Hisar ;Can Hisar A, O & U use the same launcher platform so they only need to change the missile pods?
What's the max range of Hisar O & U? Looking at the Wikipedia, the answers varies depending on the sources.
What's Siper actually? Another name for Hisar U variant with different spec than regular Hisar U or what?
Does Turkey planned for anti-ballistic missile variant of Hisar like Aster missile family in the future?

Hisar (missile family) - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
A, IIR seeker short range - low altitude SAM
O, IIR or RF seeker mid-range - medium altitude SAM / point defense missile / naval point defense missile
U, RF seeker long range - medium altitude SAM
Siper:
Block I, RF seeker long range - high altitude SAM
Block II, Dual band RF seeker long range - high altitude SAM with limited ABM
Block III, Dual band RF and IIR dual mode seeker ABM
Most confusing part; Hisar - U has migrated to Siper family (thus into Siper battery) and shifted original Siper blocks by +1. Now, Siper block I refers to Hisar - U and block II refers to original first member of Siper family, block I.
Siper block I a.k.a. Hisar-U can be used from common launcher with Hisar-A/O and same battery formation but missile now has longer range than expected to Hisar battery with current formation is not enough for it.
Ranges are the grey areas, Hisar - O IIR has 30+ km range (some says up to 35), Hisar-RF is more than 50 km.
Hisar - U / now Siper block I is more than 100 km.
Siper block 1 / now Siper block II is unknown but expected to be 150km.
