They can easily increase the number of missile launch cells per vehicle to 8. As 4 is too less.

KMC-YALMAN can carry 8 CIRIT Missiles

It is unique in NATO


GURZ multi purpose tactical Air Defense System

1 x 35 mm Gun with ATOM air burst ammunition
4 x SUNGUR air defense Missile ( 8 km )
4 x GÖKSUR - modified BOZDOGAN air to air Missile ( 15 km )
1 x KANGAL Jammer to disable micro/mini UAVs electronically

4 AESA Radars for 360-degree detection




GÜRZ is unique in its ability to deploy three layers of hard-kill/soft-kill solutions from a single truck

• A heavy 35mm cannon utilizing ( ATOM ) smart airburst ammunition
• Short range IIR Missile (SUNGUR).
• Higher altitude, high-maneuverability interceptor (GÖKSUR).
• Soft-kill electronic warfare (KANGAL jammers), allowing the vehicle to blind Drones without wasting physical ammunition

looks like its latest firing tests, almost ready to service,
my concerns are

-it looks so complicated, "all in one" makes it expensive and maintenance addicted
-i hope they they can replace bozdogan with an economical missile(levent or smthg else), AA missiles are expensive, look at russians they fire a blind missile to targets why we cant?
-it has two different E/O sytem on board

anyway i am thirsty to see it in service, go aselsan go
