18 December 2022 Murat İKİNCİ
Çakır, one of the missiles that will provide important operational capabilities to the Turkish Armed Forces, is counting the days until the first shot, while Siper Block-1 is ready for duty.
ROKETSAN General Manager Murat İkinci made a statement to the AA correspondent about the cruise missile Çakır, which can be launched from land, sea and air platforms, and the long-range high-altitude air defense system Siper.
Expressing that Çakır started as one of ROKETSAN's own R&D projects, second said that they had a very good cooperation with Baykar on this issue.
“Our teams continue to work with all their might to reach our target at the end of the year. We do not see much risk in making the first shot of the missile. We plan to shoot successfully at the end of the year with a few days of play.” said.
Expressing that Çakır will be one of the game-changing missiles on the battlefield with the development of its capabilities and technologies, especially multi-engagement and sensor fusion, which will be the first target as of next year, second said:
Çakır Missile
“Çakır is a smaller missile than Atmaca. Especially the use of UAVs, multi-platform land vehicles, sea vehicles, mobile batteries, and the ability to attack all of them at the same time on a single ammunition gives us great flexibility in ammunition diversity. We consider that there will be a certain level of matching and conjugation in the ammunition used by the Naval and Air Forces, and this will bring great advantages in terms of logistics. There is no delay in Çakır's schedule, he is going according to his schedule."
Emphasizing that the export potential of the Çakır missile is very high, Murat İkinci said, "There are many countries that are interested, and our work in cooperation with them is progressing rapidly." he said.
“There are no obstacles ahead of us”
Indicating that they have successfully fired the Siper Blok-1 missile and that the project continues by putting it on, second said, "Our goal is for the Siper to land on the field at the beginning of next year and to reach a stage where it can serve the Turkish Armed Forces with all its functions structurally." shared his knowledge.
Siper-Block-I-Missile
Expressing that ROKETSAN is responsible for the Siper Blok-1 Project and that they are doing their part, second said:
“Siper is a very important program for our country. Because it will be the system that will form the backbone of our high-altitude, long-range air defense system. Here, in the first place, a range of over 100 kilometers is aimed from Blok-1 missile. The Block-2 missile, a monoblock designed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, is currently targeting a range of up to 150 kilometers. When we bring these and these capabilities together, we will have implemented a system that can respond very well to the high-altitude long-range air defense needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.
Here, ASELSAN, TÜBİTAK SAGE and ROKETSAN are acting with a very good cooperation model. Everyone is doing their best to implement this system as quickly as possible, under the coordination of our Defense Industry Presidency. At the moment, we can say that there is no obstacle in front of us technically, technologically. Everyone continues to do their best so that 'this system can land on the field' as soon as possible."
