Turkey has successfully test-fired its high-altitude long-range air defense missile system, Siper, a top defense official said Saturday.

Different tests of the domestic air defense system, which is planned to enter the army's inventory in 2023, will continue, Ismail Demir, the head of Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), tweeted.

He said Turkey will continue to produce new weapons and will have up to six different air defense systems.

The Siper project is led by Turkey's defense giants Aselsan, Roketsan and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBITAK)'s Defense Industries Research and Development Institute (SAGE).

Developed to protect strategic facilities against enemy attacks within the scope of regional air defense, Siper will allow air defense at long range and in the protection of distributed architecture.



Besides Siper, which is expected to rival Russia's S-400, the Korkut, Sungur and Hisar air defense systems are also in place, systems set to outline a layered air defense for the country, as mentioned several times by the officials.

In this context, the first delivery within the scope of serial production of Korkut systems was carried out in 2019, and the pedestal-mounted air defense system Sungur was also put into service.

Developed by Roketsan, Sungur will be integrated in land, air and sea platforms with its portable feature.

The air defense system has the capability of shooting while moving, along with effective target detection, diagnosis, identification, tracking and 360-degree shooting capability day and night.

Sungur is ahead of its class in terms of effectiveness, high maneuverability, high target-hit capacity and countermeasures. It is equipped with a titanium warhead and has sighting capabilities allowing the target to be viewed from a long range.

While the deliveries of the low altitude air defense missile system Hisar-A missiles have started, the mass production of the Hisar-O missiles have also begun. The interception range of the Hisar-A system is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles), while that of the Hisar-O system is 25 kilometers. Siper, on the other hand, is intended to be at a level that can compete with the S-400.

In March, the Hisar-O+ medium-range air defense system, the upgraded version of Hisar-O, successfully completed a test firing, which was the longest range and the highest altitude test conducted in the country to date. The air defense system is expected to destroy all kinds of air threats created by fixed and rotary winged aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and air-to-surface missiles in adverse weather conditions.
 
150 km range missile can't be a rival to the s-400
Indias xr-sam has 350 km range and is tested 2 times successfully .


Let me be honest with you siper system is not a rival to s-400 as it is multiple systems...

S-400 is dud and overrated for no reasons it is no match for multiple layered siper period... it is no rival to s-400 but rival to an entire setup of multi-layered AD systems....
 
Siper is not rival S-400 system. Siper project's aim is to reach an Israeli Barak-8 ER equivalent system.

We are also working on a system that will reach a range equivalent (or more) to the S-400 system, but will also have anti-ballistic capability.

When Siper system goes into mass production with its planned capabilities, we will also announce this project to the public.

Also, apart from all land-based SAM systems, we are planning to integrate radar and MBDA Meteor Missile equivalent very long-range ramjet Air-Air missile to Akıncı UCAV platform. Thus, Akıncı UCAV platform will be able to act as an "interceptor".

Not actually the s-400 is an amazing system. But obviously once a system comes into use of India, pakistanis would immediately think it is a dud.

No bro.. you can back-read this forum S-400 was never over top regarded by these who understand the system and it is definitely decent but it doesn't warrant the hype either

S400 is one platform while is complex network of multiple

S400 is also a sort of mix, the launchers can be configured to carry missiles anywhere between 50-400 Kms of range. Siper has a third of the range, so its more like a medium range air defence system,

No you don't understand siper is almost 6-8 systems not one

With the main business share of Aselsan, Roketsan and Tübitak Sage; an air defense system design consisting of 6-7 different layers is being working in Turkiye. All these structures will be fully integrated with all elements of the air force including forward air control and early warning installations, over HAVELSAN's real-time Warning, Command and Control System. Turkiye is creating an air defense command and control network capable of operating independently from the NATO system(MASE). Therefore, we can say that each of these projects just a piece of the puzzle. With 1 Missing(BMD), the real picture will begin to emerge after 2024.

Air Defence is a long and tough road

its also being integrated with modern Air Force is also a challenge

however by 2030 I think will have mastered the art of a Modern Air Force integrated with a Modern high altitude Air Defence
