Developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, Türkiye’s long-range SOM cruise missile successfully hit its target during a test using a domestically produced turbojet engine — marking a historic milestone in national defense technology and self-sufficiency.

DeltaV’s two-stage hybrid rocket system reached an altitude of over 200 kilometers, breaking a global record for hybrid propulsion. The SSB emphasized that the achievement is a major step toward Türkiye’s National Space Program goals.

For the first time, the Turkish Air Force’s 181st Squadron successfully launched two AGM-65 Maverick missiles simultaneously at the Karapınar Firing Range, striking both targets with pinpoint accuracy.

Under a new agreement between TUSAŞ and Delta-V, Turkey will launch a domestically produced micro-satellite into orbit using a national launch system for the first time. This milestone positions Turkey among a select group of nations with independent launch capability and could significantly impact future military and missile technologies.

ROKETSAN General Manager Murat İkinci announced that the company aims for a 50% increase in both revenue and exports in 2025. The defense giant plans to expand its export network from 40 to 50 countries.

ROKETSAN has signed an agreement with Indonesia to establish a joint defense production facility for anti-ship and cruise missiles as well as smart munitions. The project aims to enhance technology transfer and strengthen local defense capabilities.

Kale Jet Motorları has signed a contract with Brazil’s SIATT for the export and supply of the KTJ-3200 turbojet missile engine, marking Turkey’s first-ever jet engine export. The KTJ-3200 powers indigenous cruise missiles such as SOM and ATMACA.

Turkey is entering a new era in cruise missile technology with SOM, Çakır, Atmaca, Kemankeş, and the mysterious Gezgin. These systems enhance UAV strike capability and strengthen the nation’s deterrence.
