Some1 please explain to me what is the difference between Aselsan Gurz and Roketsan Levent?
Progess between them? Already in Turkish Army inventory? Potential export sale?

Levent is a RAM system for ships whereas Gürz is a shorad system on 8x8 chasis with short range aa missiles and 35mm cannon. There are no connections or similarities between the two whatsoever, except for maybe both using the same missiles.

Aselsan Gürz is all-in-one system very low to low altitude-short to medium range defence system with soft-hard kill countermeasures and gun-missile systems are bundled together. Bundles Sungur, Command-in-line system missile, RF-Jammer, Optic Dazzler-Laser, Bozdoğan SAM-Gökdoğan SAM optionally, equipped with 4 x Scanning AESA and 1 x Tracking FCR radar for the gun.

Levent is the missile(s) of point-defense system / close-in defense system similar to RIM-116 RAM. First block is improved Sungur, latter block is bulkier and equivalent to RIM-116

Hi, the key difference is that Gürz is a short-range air defense system on an 8x8 chassis with missiles and a 35mm gun, designed for land forces. Levent is a naval point-defense system, similar to RIM-116 RAM, focused on missile defense for ships. Gürz combines guns, missiles, radar, and countermeasures in one integrated package, while Levent is primarily a missile-based CIWS. Both are in development or limited deployment with the Turkish Armed Forces, and Levent has potential for export as a naval defense solution.
