Exhibition SAHA EXPO Hybrid 2021 in Turkey. ASISGUARD's SONGAR armed drone system. A drone with a video camera, sight, machine gun and grenade launcher. The note.
In the announcement about the SAHA-2020 exhibition, those who wish, could read that the aerospace cluster - the second in Europe and the largest in Turkey - will be presented at this exhibition. ("Defense and aerospace exhibition SAHA EXPO 2020 is organized by Turkey's largest and second largest aerospace cluster in Europe" [unofficial translation] - https://www.expoclub.ru/db/exhibition/view/saha-expo/)
Many events happened during the year.
There is information about SAHA EXPO 2021 - Defense and Aerospace Exhibition.
"SAHA Istanbul Defence and Aerospace Cluster, Turkey's largest cluster with 645 members, is organizing SAHA EXPO Defence and Aerospace Hybrid Exhibition on 10-13th November 2021 at Istanbul Expo Center, Yesilkoy, Istanbul in-person / live, and Virtual Exhibition between 15th of November 2021 and 15th of February 2022 online.". (https://www.jetro.go.jp/en/database/j-messe/tradefair/detail/110554)
SAHA EXPO 2021 "with over 600 exhibitors, showcasing the latest technologies from 25 countries, in a 40.000 Sqm area, will bring all the players including;
manufacturers,
buyers,
hosted international official delegation from the United States, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia,
suppliers of industrial inputs,
suppliers of components, subsystems, systems, and platforms,
designers of the industry,
research and training institutes,
industrial associations,
technical cooperation agencies,
institutions,
NGOs
media,
other stakeholders from the world, in Defence, Aviation, Naval and Space industries with trending technologies and the latest capabilities." (https://www.sahaexpo.com/about-saha-expo/)
At SAHA EXPO 2021, in particular, the Turkish company ASISGUARD is represented.
This company sets the task of developing and producing not only individual (seperate) drones - but the SONGAR armed drone system - a weapon system for conducting asymmetric warfare.
What, for example, could a specific drone be?
SONGAR automatic machine gun, integrated into the grenade launcher [40mm grenade launcher], remote control, sight.
It assumes "the ability to conduct in-house image stabilization, moving object tracking, object recognition and classification algorithm designs using artificial intelligence and big data technologies" (https://asisguard.com.tr/en/news/turkeys-first-national-armed-drone-system/)
A particular drone can perform many critical tasks, such as as target area detection, threat neutralization, post-operative damage detection and real-time image transmission. SONGAR ... can operate simultaneously with a single or multiple drone system, integrated automatic machine guns and grenade launchers...(https://asisguard.com.tr/en/news/turkeys-first-national-armed-drone-system/)
"Until now, Songar has been exported to two countries, and negotiations with three countries have come to the signing phase." (https://rossaprimavera.ru/news/4079b550?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop)
It was not possible to find information about the participation of Russia and about samples from Russia (at this exibition) when writing this note. Some information appears, for example, about nuclear submarines, about hypersonic missiles ... For obvious reasons, it is difficult to present them to the exhibition. And it is not so easy to look at them ... Not every country is able to acquire them - for various reasons, for example, because of their high cost.
There is every reason to believe that at the next exhibition (SAHA EXPO 2022, or similar) new systems of effective weapons with great export potential will be presented. Perhaps some foreign policy events will help to form an idea of the practical applicability (effectiveness) of the corresponding weapons.
SAHA EXPO 2021 is an interesting event that confirms both an increase in the general level of technical culture in Turkey and a high level of ability to organize trade in foreign markets.
