The company's press service reported this. Negotiations on cooperation between the companies started back in 2021 at the IDEF-2021 exhibition in Istanbul. The Ukrainian Luch did not stop operations with the full-scale invasion of Russia: the company continued working on integrating its own weapon systems into the Turkish product.

At IDEF-2023, the Turkish company Best Grup presented a modification of the Koralp 12.7 Dual UKSS RWS. The modification allows the use of RK-3? (HEAT) and RK-3OF (HE-Frag) missiles of the Corsar anti-tank missile system. "Soon, our enterprises plan to complete the tests and hope that the firepower of such combat modules will bring our Victory closer," the Luch Design Bureau shared.

The Koralp module can be equipped with NATO-standard caliber of 12.7x99mm or Soviet 12.7x108mm machine guns. RK-3? and RK-3OF missiles provide damage to heavily armored equipment at a range of up to 2.5 kilometers.

This is not the first time that the Luch DB integrates its anti-tank weapons into combat modules of Turkish production.

ASELSAN and Luch DB previously presented the remote weapon station Serdar, which was developed by order of Qatar.

Militarnyi previously reported that the Turkish-Ukrainian Serdar combat module received a contract for 38 million dollars.
