Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır stated that the air defense systems within the Steel Dome framework are active, Tayfun is in serial production, and Türkiye’s national defense capabilities are rapidly strengthening.

Rising missile and air defense expenditures in the war with Iran are rapidly depleting critical US munition stocks, fueling debate in Washington over cost and sustainability.

The United States has approved a $930 million defense sale to Sweden, including 20 HIMARS launchers as well as GMLRS and ATACMS munitions.

The first BR71-based corvette built for the Angolan Navy has been launched, standing out with advanced weapon systems, air defense capability, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır announced that the Steel Dome Project will be completed and Turkey will further enhance the range and speed capabilities of its missile systems.

Prof. Dr. Faruk Yiğit said Türkiye is strengthening its deterrence capacity through national missile projects, with new systems entering service and more advanced programs under development.

Türkiye is developing indigenous ballistic missiles with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers as part of efforts to strengthen its deterrence and defense capabilities, Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır said.

Several advanced weapons systems were used operationally for the first time in the Iran-US-Israel conflict. Kamikaze drones, new ballistic missiles and AI-guided strike systems have drawn global attention.
