ASELSAN’s İHTAR, EJDERHA and GÖKBERK systems successfully destroyed mini and micro UAV threats in three different test scenarios.

Roketsan is positioning its Alka laser weapon system as a critical component of Türkiye's multilayered air defense architecture. The system will form the laser layer of the "Steel Dome" and serve as the final line of defense against unmanned aerial vehicles that penetrate other air defense assets.

GÖKDOĞAN and BOZDOĞAN air-to-air missiles completed verification processes after hitting targets with precision using live warheads.

According to the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms, the Republic of Cyprus acquired 3 Tamnava multiple launch rocket systems from Serbia and 5 H145M light attack helicopters from France during 2025.

ROKETSAN's directed energy weapon system ALKA has reached 10 kilowatts of laser power, advancing from its initial 2.5-kilowatt configuration. The system serves as the final layer of STEEL DOME air defense, protecting critical infrastructure and operational units against drone threats.

The Kuzgun long-range kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle, developed by STM, made its public debut at the SAHA 2026 defense trade show in Istanbul. With a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers and endurance surpassing six hours, the system introduces a new strategic strike capability for Turkish defense capabilities.

Turkish technology company Pasifik Teknoloji announced its first defense sector export agreement for FPV kamikaze drone systems. The contract covering Merküt-branded drones along with helicopters and autonomous systems boosted the company's share price by 9.96 percent.

Turkey's largest defense and aerospace exhibition SAHA 2026 is expected to see $8 billion in defense contracts signed. The Defense Industries Presidency announced this figure represents a $1.8 billion increase from the previous edition.
