00:00Turkey's newly delivered Hysarca short-range air defense system conducts a live-fire test,
00:05with its mast-mounted radar tracking a target before a vertically-launched missile
00:09accelerates cleanly toward interception. Developed by Aselsan and Roketsan, Hysar-A provides
00:14mobile point defense against drones, helicopters, cruise missiles, and low-flying aircraft out to
00:20around 15 km, forming the lowest layer of Turkey's steel dome network. This first delivery to the
00:26Turkish Air Force most likely strengthens airbase protection with a domestically-built,
00:31radar-integrated SAM ready for initial operational deployment and greater long-term self-reliance.
