Well we don't need you for that, we have Berkant. ARe you berkant?:-)
 
Golden Cage C-RAM SAM: (?) (Iron-Dome equivalent)
İt's totally a new stuff.

Hisar N is also uncomprehensible.
Replacing HAWKs with HİSAR-N??? Why will they produce Hisar U-O-A?
What is Hisar-N?
:)
 
WOW! never expected that HISAR-U is "finished" 2021/2022.

If all these projects are finished and ready, Turkey has maybe the best defended Airspace.

Korkut-D: Under trials

First stage completed successfully (for surface and low speed targets).
In May, trials will be executed for high speed targets by using matched target drones.
 
3 different vendors, 3 different stains, 3 different ideologies.
Russian system can kill NATOs aircrafts, American system can kill Russian systems but doesnt kill greek or NATO's systems.
French system kill some NATO's aircrafts.
Ultimately, Lets buy from 3 different countries then.
Air defense systems dont need maintenance and service like aircrafts .There is no need to worry about diversity.

The ammunition for the systems might need to be replenished as they have a certain shelf life IIRC. So one of your suppliers (depending on the political climate) might decide to not supply your systems anymore.

Taking that in account as well, apart from creating a system that you can also arm yourself diversifying AA systems looks like a great option.
 
Would it be correct to assume that Ukraine would be able to deliver missiles to Pantsir if we got those from Russia ?
