Koral

Turkiye's Aselsan-built land-based radar electronic-warfare system, pairing electronic support and electronic attack vehicles to detect, classify, jam and deceive hostile radars at stand-off range.

Overview

KORAL is a land-based, transportable electronic-warfare system developed by Aselsan for the Turkish Armed Forces to support suppression of enemy air defenses and wider electromagnetic attack missions. Open sources describe it as a two-part system: a Radar Electronic Support element that detects and identifies emitters, and a Radar Electronic Attack element that jams or deceives hostile radar systems. The system is associated most closely with Turkish operations in Syria and Libya, where it was reported alongside Bayraktar TB2 and Anka-S uncrewed aircraft in campaigns against Russian-made and other air-defense systems.

Aselsan and Turkish sources present KORAL as part of a broader national push to turn electronic warfare into an operational enabler for drones, precision strike and integrated air defense. The base system entered Turkish service in 2016, while later KORAL 100, KORAL 200 / KORAL II and KORAL AD references denote a modernization and successor lineage rather than clearly separated public program baselines.
