That is an insane capability. Especially in the Sea of Islands.Is he talking about SOM missiles used as sea mines or am I losing grip?
Sungur-ER will have both IIR and RF seekers and a longer range. No microwave seeker is planned for Sungur.
Turkish RAM replacement, most probably won’t have a rolling airframe. The only reason the US RAM rolls around its axis is because the interferometer it has on board can only work on one plane. By rotating the missile they achieve 360degree coverage for the dual IR seeker.AFAIK they would produce Rolling missile with microwave seekers for Gökdeniz ER. But Göksur using Bozdoğan A2A missiles. Not same
No, it is too heavy but it can be mounted on light 4x4 vehicles which might make it a hell of a SHORAD.Is it possible to adapt Sungur-ER for manpad?

Does Bozdoğan Datalink capability?or next gen Bozdoğans will have?Turkish RAM replacement, most probably won’t have a rolling airframe.

Turkish one will have 4 IR seekers. Hence omitting the need for rotation.

This above design was shared by Roketsan as a possible missile for LEVENT point defence system, which was also contemplated using an upgraded Sungur missile.
But then again a Bozdogan based CIWS point defence system would do the job just as effectively.
When tested in 2021, Bozdogan did not have data link capability. But was planned to have it when it was time for serial production. Also LOAL (Lock On After Launch) capability will be imparted to Bozdogan, increasing its engagement range. Having a comprehensive off-boresight firing capability, Bozdogan can be a very effective WVR AAM. (Ability to shoot at targets that are not in pilot’s angle of vision.)Does Bozdoğan Datalink capability?or next gen Bozdoğans will have?
I think current Bozdoğan has queuing system apart from SUNGURs. Computer could calculate possible target position and send Bozdoğan over to target, isn't it?
Datalink capability !GÖKSUR uses the BOZDOĞAN missile, developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE and updated according to the air defense needs of naval platforms, as an interceptor missile. GÖKSUR Close Air Defense Missile System is being developed in the product family setup and offers a solution with three different configurations with a modular design approach.
-Multiple Target Interception Capability,
-stand alone and/or Platform Integrated Operation,
-terminal guadiance with data link

Which is basically these turrets from Aselsan but with Sungur instead of Stinger:No, it is too heavy but it can be mounted on light 4x4 vehicles which might make it a hell of a SHORAD.
Which is basically these turrets from Aselsan but with Sunger instead of Stinger:
For now stinger.And Sungur in the future.What’s in the box?
Ey ASELSAN Ey Roketsan, Please decide the final solution. There are Gökdeniz ER, LEVENT and now GÖKSUR!!
İt seems there is no rolling missile with microwave seeker.

You can notice the shaped cells for fins of Bozdoğan missiles.
Allaam yapıp yapıp duruyorlar, birini de bir gemiye koysalar artık.
Anyway Great news.
There is one more detail here: the launch sequence of sea mines and air-launched torpedoes takes place at low altitude and low speed. With this type of system, the minelaying platform does not need to fly over a strip many times and all of the mines can be released in one go, and the minelaying aircraft does not even need to overfly the minefield. Aircraft can mine at a safe distance and at medium/high altitude. If we can integrate the same type kits into lightweight torpedoes, our maritime patrol aircrafts' deterrent capabilities can take a leap forward.
