The event took place at the Gölbaşı Campus, at the Directorate General of Special Security Operations, and was attended by experts and representatives of elite units. The goal was to showcase the capabilities and innovations of the VENOM LR, designed to meet modern demands for efficiency, precision, and reduced impact during use.
Technology and innovation
The VENOM LR stands out for its advanced engineering, which combines high-strength materials with a design optimized to minimize recoil, providing greater control and precision for the operator. This makes it one of the best options for operations that require high performance in combat scenarios.
The VENOM LR produces significantly less recoil than many other cannons using 30 mm ammunition.
The weapon can be easily integrated into lightweight compact turrets, remotely controlled weapon stations, or crew-operated systems.
Moreover, thanks to the adaptability of 30 mm projectiles to new ammunition and fuse technologies, these cannons provide much-needed firepower for small tactical units, especially against drones, lightly armored targets, unarmored vehicles, and enemies behind cover.
Thus, in terms of arming combat vehicles, the VENOM LR fills the capability gap between 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and larger-caliber automatic cannons.
According to SYS, the event marked an important step in strengthening relationships between the company and security forces, as well as opening new possibilities for the VENOM LR’s use in various operational scenarios.
