Turkish army begins to receive short-range anti-aircraft complex Korkut

Turkish Armed Forces began to receive Korkut short-range self-propelled artillery systems. Aselsan, a development company, has supplied the Turkish Defense Ministry with ten anti-aircraft systems. This was announced by the First Deputy Minister of Defense for the military-industrial complex Ismail Demir.

The first experimental Korkut system, consisting of two Korkut SPAAG combat vehicles and one C2 command vehicle, was delivered by Aselsan to the Turkish ground forces in October 2016. Then the Ministry of Defense announced plans to purchase 2020 combat vehicles and 40 command vehicles by 13. The system is designed to destroy low-flying targets - aircraft, helicopters, drones and rockets.

The Korkut system consists 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 optoelectronic station transmits target data to SPAAG anti-aircraft installations. The anti-aircraft installation is an ACV-30 tracked chassis, on which a tower is mounted armed with a paired 35-mm automatic gun, as well as a tracking radar (range - 30 km) and an optoelectronic station designed to capture targets in any weather conditions. The tower of the combat vehicle 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 ordnance.

The contract for the supply of 40 systems was signed in the 2017 year. Deliveries began this year and will be completed before 2022. These ZSUs will replace the obsolete M42A1 Duster. The anti-aircraft complex is floating.

Do not laugh, in the Middle East - this is a burning issue. Irrigation and irrigation - irrigation ditches, in short
The Americans in Iraq were forced to drag a bunch of pavers after themselves, otherwise the offensive would stop every 1-2 km.
And what kind of elegant dirt they create if the gates are damaged ... It will not yield to our Siberian, and in some places even worse - if the soil is clay.

Then it would be the ZPK, although it is interesting which way they carried out the air blasting of shells.

[loki565]

I wonder in what way they carried out an air blast of shells

it’s already a proven technology, they measure the distance to the target and the shell program the detonation through the identifier. time. or send a signal to the shell already in flight. It seems ours also experience such 30mm shells.

[Lexus]

It is significant that the Americans are not afraid to show the video of the tests from the Americans, but we again have a "breakfast" in a declarative manner. Not yet, but already laudatory odes. Go and spend more money on filming than on, in fact, development.

[loki565]

What is state secret? similar 125mm tank shells have long been in service with us. And for Americans, private companies make beautiful presentations for obtaining government contracts, as was the case with a super grenade launcher, but the project was safely bent.

[ProkletyiPirat]

A really illustrative example, at first they rejected 25mm, then 30mm, then 40mm, then 45mm, and in general the concept itself, and all because of the peculiarities of the expansion of fragments.

It’s not even clear what to say ..

"Either I'm dull or the woman drives me" (c)

Only large-caliber, tank shells were shown in our work. And judging by the detailed descriptions, we are talking about an optical programmer. Laser measure the speed immediately after departure and set the blasting time. For small calibers, such as 30 mm, the big question is how and where to push the optical sensor and converter there, they are not very small. The first video shows a 40 mm foreign projectile, and it is easier to program when flying out of the barrel with electromagnetic induction.

A projectile with remote detonation, firstly, depends on the transparency of the medium, and secondly, you can’t shoot in a burst, all at once they will be blown up in the air .. Although it may be as planned: (((

Not necessarily, it is possible to configure so that the photo sensor will only receive information in the first N meters and T time after the projectile leaves the barrel, and the output itself is tied to the detonation of the MVV. That is, the capsule, platoon, deferred barrel, deferred gas in front of the barrel, time for setting a timer, disabling the photo sensor, repeating the cycle for the next shot worked. Or for example, you can make a sensor for different sets of codes and encode the first shot with the first set, the second with the second, the third with the third, and by the time of the fourth (or Nth) the first will be free.

Indeed, in Russia 57 mm produced the same for anti-aircraft targets.

Well, that was in the 50s and in the USSR. And the glory of the ZSU-57-2 was by no means the ZSU. It is used to this day as an excellent tool for suppressing firing points and large concentrations of infantry. In other matters, ZU-23-2 and "Shilka" (ZU-23-4) are famous for the same. And from drones - electronic warfare, from the swarm for sure.

Prototype, no more. The fate of this car has not yet been decided, of course, articles are sometimes written, but no more. There are no RCD results yet, which means the future is uncertain. So "Produced" is still an exaggeration.

