Turkish Air Defence Programs

[Bubblegum Crisis]

Unlike Sapan, they are either under development or may be on their way to key breakthrough.

"A Chinese defense contractor may be on its way to key breakthroughs in railgun weaponry."

"The enlargement of the hull was conceived in order to provide a necessary growth space for advanced naval weapon systems that are currently under development in Japan, and will be incrementally added to the ships' arsenal as they are developed -- such as railguns and laser point-defense systems."

Slowly, slowly… SAPAN is just a prototype (it's good) but nothing else.

“The electromagnetic guns, especially railguns, are expected to make these researches with much higher velocity (more than 10km/sec) possible. The railgun accelerator system was set up in the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) in 1986, having more than 10km/sec with 1g projectile as a goal. The energy source is a 300kJ capacitor bank. The maximum velocity so far is 2.4km/sec at 108kJ with 2.4g projectile and 1.8m barrel.”

Looks like Turkey making only prototypes.
Most of projects only prototypes

I agree woth u .LAWS system also till now nothing new

Turkey is the land of prototypes, didn't you know that ?

Turkey will not be strong nation unless it takes its decisions independent of NATO(HQ9 airdefence)

The first system of Korkut SPAAG delivered to Turkish Army. . . Prototipçilere duyurulur ! ! !

Probably prototype vehicles could be delivered to army

Turkish army acquires new locally made air defense system
DAILY SABAH
ISTANBUL
Published 19 hours ago
KORKUT, a domestically made air defense system manufactured by defense contractor ASELSAN, was commissioned by the Turkish Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry announced.

The weapon system jointly produced by ASELSAN and local private contractor FNSS provides defense against air-to-surface missiles, aircrafts, gunships and armed drones. It is accompanied by a three-dimensional mobile search radar and will be used for armored units. Consisting of a stabilized weapon tower, it has mobile firing capacity, automatic selection of ammunition, automated targeting and electro-optical sensors. A description on ASELSAN's website says the system is composed of three 35 mm gun systems and one command control system that can operate fully autonomously.

The commissioning of KORKUT comes at a time of elevated security threats against Turkey, especially near the border with Syria where Turkey faces a spillover of violence from the war-torn country. Some Turkish media outlets reported that the system would be deployed in Kilis, a province on the Syrian border that has been subject to almost daily rocket attacks by Daesh on the Syrian side in the past few months.

" defense against air-to-surface missiles, aircrafts, gunships and armed drones."

Patriotların yaptığı işi yapar anlamına mı geliyor?

Nope, bro. If you compare both systems' range and altitute you will understand.

More over it offers limited protection against aircrafts, gunships, armed drones.

For instance operational altitute of an armed drone is approximately 20.000 feet and Korkut's range is 4 km (actually max altitute for Korkut's bullets should be lower than that.) So, it's pretty much impossible for Korkut to engage armed drones as they are mostly MALE class, (some tactical class)

It's good for point defense.

So it is possible to detect a missile within 4kM and destroy it even when it is fired from a distance out of range? ( I hope the response time of our weapon systems is short enough to do so)

Anyhow, still better than nothing.
I respect the engineers who made it..

 

[UkroTurk]

KORKUT system works with two radar.
First : seperated searching radar,
second :vehicle mounted tracking gun radar.
According news KORKUT radar can search and detect 30km , but guncan engage from 4km.

That depend on many factors, but it can definitely take out cruise missiles. i'm not very sure about Ballistic missiles and ATGMs.

Turkey awaits Russia's offer in missile system procurement process
Turkey's long-known desire to purchase a long-range air missile defense system has been a hot topic since 2013 and speculations that began to swirl among defense industry followers when Turkey held talks with the French-Italian consortium Eurosam regarding the SAMP/T Aster 30 missile defense system are mixed with surprise following a statement by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, which indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently discussed the possible supplying of Russian air defense systems to Ankara on Oct. 14.

Turkey is expecting an offer from Moscow regarding the purchase of a Russian S-400 missile system in what could be the culmination of Ankara's long-awaited procurement process for the purchasing of a long-range air missile defense system, a high-level source told Sabah newspaper.

The high-level source who spoke under the condition of anonymity told Sabah newspaper on Oct. 1 that Ankara is expecting an offer from the Kremlin and is currently playing the waiting game in the final stages of a lengthy procurement process towards the multi-billion dollar purchase of a missile defense system: "In October, Russia said that it could sell the S-400 missile system to Turkey and we responded by saying we would be very happy to consider the offer. However, we are still waiting to see the details of the offer," the source said.

Ankara is aware that as a NATO member the possible decision to purchase a Russian missile system is likely to raise concerns in the alliance. ''Obviously we are aware that procurement of the Russian missile system may spark tensions with NATO and there is an integration issue. However, we may decide to go along with the Russians unless our Western partners change their unwilling stance on technology transfer and co-production,'' the source said. ''A delegation from Thales was in Ankara recently and I clearly expressed that Turkey desires to work with them and suggested to revise their price and technology transfer policy,'' the source added.

Russia's offer for S-400 missile systems is expected to be received by Ankara in the coming days and apart from the price itself, the technology transfer and joint production details will be important factors in Turkey's decision to give a final decision about the procurement process.
