This radar is now perfect for the Hisar class OPV's (more like light frigates but whatever) or even the new FAC.
Strangely enough, no trace of Gökdemir on Aselsan website. It is as if they've scrubbed it. It is available on Tubitak's site though:
New delivery of AD systems planned for next week. One Siper battery, one Alp 100-G radar, Hisar-A "systems" and modernized 35mm guns. This is just 3 months after the last delivery back in late August.
If we extrapolate this, it would mean that they've now achieved an annual production rate of 4 Siper batteries, 6 Hisar-A/O batteries, 4 Alp 100-G. Alp 300/310-G annual production rate should be 4 as well if for every 2 Siper batteries=1 Alp 310-G.
This is more I expected and the production rate will increase when the "Ogulbey" facility is operating.
CEO of Aselsan stated earlier this month that they'll deliver 100 components next year for the "Steel Dome".

I've learned that Turkey is developing two long-range air-to-air missiles, Gökdoğan-Er and Gökhan. However, there are very few public reports about the former. So has it been abandoned? Considering that Turkey needs to equip a large number of low speed UAV with these missiles, I think choosing a ramjet missile would be more reasonable.
Only Gökhan-ER if you can even call it that, is officially known. What some still refer to Gökdogan-ER was a phase-II development to increase the range to 100+ km from the original 65+ km. Either that is still under development or it became the default Gökdogan. I'm leaning towards the latter.
And there are 3 different ramjet AAM under development: Gökhan (got its range increased), Gökhan-ER (an even longer ranged Gökhan) and Gökbora (solid-fuel).
