System composition


Korkut SSA

The Korkut SSA is the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun part of the Korkut system. Normally two or three SSA are used in conjunction with a single KKA. The SSA can also be used as a standalone vehicle with reduced effectiveness.

Korkut KKA

The Korkut KKA is the command and control vehicle of the Korkut system. It is based on the same chassis as the SSA, but is fitted with a search radar and optical tracking systems. The X-band 3D radar has a range of up to 70 km. For self-defense a 12.7mm M2HB heavy machine gun can be fitted.
