Turkish defense firm Roketsan successfully destroyed a moving target during a first test firing of its Sungur air defense missile from a mobile armored vehicle.
The test marked the addition of a new firing capability to Türkiye's layered air defense architecture, the company said in a statement.
A video released by Roketsan showed Sungur missile being integrated into the Burç mobile air defense system, before striking a moving aerial target.
Burç combines Sungur missiles and a 20/30-millimeter cannon with active and passive sensors to engage current and future aerial threats on the battlefield.
Roketsan describes the system as a next-generation, cost-effective mobile air defense solution designed to provide the firepower and operational flexibility required against a range of threats.
It is intended to protect mobile and fixed military units and facilities in both forward and rear areas against short-range aerial threats.
The Sungur missile has a range of more than 8 kilometers (around 5 miles) and is designed for shoulder-launched air defense missions. It can also be integrated with different platforms.
