Turkey launched Gürz 150 air defense system: why the complex is better than a praised "shell"
Developed as a hybrid platform, Gürz 150 combines several types of weapons: the system is equipped with a multifunctional radar of AESA, a complex of electro-optical targets, as well as a system of recognition "your own-famous" (IFF). This allows Gürz 150 to detect, track and strike goals without external targets. An important feature of the complex is the integration of the means of HR.
The Gürz 150 is equipped with a Kangal system capable of stuffing drone control signals, as well as Gökberk laser weapons designed to destroy low -size UAVs and enemy optical systems. The platform is based on the wheel chassis of 8 × 8, which provides high mobility and the possibility of fire on the go. The Gürz 150 can act both independently and in the departments of air defense, where one machine acts as a team point.
The main analogue of the Turkish system is the Russian complex "shell-C1", which combines anti-aircraft missiles 57e6 (12 pcs. ) And two 30mm gun 2A38m. According to experts, the Russian complex with a range of damage to 20 km had problems with the detection of small drones and requires modernization to improve efficiency. Gürz 150, in turn, uses a multi -level approach to air defense, combining means of direct damage and HR.
