they show in the video, but, in infantry hands I am not convinced. How big the pellets will decide how lethal it is to the drone and how far it can travel but also limit how many they can fit inside and how big the spread is going to be; so they are going to solve that issue with volume of fire. But, an infantry can only carry so many magazines, which means either we are going to have to give a soldier or two in a squad anti-drone duty (in which case automatic shotguns would be far more effective imo) or, risk soldiers carrying less conventional ammo and even confuse the two and end up with the wrong ammo type at the wrong time.
