The firing tests of the GÖKSUR short-range missile system took place off the coast of Sinop, launched from the TCG BEYKOZ ship. 

The system’s interceptor missile utilizes the BOZDOĞAN-DH missile, developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE and adapted to meet the requirements of offshore platform air defence. This missile is capable of hitting a target at a range of 15 km.

The GÖKSUR short-range air defence system is now ready to be deployed with the Turkish Navy in various configurations: the GÖKSUR 100-N VLS (modular vertical launch system), GÖKSUR 100-N/StA (all-in-one system), and GÖKSUR 100-N (integrated combat control system).

GÖKSUR will enhance the Turkish Navy's defence capabilities with its 360-degree threat destruction ability, next-generation infrared-guided missiles (IIR), high effectiveness against near-surface threats, multiple kill capabilities, an artificial intelligence-based fire control system, and modular architecture that allows for easy integration with platforms of various sizes.

Additionally, GÖKSUR can operate both independently and in coordination with the platform's combat management system, specifically within the GÖKSUR 100-N/StA system.

It is important to note that Türkiye has been under an embargo on the supply of ammunition for the US-made RAM system, which is used on the MİLGEM ADA-class corvettes currently in service with the Turkish Navy.
