At the Eurosatory 2024 exhibition, the Turkish company presented new developments in the field of air defense and electronic warfare

Ahmet Akyyol, head of the Turkish defense company Aselsan, presented his company's comprehensive multi-level air defense solutions at the international exhibition Eurosatory 2024, which is currently taking place on the outskirts of the French capital. The Turkish company also presented its latest developments in the field of electronic warfare, enemy detection systems and communications.

In the context of the development of unmanned technologies and the widespread use of UAVs Defense is one of the most important defense systems. Aselsan engineers have developed the Skydome system, which is designed to provide reliable protection against various air threats, including swarm attacks drones and loitering munitions. The system includes early warning radars and means of destroying air targets at both short and long ranges.

These multi-layered air defense systems consist of many components. One of them is the 35-mm KORKUT self-propelled gun, developed to replace the outdated M42A1 Duster systems of the Turkish Armed Forces.

The Korkut system consists of one control vehicle and three weapon platforms, each equipped with a coaxial 35 mm Oerlikon KDC-02 cannon, manufactured under license by MKEK. The weapon system can fire up to 1100 rounds per minute and hit targets at a distance of up to four kilometers. The combat control vehicle has an effective radar range of up to 70 kilometers. There are both tracked and wheeled versions of the Korkut.

According to the head of the Turkish company, the defeat drones-kamikaze and loitering munitions using such air defense systems is a much more cost-effective solution than the destruction of such targets rockets Air defense.

Well done. Is there a test video? Well, so that a group of such installations can produce a certain number of different drones.
Let's say 500 shots per barrel. What is the probability of hitting a target in combat conditions?

Turks are actively looking for new businesses. They were tired of sitting on tourists and tomatoes and suddenly decided that they were an advanced country in the production of weapons. Because-o-o-o... they decided so. Before this, a cheap glider was given to everyone as a wunderwaffle, now the anti-aircraft gun has been invented for the second time

Because they dared to be rude to the Americans. They were clearly shown their place, but since they can’t buy it, they have to do it themselves

Which once again proves how advertising and marketing rule the world and the minds of even the military. And they don’t do it themselves; they don’t have a full-fledged military-industrial complex. Most likely it is a thing assembled piece by piece from various European components and with American software. There is an opportunity to shove it into the countries of the 3rd world and Ukraine - it’s the same as taking it. It's all about credit money that you don't have to pay back.

I was the only one who thought that at FAS she looked like our Shilka. Even the radar canvas is the same round.
I'm sure she was the prototype. We removed the 23mm quad mount, installed a 35mm Oerlikon KDC-02 cannon, which has remote detonation, and voila.

According to the head of the Turkish company, the defeat of kamikaze drones and loitering ammunition

How is target designation carried out for this barn?
The drone is made of plastic and carbon fiber. Metal parts include batteries and motors. What is the EPR?
What is the reaction time of the system when flying a quadcopter at an altitude of 400 m? Will he not get into the dead zone of the barn?
Sincerely

I think it's time to thoroughly modernize the 30 mm 2A42 and use fresher gunpowder, and reinforce or strengthen the barrel to reduce vibrations and polish the ammunition to perfection, 35 and 37 mm will not provide such a density of fire, but it's time to implement a 30 mm projectile with remote detonation...
