CounterUASWorld Summary

ASELSAN successfully showcased the capabilities of its KORKUT 35 Air Defense System during a live-fire demonstration attended by defense delegations from 12 countries. The trials highlighted the system’s ability to detect, track, engage, and neutralize a wide range of threats, including fighter aircraft, cruise missiles, helicopters, air-to-ground missiles, kamikaze UAVs, and mini/micro drones. Under representative operational conditions, KORKUT 35 successfully engaged multiple UAV types, including fixed-wing, delta-wing, and small drone targets. The demonstration also featured a scenario in which the system accurately engaged a moving ground target while both the target and the vehicle-mounted system were in motion. The trials underscored KORKUT 35’s effectiveness as a mobile, cost-efficient air defense solution capable of protecting maneuvering forces and critical assets against evolving aerial threats.
