ASELSAN General Manager Ahmet Akyol made special statements to Defence Turk within the scope of the World Defense Show (WDS) Fair, which was held for the second time in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, between 04-08 February 2024. In this context, Akyol stated that the GÜRZ air defense system developed by ASELSAN will be introduced to the Turkish Armed Forces inventory.

Making special statements to Defence Turk, Akyol used the following statements:

“Air defense has an important place in ASELSAN’s activities. We brought our GÜRZ air defense system here for the first time. We exhibited it outside Türkiye after the IDEF’23 Fair. We brought the system itself. We have introduced all our products, from KORKUT to SİPER, to end users. We are working on close and very close air defense systems with the relevant authorities here. I find the fair successful in terms of showing the level Türkiye has reached.

We bring together several competencies in GÜRZ’s concept. We have our KORKUT system in inventory. We have a HİSAR system. There is SUNGUR developed by our ROKETSAN. The main purpose of GÜRZ is to be mobile. It also provides very close air defense with its KORKUT equivalent 35 mm ammunition. With the SUNGUR, HİSAR, BOZDOĞAN and GÖKDOĞAN missiles on board, we offer a bunch of competencies on a mobile basis in the same system. It also has an electronic mixing system. We have a very advanced search radar. We have systems behind it such as fire control radar, fire control system, laser range finder, friend or foe identification system. GÜRZ is a system that selects the most effective weapon against different targets with a smart algorithm and can engage at close range. The first shots were fired. Currently, efforts are ongoing to include it in the Turkish Armed Forces’ inventory. We will add it to our army’s inventory within a few years. It’s a game-changing system.”
