To be clear, the company working on the project was aspi̇lsan, right?
Regarding Batteries, Aspilsan may be involved. But for the AIP system it was GURBAG with STM working together.
But quite likely Spanish input may be sought.Current Reis Class utilises acid batteries. But going forward Li-Ion may be a choice if we can make sure about the safety issues.

Aselsan’s VURAL EW system has been operational in Cyprus and causing havoc for the Southern Cypriots.
It is connected to the TRS-22XX long range early warning radar system with 500km range that is positioned at 888m elevation to cover most of Eastern Mediterranean seaboard in line with Blue Homeland concept.
Vural working in conjunction with the 500km range TRS-22XX radar and STR-700G radar system that identifies threats and works as fire control and positioning of enemy artillery and mortar systems, so that enemy positions can be taken out by relaying vital coordinates to necessary weapon systems.

We don't know if we've placed any AD systems for protection do we ?

Would it make sense to have small version of Vural like independent satellites, which has shorter range, but would work if it's necessary to move Vural from a stationary position ?

I was thinking of effective range of 80-100 km directional.

We have TB2s stationed at Cyprus. There is a potential military presence of 40K strong, even though the numbers are nor disclosed. Cyprus is effectively a war zone with a long ceasefire in place. It would be naive of us not to place a layered defence system in place.

Vural is not stationary. The TRS-22XX early warning radar is. I am sure that the TRS-22XX too is well protected. Also having Aesa panels, it wouldn’t be that easy to lock on to it’s position especially with a mobile Vural being active in the area.

Bro, at what altitude are you thinking of placing those satellites?
If you place them at less than 36000km they will not be in synchronous orbit. This means the satellites will not always have full coverage. You would need thousands of satellites like starlink.

At 36000km altitude you can not expect to apply EW.

I didn't mean like real satellites, but more like smaller and more difficult to spot radars.

Irrespective of their sizes, if they are in orbit around the earth, they are satellites and are visible especially if they are emitting RF.
In general, EW with microwaves in 4GHz to 8GHz and 8GHz to 12GHz are the way to jam and attack other electronic machinery.
The stronger and closer the signal generator, the more effective is the result. To create the desired effect you need large power sources. Hence large units. Also you need to take in to account the amount of signal dispersal. The further your generator away from the earth, the bigger the antenna has to be to cover a target area. (We are talking in terms of thousands of km of antenna diameter to hundreds of meters to affect an area of few hundred metres on earth).
Micowaves are great to transmit over long distances audio, video and communication signals. They give High-speed data transmission like 5g and WAN and are suitable for long distance communication. But they need precise alignment and are affected by weather factors.

He means satellite as in modularity, like something that works independently but stays connected to a main system, i know it's not used commonly, but it's a word used sometimes in that manner.
