Official live-fire footage published by Roketsan documents a successful CİRİT C-UAS missile interception from the highly agile PUSU weapon platform. Debuted at SAHA Expo 2026, the modified CİRİT features an RF proximity fuse and specialized anti-drone flight algorithms to hard-kill Group 2 low-altitude UAVs out to 5km. Mounted on a light 4x4 utility vehicle equipped with Echodyne AESA radars, this Turkish-made system provides a low-cost, high-precision alternative to expensive surface-to-air missiles for short-range layered air defense.

Expert Insight:
By modifying an existing, mass-produced 70mm guided rocket infrastructure rather than designing a brand-new surface-to-air missile from scratch, Roketsan achieves an exceptional economy of scale

00:00In this footage, Rokitsan's newly unveiled KART CUAS missile variant executes a flawless
00:05hard-kill intercept during a live-fire demonstration from the mobile PUSU weapon platform.
00:10The clip showcases a 4x4 pickup truck rapidly tracking an aerial drone target,
00:15delivering a lethal counter-drone strike in open terrain.
00:18Originally engineered as a low-cost 70mm helicopter-launched laser-guided rocket,
00:23Rokitsan has evolutionary adapted the KART architecture specifically to address low-altitude,
00:28asymmetric Group 2 unmanned aerial threats.
00:31The Air PUSU-C configuration integrates a highly mobile remotely-controlled turret,
00:35with four ready-to-fire canisters, and a sophisticated sensor suite,
00:39utilizing Ekadine's advanced ASA metamaterial radars,
00:42alongside an electro-optical or infrared gimbal, for precision target acquisition.
00:47To secure a high probability of kill against small, fragile loitering munitions,
00:51the adapted missile is fitted with a specialized high-explosive warhead,
00:55modified flight control algorithms, and a radio-frequency proximity fuse.
01:00This tactical combination allows the system to engage low-flying targets out to a range of 5km,
01:06filling a critical capability gap between electronic jammers and multi-million-dollar air defense missiles
01:11by providing a cost-effective, guided hard-kill layer at the tactical edge.