Well, we are offered a cannon complex to Kazakhstan, knowing that with the Israelis on a short leg, and ASELSAN-Engineering, there is in Astana.

I have nothing against such complexes, the question is relevance and relevance. Complex with 57mm caliber, like ZSU, I personally do not see. But how many people, so many opinions.

And what’s not bad, especially the majority of UAVs have speeds like those of airplanes at the beginning of the Second World War. Yes, and the price is almost penny. What to shoot down, only with a cannon system.

[Safer]

Quote: marshes

Most UAVs have a speed similar to aircraft at the beginning of World War II.

Only the heights are different. Cannon air defense can hardly work effectively on targets above 3km (and even 3km the effect is doubtful). A UAV now fly very high.

I confirm we used against the baboons. And they were very afraid to get under her fire, from the Babai side. Suspicious places were cleaned so that the barmalei would not start there.

I can’t believe that such a thing can successfully repel the attack of the Drones, in not very large numbers, even.

[Oquzyurd]

"I can't believe that such a thing will be able to successfully repel an attack by Drones." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5eEr0UmqMs Tests of this system. Shoot down a target at an altitude of 780 m. Target speed 700 km / h, dimensions, width 2,49 m, length 2,80 m.

There are all kinds of tests, but in fact the real "work" ...
As an additional / spare element of the complex will do.

[Incvizitor]

Without rockets, it’s not serious, rather they’ll be peeling at ground targets, like shiloh on BV.

By the way, Tor-2 copes with this, the system is quite expensive, some of the adjacent palaces cover them.

[Zaurbek]

I meant that when creating anti-aircraft guns, before this requirement was not significant, but now there is. And the caliber needs to be selected and avionics and radar. In Russia, for example, there are no art complexes with such capabilities yet. And this one also does not have such options. But the Turks lead limited conflicts and have bases ....

[Adimius38]

1100 rounds per minute for each barrel; well, it’s not enough for the anti-aircraft system; the same shell makes 5000 rounds per minute

[mvg]

Just do not fall like that. It's not about quantity, but quality. We do not have programmable ammunition. Cannot cram in 30 mm

[Adimius38]

it’s just that the matter of the number of rounds per minute also plays a significant role if we want to get a universal air defense system for destroying small-sized targets, while not having anti-aircraft missiles, if we compare Western counterparts, then less than 4000 rounds per minute is actually not good

[mvg]

How many rpm does the AK-630 make? And can this metal cutter bring down what nitb? The answer is only a miracle. Definitely not a drone or a CR. She has dispersion and accuracy, like an AK and a sniper rifle. This is compared to the Phalanx or Goalkeeper
So here, it’s better to more accurately calculate and shoot with a blast than 1000 shells in milk.

[Jerk]

and ammunition

And here it is - the most interesting. What kind of ammunition is air blasting

[7,62x54]

And will they be able to beat off flying cobblestones?

[Klingon]

and the guns look like Oerlikon GDF-005 or a modification of it))

Purely ZPK is not camille at present, for helicopters only yes for barmales, for high-altitude high-speed targets it is useless TK range I assume a maximum of 4km or even less

[Kerensky]

In theory, they should cover the columns on the march. Then everything is logical: 2-3 cars and a control machine. However, I did not observe the firing immediately and afloat.
And yes, ”the tower twirls, cutting circles in the stony desert, funny ...

[Arthur 85]

Of course, I can hardly understand air defense, but they must harness a horse and a trembling doe. There should be a network-centric complex in order to have an aggressor from 400 km to 20 m. And also to recruit complex operators from orphanages so that there are no relatives. In Turkey, this is important.

In normal countries there are practically no orphanages, children are determined by their families. If they are very difficult, they live in children’s villages as in pioneer camps until they reach the age of majority.

[Kosh]

It must be said that in the conditions of the increasing proliferation of various UAVs, including the so-called "kamikaze" UAVs (loitering ammunition), purely cannon anti-aircraft systems may well get a new breath.

[Dikson]

Isn't there a lot of -57 caliber against kamikaze drone? 30th is not enough against a plywood-plastic product?

Judging by the video from YouTube, then NOTHING!
And the rest is pure stardom about "In Normal Countries"
