The first firing of the SİPER Product 2 Air Defense Missile was successfully carried out. GUARD Product 2 Missile has a maximum range of 150+ kilometers.
The Turkish defense industry continues to work on the SİPER Long-Range Regional Air and Missile Defense System (UMBHSFS). After the SİPER Product 1 missile with a range of 100+ kilometers, the first firing of the SİPER Product 2 with a range of 150+ kilometers, which is the second missile to be used in the system, was carried out successfully.
With the first test activity, it is aimed to collect data about the SİPER Product 2 Missile under flight conditions and to use this data within the scope of activities to be carried out in the later stages of the project. On the other hand, SİPER UMBHSFS is planned to enter the Turkish Armed Forces inventory this year with the SİPER Product 1 Missile.
SSB President Görgün said the following in his assessment of the project:
“The first fire test of Siper Product-2 was successfully carried out at the Sinop Test Center. I congratulate ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, TÜBİTAK SAGE and all our subcontractors who contributed to the project.”
Within the scope of the SİPER Project, studies on the acceptance activities of the Product-1 system are carried out, while the System/Subsystem Development and Test Phase of the Product-2 continues in parallel. SİPER Product-2 has the same ground systems (radars, command and control, missile launch system, communication systems) as Product-1, and the Product-2 missile is effective at a longer range and altitude.
