President of Turkish Defense Industries Ismail Demir released a tweet on 12th October that indigenous made Hisar-A low altitude Anti Air Defence system built by ROKETSAN, HAVELSAN and ASELSAN companies completed tests by destroying air targets successfully. He also mentioned that mass production is about to start.
