CANiK Debuted its 30x113 mm Autocannon

CANiK, one of the world's leading small arms manufacturers and a subsidiary of Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS), participated in the SAHA EXPO Defense and Aerospace Exhibition at the Istanbul Expo Center on October 25-28, with its latest products and accessories. The medium caliber 30x113 mm autocannon was also on display for the first time.

Commenting on their participation in the exhibition, C. Utku ARAL, General Manager of SYS, said, "With its recent growth in the defense industry, Türkiye is garnering much attention worldwide. We are proud of our country when we witness how Türkiye is advancing in the defense industry with each passing day and attaining a critical milestone. We are watching with interest as our country transitions to a position that minimizes its foreign dependency in this field and progresses towards full independence and exports its products to other countries. The SAHA EXPO Defense and Aerospace Exhibition also greatly contributes to promoting our Turkish defense industry both at home and abroad."

Emphasizing that CANiK exhibited many new products for the first time at SAHA EXPO, C. Utku ARAL said, "We have made CANiK M2 QCB, Türkiye's only and biggest qualified 12.7x99 mm Heavy Machine Gun, ready for use by friendly and allied countries, especially our country. In addition, the tests of CANiK M2F, the faster version of our domestic and national combat-proven CANiK M2 QCB, have been finalized, making the new member of the CANiK M2 family ready for duty. We have made a significant investment in manufacturing medium caliber machine guns, which are crucial for naval, air, and land platforms, by acquiring the British business "AEI Systems," which manufactures 30x113 mm autocannons and is among the top five in the world in its field. We are also excited to exhibit our 30x113 mm autocannon, which we call VENOM LR 30, for the first time at this exhibition."

ARAL: "We keep a close eye on all developments in the global defense industry."

C. Utku ARAL said the following about the VENOM LR 30 autocannon, which made its debut at SAHA EXPO: "It is possible to utilize VENOM LR 30 30 30x113 mm guns with reduced recoil in a variety of platforms, including 4x4 and 8x8 vehicles, tracked vehicles, naval platforms, and air platforms. The 30x113 mm guns, which can be used as both armor-piercing and high-destruction explosive ammunition, can function as a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher, and a single weapon can easily perform the tasks of two weapons so that it can be utilized in all land, naval, and air vehicles. We are one of just five producers worldwide and the sole company in Türkiye capable of producing this product. Additionally, we can integrate various systems for 30x113 mm guns since we have an ecosystem with our subsidiaries UNIROBOTICS and UNIDEF. We have developed the TARGAN turret for the 12.7 mm gun for the Turkish Naval Forces Command under HAVELSAN, the main contractor. Now we are introducing the TRAKON 30 remote-controlled turret, which is the version of this turret compatible with 30x113 mm guns. As you know, we recently displayed the TRAKON 30 integrated into Nurol Makine's EJDER YALÇIN 4x4 vehicle at a fair held in the UK and received positive feedback. With the 30x113 mm VENOM LR 30, we anticipate additional growth in our export figures. We keep a close eye on all developments in the global defense industry. We at CANiK are also putting great effort into unmanned land vehicles. We aim to establish a solid reputation in the following years with our 30x113 mm gun system, VENOM LR 30, in both manned and unmanned vehicles."
