The chassis on which the SAM is mounted is characterized by high performance and maneuverability. Burc is able to track and target targets independently thanks to its advanced fire control system. The Turkish complex is resistant to EW agents. Currently, Roketsan is preparing to launch the serial assembly of the Burc SAM.
