SAL seeker will allow the shell to attack even moving targets

AVCI SAVUNMA 155 mm laser guided Howitzer ammunition project

Ammunition : 155 mm Artillery
Guidance : Laser seeker
Range : 45 km

TB-2 UCAV laser designator to be used to illuminate the target for precision strike to hit enemy targets from 45 km away

EXCALİBUR costs 68.000 - 112.000 USD ...
Turkiye can produce 40 -180 km KUZGUN-KY/TJ Missile for 68.000 - 112.000 USD
GPS , INS , IIR seeker - for high precision to hit even moving targets
-- to launch from land platforms

Turkish Army has Laser guided MLRS to hit even moving targets .. ( only Turkiye in NATO )

30 km TRLG-122
70 km TRLG-230

And GPS-INS guided MLRS

30 km TRG-122
70 km TRG-230
120 km TRG-300

plus if you fire these artillery rockets from a male uav, its ranges double like iha 230 hitting a target from 140km away

unique in NATO

IHA-230 Air-to-Surface Ballistic Supersonic Missile with range of 150+ km

deadly

launching such a missile without risking a downed pilot is a great advantage

to expensive, single round cost 68k dollar.

Excalibur has been worth its weight in gold in Ukraine, highly useful and its still cheaper than Guided Rocket strikes from HIMARS. its the sweet spot between a Guided Rocket Artillery and an Artillery shell. It definitely has a use. Its been exported successfully to many countries b/c of its performance.

If we're going to hit the stationary target with pinpoint, we have long-range SAL/IIR guided artillery rockets that are suitable for that, and they're GPS-independent!

Thats more expensive than Excalibur though. And requires a separate system. the Excalibur ensures precision from the very same crew firing regular 155mm shells. They can use their regular shells, but say a situation develops where a target is acquired and it requires great precision, they can instantly switch to the different ammunition from the same artillery platform. Its been phenomenal in Ukraine. Turkey would benefit from creating a similar product, or even outright acquiring some shells if Congress permits.

EXCALİBUR costs 68.000 - 112.000 USD

Thats with US cost of labor, deployment and development. Turkey would have it cheaper if it built an equivalent.

I think Turkey can manage a NATO standard with extremely lower price tag simply due to the economics of building weapons in the West

US is a big customer of Turkish parts and munitions simply because its cheap and Turkey still exports billions to US

but what Turkey needs is large industrial scale factory's to fight a war of attrition if needs be

a manufacturing capacity that if the loses mount the Turks can stomach it and outbuild the adversary on weapons production

a tank takes alot of steal to build and also parts need to be sourced within the nation under war time

hope Turkey can not only build advanced weapons but also go the distance and scale the production to the next phase in large numbers

Not to mention cheap and plentiful, Ukraine's use of storm shadow relies on its Su24 fleet. Which are vulnerable to Russian deep strikes.
