History of HISAR Missile defense system:

On April 18, 2007, the Turkish Presidency of Defense Industries initiated the T-LALADMIS program, seeking proposals from both domestic and international defense companies to fulfill low to medium altitude air defense requirements. Following responses from 18 companies, a request for proposal was issued on September 28, 2008, for the acquisition of 18 systems, with options for an additional 27. Initial missile tests for Hisar-A in 2013 and Hisar-O in 2014 paved the way for the production phase. Aselsan was eventually awarded the contract as the prime contractor on June 20, 2015, with sub-contractors including Tübitak Sage and Meteksan Savunma. The contract encompassed a low-altitude system valued at 314.9 million euros and a medium-altitude system (T-MALADMIS) valued at 241.4 million euros. Subsequent successful tests in December 2017 demonstrated capabilities such as steep-trajectory firing and 360-degree protection. In September 2020, improved versions, Hisar A+ and O+, were introduced, with plans announced for a 100 km variant, Hisar-U, preceding Siper.

Radar information regarding HISAR-A:

  • ASELSAN Mobile Search Radar is a 3D radar designed for mobile air defense weapon systems with modern radar technologies such as active phased array antenna, digital beamforming and solid state transmit/receive modules. MAR, which can quickly detect, track and classify low-altitude air targets as rotary or fixed wing, also has the ability to create an air picture.

Not to Italy, add it but not to Italy. They have nothing to do with it. USA would be better

+1 for US TT

Why U.S if i may ask?

US has very few options for future SPAAs. So turkish vehicles can fill the gap. Also there’s no suitable TT for Turkish domestic vehicles.

+1 for a Turkish tree
Not sure why it would go to Italy in the slightest, that tree can seemingly just claim anything…

I too would support turkish tt but it just seems lacking in aviation. So i thought that the 2nd best would be italy as it doesnt even have a proper missile aa system and that their top tier AA gets beaten by 2s38 in a lower br, but thats just my opinion :')

how?

Proximity shells and the lead indicator :') It just doesn’t seem fair in my own opinion to have a vehicle that can do what otomatic can in a smaller battle rating

Why USA of all nations doe ? They had almost no part in the development of the thing ?

I wanna play my Turkish vehicle in a good tech tree, not Italy lol

Turkey should no go for USA or Italy (actually there is not a single tree in game that makes sense to get Turkey) so either as independant tree, or go for israel cause they share a lot of stuff (planes and tanks) and cause Israel tree is very empty
But it should be an independent tree for sure, they have to much stuff to be a subtree

Beat me to it mate yet I’m happy as that is a very well made suggestion, history of the platform is also very well written, appreciate the effort. That’s definitely +1 from me to Turkish Tech Tree, neither Italy nor USA has nothing to do with HİSAR.

Let me share some more information you might want to incorporate/fix into your suggestion;

  • There should be two missiles, HİSAR-A and HİSAR-A+

    • HİSAR-A
      • Maximum Range: 10 Kilometers
      • Maximum Altitude: 8 Kilometers

    • HİSAR-A+
      • Maximum Range: 15 Kilometers
      • Maximum Altitude: 10 Kilometers

  • Both HİSAR-A and HİSAR-A+ has proximity and impact fuses.
  • HİSAR-A’s fire control system and radar has ability to engage multiple targets and successive firing.
  • ACV-30 is re-designated as ZPTP/ACV-AD (Zırhlı Paletli Taşıyıcı Platform/Armoured Combat Vehicle-Air Defence)
  • ZPTP/ACV-AD has access to Driver’s Night Sight
  • ZPTP/ACV-AD weighs 30,8 tons

As I’ve mentioned those numbers are little off, you may want to fix them and add both HİSAR-A and HİSAR-A+ to the suggestion. Again, great work

Few more eye candy for those interested

This translates to Armoured Tracked Carrier Platform

Thats the literal translation yes, but FNSS’ English designation is ACV-AD

İf you have any questions about Turkish stuff be it research or translation I can help , I am from Türkiye 👍
