The test was carried out under a demanding operational scenario in which manoeuvring friendly and hostile aircraft were present simultaneously in the airspace. This scenario validated the system’s performance under realistic operational conditions.
With the successful firing, acceptance activities covering all battery elements of SİPER 1 were completed. These elements include the Fire Control Center, Fire Control Radar, Missile Launching System, and the Missile itself.
The battery-level firing was conducted without the Fleet Control Center and the Search Radar, while still successfully testing the radar, command and control, and fire control capabilities of ASELSAN. The firing verified the system’s long-range interception capability and confirmed its operational maturity as a core element of Türkiye’s integrated air and missile defence architecture.
