They will probably sell it to a country that was interested to purchase S-400, i doubt that Turkey would sell them to the US.

There are for sure terms in the S-400 deal that forbid us selling the system to the US they just try to put more fuel into Turkish-Russian disputes.

Finally, the smallest member of the family also came. These MANPADS will be somebody's nightmare.

In another forum, @Nutuk stated that this FLIR is from Star Safire. What's up with Aselsan?

Probably, we can also see the naval launcher soon. Aselsan has already solutions such as MILAS(LMM Missile Launching System) and BORA(Pedestal Mounted Air Defense System), which they can adapt them for Sungur MANPADS.

Maybe because our own solutions don't have as wide a FOV as FLIR. ASELFLIR 400 has max 27° FOV compared to 40° of Star Safire 380 HD. For an air defence system, larger FOV would be preferable.
