Just look at the cannon, the truck and the sensors on it block its view completely

That is what I didn't understand from the beginning. Why the placement of gun buried that way, and why they dont the raise the position of the gun above the sensors. It shouldnt be that hard, just look at Pantsir

We should remember that Pantsir is a shit ass weapons platform and Gürz was built as a better Pantsir in every way imaginable, literally from a captured Pantsir. First ever released Gürz image was basically a Pantsir with 35mm gun.

This is a easily relocatable point defense system, it's not designed to move around when fighting like Korkut or Hisar-A. Gürz will be mainly for installation defence. Think bases on the periphery, Syria, Somalia, Libya.

I bloody hope so mate.

 

[Pokemonte13]

there are also variants which are more mobile but lack the sensors and short range missiles Like gürz 150

I know that, but that does not mean their gun placement looks worse than us. There is no point to bury the gun and reduce effectiveness against low flying uavs like lets say 10 or 20 percent. I am not an expert but it is a common sense, the gun should be raised above the sensor.

However, if the benefit of this current placement outweighs the costs, i really like to know these benefits

Look here is new 35 mm Polish CIWS.

The gun has also limited vision however it is called counter drone AD

The system does not have any missiles!!! Just direct fire!

Wonder how much it cost with all the sensors etc.

Pantsir which is equal to wheeled Korkut costs app 20million USD.
Most of costs are radar and missiles.

Saudi Arabia Spends US$2.3 Bln to Acquire 39 Russian Pantsir-S1M Air Defense Systems in Secret Deal - Defence Security Asia

Saudi Arabia has reportedly acquired 39 Russian-made Pantsir-S1M air defense systems in a “quiet” deal worth an estimated $2.3 billion (RM10.1 billion).

İf the deal is finished, What a pitty for KSA as well as for Türkiye.

We could have supplied Korkut.

Akbaba claimed few months ago that Saudi ordered and even took delivery of Korkut.

If we put this anywhere close to front line it would be blown to pieces before the end of its first week, by a drone.

Just look at the cannon, the truck and the sensors on it block its view completely. It is ridiculously susceptible to anything flying low, hell, not even that low! If it can fire on the move, I can see it as a good option to accompany armoured columns, or defending backline command posts but that's it.

Sanchez is right.

Let's not forget about Burç ^

I think it's high time Atılgans are replaced with Burç. Remaining Atılgans can be modernized and employed on installation defense.

I counted 8 launchers.

Well, it has 2 Sungur pods and one pod has 4 missiles. Burç can have 20 or 30 mm cannon, according to Roketsan's website. I can't remember, have they showed ATOM munition for either of the calibres? I'm curious to see which cannon they'll choose for serial production.

 

[Pokemonte13]

They also changed the radar from meteksan to echodyne and why are they still using wescam

 

[Pokemonte13]

There are now three different variants of burc

 

[Strong AI]

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to replace one Sungur pod with Cirit C-UAS pod?

i think its flexible depending on what the army wants

Burch air defense turret launching SUNGUR SAM.

Great platform. Notice how engaging launcher.

The missile canister's cover opens. This is how they test whether the seeker head can detect IR signals, similar to the Mistral/SINBAD naval launcher. Lock on before launch. Not like RIM-116.I hope we see it deployed on ships as soon as possible.

 

[Pokemonte13]

Not totally sure what you mean with "This is how they test whether the seeker head can detect IR signals" but manpads need to lock on before launch in order to engage targets since they lack a data link
