The UK beat has its own APKWS missile which has been combat tested in UAE recently.

YES , Only 3 Systems in NATO

Turkiye : CIRIT
USA-The UK : APKWS
France-Belgium : FZ275 LGR

Emirati F-16s used AIM-9x to intercept Iranian kamikaze Drones

French RAFALE Fighter Jets served an active combat air patrol and interceptor role in the UAE against Iranian kamikaze Drones

and France used expensive MICA air to air Missiles to intercept Iranian kamikaze Drones

the french also have 70mm Sal guided rockets

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

Turkiye sold MKE TOLGA close Air Defense System to Qatar and S.Arabia to protect critical facilities from Iranian kamikaze Drones

Deliveries will start soon



Also , TOLGA Air Defense System secures $130 Million export deal With Egypt

the french also have 70mm Sal guided rockets

This is one from Belgian technology
and Belgian F-16s armed with this cost effective Missiles ( FZ275 LGR )

on the other hand , France is running low on MICA air to air Missiles as RAFALE Fighter Jets continue intercepting Iranian drones over the UAE

French RAFALE jets shot down more than 60 kamikaze Drones over the UAE. However, in doing so, they used up MICA missiles, each costing €600,000

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

 

[xbat]

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

 

[MMM-E]

We must deploy 2 x GOKSUR air defense Systems, totaling 40 air defense missiles, to all our air bases and critical facilities.



There shouldn't be a need for 10 HISAR-O vehicles for 60 missiles.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel using 20 x TAMIR air Defense Missiles to protect critical Facilities ( IRON DOME )

Total of 60 x TAMIR air defense Missiles to protect one area



Yes , GOKSUR or HISAR-O Missiles are expensive but They are highly advanced Missiles to intercept even supersonic Cruise Missiles

Speed : mach 4+
advanced IIR seeker
dual-pulse rocket engine

on the other hand , Israeli TAMIR air defense Missile ( is cheap $40.000 )

Speed : mach 2+
No IIR seeker
No dual-pulse rocket engine

Its speed and maneuverability are insufficient against modern supersonic cruise missiles.

 

[MMM-E]

Turkiye is not only developing air defense missiles, but also a wide variety of AESA Radars to detect the all threats

Only a few countries in the world can produce all these Radar systems.


ALP-300G long-range early warning AESA Radar was able to detect and track the International Space Station (ISS) at a range of 729 km and an altitude of 423 km in practice

Yeah very unique, Having multiple missile types in one system is not something we have seen in SHORADS.
