유도탄 터키, SIPER 지대공 구역방공미사일 시험발사

[위종민]

8월 26일 터키산 구역방공미사일인 SIPER가 시험발사돼 터키제 EIRS 레이더로 탐지한 밴시 80 초음속 표적기를 사거리 90km 이상, 고도 26,000피트 이상에서 격추했다고 합니다. 2021년 11월 첫 시험발사에 이은 두 번째 발사인 듯 합니다. S-400과 동등한 능력을 갖추는 것이 목표라고 하네요 

아셀산과 로켓산, TÜBİTAK SAGE(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye)와 합동으로 개발되고 있는 SIPER 대공미사일은 2023년 첫 인도 예정이며, 동시에 사거리 150km급의 탄도미사일 대응 능력을 갖추고 있는 SIPER 블록II도 개발완료 및 운영 예정입니다. 

터키는 현재 저고도 대공포 시스템인 Korkut 시스템의 양산 및 인도를 진행중이며 Sungur 차량탑재식 및 MANPADS 저고도 지대공미사일도 운영에 들어갔습니다. 저고도 지대공미사일 시스템인 Hisar-A+와 중고도 대공미사일 시스템인 Hisar-O+도 현재 제작중입니다. 

홈페이지엔 별다른 기술적 내용은 없는데, 기사에 첨부된 시스템 아키텍처 이미지를 보니 SARH나 지령유도 같습니다. 장사정형 블록II에는 시커를 박아넣을까요? 

SIPER은 지대공 미사일이지만 2027년 이후 취역할 예정인 터키의 TF-2000 차기 방공구축함의 대공미사일로도 검토중이며, 그외 또다른 후보는 EUROSAM SAMP/T 방공시스템과 통합된 아스터 30입니다.

The Turkish Defense Industry Agency (SSB) announced that the air defense missile "SIPER" was successfully test-fired at the Sinop firing range on August 26, 2022.

28 Aug 2022

The test firing of the SIPER surface-to-air missile, which will form the backbone of Turkiye’s air defense in the near future, was carried out by Turkish missile manufacturer Roketsan in cooperation with Aselsan and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK SAGE).

During the test firing, the supersonic unmanned target (Banshee 80) drone was detected by the EIRS radar produced by Aselsan, and the missile hit the target at a range of more than 90 kilometers and an altitude of more than 26,000 feet. The first test-firing of the SIPER Block-0 missile was conducted in November 2021.

The head of SSB, Ismail Demirci, shared the video of the test-launch with a video on his Twitter account.

“Our long-range air defense missile system SIPER is rising step by step. In the last test firing of SIPER, it has shown that it can engage high-speed targets at 100 km of range.”

Ismail Demir, Head of SSB

In an interview with Turkish state broadcaster TRT TV in September 2021, Ismail Demir stated that SIPER will be an S-400-equivalent air defense system and that they are working on a 5-year schedule to meet the requirements of such a system.

The SIPER missile is of great importance in meeting Turkiye’s need for layered air defense with indigenous resources. Designed to protect strategic facilities against enemy attacks as part of regional air defense, SIPER will provide long-range air defense in a distributed architecture.

In this context, mass production and delivery of low-altitude Korkut air defense gun systems began and continues to this day. Subsequently, the Sungur low-altitude air defense missile systems, launched from the portable vehicle and MANPAD, were put into service. While the first deliveries of Hisar-A+ (low altitude) and Hisar-O+ (medium altitude) air defense systems are being made, their mass production continues. SIPER stands out with its long range beyond all these systems in this layered concept.

According to the press release of SSB, under the SIPER project, which is being carried out in partnership with ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, and TÜBİTAK SAGE, the first delivery is scheduled for 2023. Subsequently, the development process of new models that can be effective against both air-breathing targets and ballistic missiles up to a range of 150 km (SIPER Block-III) will be completed and become operational.

What’s the relation of SIPER with the Turkish Navy?

Although there is no official statement, the Turkish Navy’s future TF-2000 air-defence destroyer, scheduled to enter service after 2027, is expected to be armed with the SIPER air defense system. In that case, further variants of the SIPER missile (perhaps Block-2 or Block-3) with increased range could be considered for the TF-2000.

After the U.S. broke the partnership with Turkiye on the F-35 project and imposed CAATSA sanctions over Turkiye due to the purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system, Turkiye focused on indigenous solutions for major projects. In this case, Roketsan has accelerated the development of MIDLAS, an indigenous vertical launch system, and the first delivery of MIDLAS is expected to be completed before TCG Istanbul enters service, scheduled for 2023.

MIDLAS will be able to host and launch a variety of missiles, including HISAR family air defense missiles, which form the basis of the SIPER (the former name of SIPER is HISAR-U, which stands for long-range HISAR). Therefore, the SIPER missiles fired from the 64-cell MIDLAS VLS appear to be a compatible solution for the TF-2000 destroyers.

On the other hand, Turkiye is currently in talks with France and Italy for EUROSAM SAMP/T air defence system, but there is no agreement yet. If the sides would reach an agreement, ASTER 30 missile could be another option for TF-2000.

목표가 S-400과 동등이면 혹시 S-400 도입의 주목적도 뜯어 보고 참고하려는 것일까나요?

[넷서치]

현재 시험중인 물건은 Hisar-RF라는 기존 Hisar 미사일 디자인을 기반으로 rf 시커 탑재하고 사거리를 늘린 물건에다가 Atmaca 함대함 미사일의 부스터를 달아놓은 물건입니다. 본래 Siper라고 이름이 바뀌기 전에는 Hisar-U라는 이름이였는데, 이러한 이유에서가 아닌가 싶네요. 본문에서 설명한 블록 2는 좀 미래의 얘기인걸로 압니다. 그 때까지는 터키제 국산 장거리 고고도 지대공/BMD 미사일이 없을 것이기 때문에 S-400이나 패트리어트 같은 체계를 해외에서 도입할 필요가 있고요.

다만 말씀하신 기술습득 측면에서 봤을 때에도 T-LORAMIDS 사업 당시 기술이전을 요구했기 때문에 그러한 목적이 없지는 않았을겁니다.

설명 감사합니다. SARH도 기본적으로 미사일이 수신기 역할을 하는 bistatic 레이다여서 스텔스 표적을 상대로 할 때는 더 좋을 수도 있다고 영국 크랜필드 국방 대학교에서 만났던 연구자가 얘기하네요.

레이더 외형만 보면 FCR은 Flaprid처럼 서방의 포대단위 MFR에 해당하는 것 같고, 러시아 S400처럼 대대단위를 지원하는 장거리 Survailance radar가 따로 붙는 것 같습니다. 미사일은 TVM이나 ARH 같구요.
