Turkey’s MİDLAS System Tests Live-Fire Cap

Global Military Forum

Official test telemetry from Roketsan documents the successful integration and live-fire deployment of the HİSAR-D RF air defense missile from the indigenous MİDLAS vertical launch system (VLS). This naval warfare analysis details how Turkey bypassed U.S. export embargoes following CAATSA sanctions by rapidly manufacturing a sovereign alternative to the Mk 41 VLS for its newest Istanbul-class frigates.  Expert Insight: Transitioning to the active radar-guided HİSAR-D RF combined with quad-packable MİDLAS cells grants modern surface fleets high-volume saturation defense capabilities without relying on foreign source components.  Credits: Thanks to Roketsan and the Turkish Navy for publishing verified manufacturing milestones and high-definition naval weapon testing documentation.

00:00Footage captures a live fire launch of the HSRDRF air defense missile from the deck of the TCG

00:06Stambul frigate. The engagement marks the successful operational integration of the

00:10MDLOS vertical launch system, developed rapidly as a domestic alternative following U.S. export

00:16restrictions under COTSA sanctions. The SARDRF naval variant utilizes an active radar seeker

00:22for terminal guidance alongside mid-course radar updates, capable of intercepting low-flying

00:27anti-ship missiles out to ranges of 40 to 50 kilometers. By engineering a quad-packed vertical

00:32launch system that interfaces directly with local combat systems, Turkey has systematically

00:37eliminated outside dependencies for its frontline surface fleet air defense.
