Somewhere it was mentioned to be significantly cheaper than the Italian version. In fact as we manufactured this gun, Oto Melara reduced it’s price to sell theirs to us. Oto melara’s price was 8.2 million Euros. Then they reduced it to 5.1 million which included training rounds as well. But ours was costing us 4.7 million Euros. Our ministry’s view was ; even if it cost 14.7 million it was to be locally produced. Full stop!
Super rapid Italian version has 120 round per minute firing speed. The Compact version has 85 rounds per minute speed. Ours has 80 rounds per minute.
If with Aselsan’s TAKS fire control system, this gun’s first time hit probability is high enough, does it really matter if you can fire 80 rounds or 120 rounds per minute?
Besides, the local gun will have capability to use more variety of rounds than the Italian one, and can be digitally controlled.
According to below site TAKS can handle even short range close anti air defence duties against high speed planes, helicopters and missiles.
