Configuration of the vehicle can be changed to suit the operational requirements of the user. It has the capacity to carry payloads such as 150 mm guns, air-defence platforms, largescale mobile radar systems, artillery fire support, and pedestal mounted artillery and missile systems.[1]

Korkut SPAAG

edit

Designed to replace the aging M42A1 Duster systems of the Turkish Armed Forces, each Korkut system compromises of a command and control vehicle and three weapons platforms. Each weapon platform carries a twin 2×35 mm Oerlikon KDC-02 cannon, manufactured under licence by MKEK.[2] Each weapons system can fire up to 1100 rounds a minute up to a range of 4 km.[2] The command and control vehicle has an effective radar range of 70 km.[2]

The Weapon System Vehicle and Command-and-Control Vehicle configurations designed under the Korkut Project are fully amphibious and have the capability of propelling themselves in deep water and rivers.[1]

The Turkish Armed Forces has ordered 40 weapons systems, deliveries are scheduled to complete in 2022. Additionally it was reported that Pakistan plans to induct this weapon system and that Pakistan would conduct tests in mid 2017.[2]
