Turkish Air Defence Programs

[Bismarck]

By 2023 Turkey will have accumulated a very advanced, multi-layered air defense system ready to tackle just about every threat.

High altitude/Anti-ballistic defense

• Hisar-U
• Aster 30B2
  
• S-400
• Nike Hercules (will definitely be retired by then)

Medium altitude

• Hisar-O/Nokta/Deniz
  
• ESSM
• Hawk XXI
• Rapier (if not retired by then)

Low altitude

• Hisar-A
• Hisar MANPAD/VSHORAD
  
• KMS/Stinger
• Igla
  
• Korkut SPAAG

You always forget your most important and active air defense system. Air Force (F-16, AWACS...)

You always forget your most important and active air defense system. Air Force (F-16, AWACS...)

Indeed, experts claim often that F-16s are our sole protection against BM's. But was it ever tested under real conditions ?

In fact, that is very true! our most important and active air defense system is and will be our Air force assets. And I guess Although, undeniably it is fundumetly under the catagory of Air deffence, (ballistic) Missile defence concept should be considered seperatly. This is simply why a concept like Missile defence by itself exists anyway.

im not an expert but why they testing in 5km.i was thinking hisar-o max altitude will be higher.

I remember hisar surpassed this attitude in the previous test, So they might focus on other parameters in this test.
