Turkish company MKE showed its Tolga short-range air defence system to a Ukrainian delegation at a military training range in Turkey, according to Pavlo Palisa, deputy head of the Office of Ukraine's President, who led the visit.

Palisa said on November 9 that he also discussed with Turkish defence minister Yaşar Güler how to carry out agreements reached by presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and met Haluk Görgün, head of Turkey's defence industry agency.

Tolga uses electronic warfare to disable drones at up to 3 km and comes in versions with 12.7 mm guns or a 20 mm gun firing airburst ammunition. Its radar and electro-optical sensors detect and classify threats at up to 10 km. MKE says its fragmentation rounds are effective at up to 1,000 metres.
