Electronic warfare system

VURAL (REDET-II) is a land-based transportable electronic warfare system developed to paralyze enemy communications and block radio frequencies by performing high-power jamming in a wide band.

In March 2025, the Greek Cypriot news site Simerini published a report stating that the Aselsan VURAL and Aselsan STR-700 G Weapon Detection Radar placed in the Beşparmak Mountains paralyzed the radar and communication systems of the Cypriot forces on the island, rendering them ineffective.
