Defense Ministry of Turkey ordered new anti-aircraft self-propelled guns

39
The Turkish Defense Ministry completed the tests and ordered from Aselsan a batch of self-propelled Korkut anti-aircraft systems, reports Warspot with a link to the resource janes.com.



The number of machines ordered is not specified.

According to the resource, the first prototype Korkut system, consisting of two Korkut SPAAG combat vehicles and one C2 command vehicle, was supplied by Aselsan to the Turkish ground forces in October 2016 of the year. Then the Defense Ministry announced plans to purchase 2020 combat vehicles and 40 command vehicles up to 13 of the year.

“The Korkut system will consist of one command machine and three anti-aircraft installations. A fire control station with a surveillance radar (range - 70 km), as well as a day / night optical-electronic station will transmit data about the targets to the SPAAG anti-aircraft installations. The anti-aircraft gun is an ACV-30 tracked chassis on which a turret armed with a paired 35-mm automatic gun, as well as tracking radar (range 30 km) and an optical-electronic station designed to capture targets in all weather conditions, are mounted. ” stated in the material.

C2 command machine

The combat vehicle turret is equipped with an automatic ammunition supply system. This allows for 15 seconds to switch from high-explosive incendiary shells to tracer (TR-T) and air explosive ammunition.

The Korkut system is designed to destroy low-flying targets - aircraft, helicopters, drones and rockets.

        Why panic? The Turks did not say that they are arming themselves against you. Or do you, Rabinovich, know something that we do not know? wink

        Israel simply does not breathe evenly towards Turkey, they had a big tear.
        true and towards Iran, Israel does not breathe evenly. and towards Syria. and generally the side of the Arabs.
        I’m thinking maybe the problem is not in a bunch of countries, but in one? I'm talking about Israel.
        but the Turks of something really began to rearm. Yes, and everyone is trying to do it at home.
        I hope that it turns out they have sucks.

      "It is necessary to stop arming Turkey."
      They are arming themselves. By the way. Why are you worried ?. Turks (and Turks) never had problems with Jews and always treated them well. It is strange to observe the hostility from a Jew to the Turks (Turks). The Arabophilism of Erdogan is not an indicator of the true attitude of the Turks towards the Jews.

      By the way, in the course of history, the Turks have repeatedly saved the Jewish nation from complete destruction.
      Relations deteriorated after the MAVİ MARMARA incident, which carried humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

    Hmm ... but wasn’t it easier to buy Cheetahs from the Germans? The same 35 mm, only the guns of the "German" are located on the sides of the tower, and not in the center.
    It's funny that the Germans half a century ago did the Cheetah exactly for the same thing, for which the Turks have now made their Korkut - to replace the old American M42 ZSU that were in service with them.

    it is not clear why this system is needed. The guns will work for a maximum of 3-4 km. In turntables, the affected area is up to 10 km with a guided projectile. If they cover the radar, then the system will generally shut up. stupidly. It is not for nothing that all other countries are doing individual-guided missile-cannon systems. Consider built Shilka-2. And her time in air defense has already passed.

      Do not shut up. But it will have big problems with target detection - because the combat vehicle will lose the data of the surveillance radar and will be forced to search for targets offline.
      The command machine provides only visibility and target designation. A firing radar + optoelectronic system is on a combat vehicle.

      Another thing is that it would be better to take the surveillance radar to a separate car - for all the gifts will arrive precisely in its antenna.

        In battle conditions it is important to know exactly the general situation - to decide what and in what order to shoot down. In conditions of a mishmash from one’s own and other’s goals, and at such a range with a minimum flying time, to seek and aim individually is an unrealistic task.

        Do not squinting (tea is not the nation's gene pool), this machine has an export potential, and accordingly it can be purchased by Saudi Arabia, and accordingly it can be burned by the Hussites during the hostilities between parts of the Saudi army and the Hussites ...

    When there is competition, it’s good. This indicates a lively market, especially if there is an opportunity to find technology. Israel’s reaction is predictable, but it’s already a hot topic.
