Under the contract signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries and ASELSAN, a test firing of the quadruple TOLUN Ammunition was conducted from the SADAK-4T Platform. In the test, an F-16 aircraft took off from the 401st Test Fleet Command in Eskişehir and carried out four TOLUN Ammunition shots simultaneously at targets in the test range in Karapınar.
ASELSAN’s TOLUN achieves pinpoint accuracy, hitting eight targets in a single sortie!
In the firing conducted from an altitude of 35,000 feet at a range of 30 kilometers, four different targets were hit with precision and complete accuracy. Thus, for the first time in Turkey, a successful quadruple firing test was carried out with the SADAK-4T Platform and TOLUN Ammunition, enabling simultaneous attacks on eight different targets in a single sortie.
ASELSAN CEO Ahmet Akyol stated that with the successful test, Turkey has added another success to its achievements in the defense industry. Akyol emphasized that TOLUN provides the Turkish Armed Forces with game-changing, effective, and deterrent capabilities, saying:
“We have provided our Army 🇹🇷 with a game-changing capability that exists in very few countries in the world. With the ASELSAN TOLUN Guided Ammunition, which strengthens the deterrent power of our Air Force, the capability of hitting up to 8 different targets with pinpoint accuracy in a single sortie has been achieved. With TOLUN Guided Ammunition, all targets were hit with high precision from different angles in the multi-shot fired from long distances.
With our national platform system SADAK-4T and the cost-effective and high saturation effect against air defense systems, TOLUN will be equipped with more advanced capabilities. With this shot, we have once again proven that we push the boundaries in advanced technology.
We take pride in providing our fighter aircraft with unique capacity with the TOLUN Ammunition developed by ASELSAN engineers. With TOLUN, we provide our security forces with a significant tactical advantage in the destruction of strategic targets with high precision. We will continue to develop our national systems like TOLUN and work tirelessly in all areas for the security and future of our country.”
ASELSAN’s original engineering product, TOLUN, can be launched from air platforms through the SADAK-4T Platform. Offering cost-effective solutions, TOLUN can be used against moving and soft ground targets. With pinpoint accuracy of less than five meters, TOLUN provides critical deterrence against potential threats.
