Its not cope, its reality.
The HISAR system is optimized for specific targets, its not a Standalone SHORAD.
Only a clown judges a system based on "It’s not the 1960’s were 15km is med range.", and therefore small drones which the system is not optimized for in standalone are supposed to be engaged.
Modern SHORAD have a gun integration for drones and other optimizations that allow of standalone operation.
The HISAR system is more akin to a Buk.
yawn, tell me the difference between the sensors on the korkut and the hisar.
Roketsan literally refers to HISAR A as a shorad.
Hisar A is literally mounted on a tracked chassis, with integrated sensors and a firing solution on the same chassis. If this was the case that its not designed to be a standalone system, you would have seen a configuration similar to the Hisar O.
Infact, why are HISAR A missiles being replaced with HISAR O ones? Whats the idea behind having a lower powered radar, a lower powered EO system and a smaller command and control node all in one chassis if not for standalone ops... The mental gymnastics you're trying to play here are just silly.
Why does a gun become standalone but missiles cant?
Hisar A is nothing like Buk. Buk is literally not a standalone system, a single buk battery would require atleast 5 different components. A fire ready HISAR solution requires just one...
Just answer me this, if HISAR A is not to operate standalone, why did roketsan choose to integrate everything onto a single chassis, a solution which excels in nothing but mobility?
Its amazing, instead of lets just accept that every system struggles against these kinda threats and we need new solutions, lets bury our head in the sand and cope...
