CİRİT Missile Launched from PUSU System Hits UAV Target TurDef
ROKETSAN’s CİRİT laser-guided missile, fired from the PUSU weapon system mounted on a pickup, hit the target UAV that simulated a generic kamikaze UAV threat.
ROKETSAN shared the test video of the reworked PUSU weapon system not too long after IDEF25. The video features the demonstration of the long-serving CİRİT 70 mm laser-guided missile against UAVs as an alternative anti-air option.
In the test, a kamikaze UAV that resembles the Shaheed-136/Geran-2 in form was used. After onboard AESA radars detected the target, it was hit by the CİRİT missile with designation done by the onboard gimbal EO/IR.
Considering the demonstration, the CİRİT in the test might have used a laser proximity fuse for better chances at interception. Outside of the guidance method not being purpose-built for air defence applications, the warhead of CİRİT could be considered lethal enough for fragile threats like UAVs.
The new configuration of PUSU was unveiled during the first day parade of the IDEF25 defence exhibition alongside the new configuration of the BURÇ air defence system.
