Turkey has signed defense contracts worth $6.5 billion to enhance its integrated air defense system, Steel Dome. The agreements involve ASELSAN, Roketsan, and HAVELSAN, boosting the nation’s self-sufficient defense ecosystem.

Roketsan’s LEVENT Close-In Air Defense System achieved a major milestone by hitting a real aerial target with full accuracy during its first guided test firing.

ROKETSAN’s long-range, indigenously developed TAYFUN missile successfully struck its designated target coordinates during an acceptance firing test.

Türkiye’s indigenously developed Tayfun ballistic missile completed another successful test. Fired from land toward a sea target, the missile struck with full precision.

Introduced at IDEF 2025, Türkiye’s container-based missile launch system enables covert firing of ÇAKIR cruise missiles, offering over 100 km range and a powerful hidden strike capability.

Roketsan CEO Murat İkinci highlighted that the TAYFUN Block-4 hypersonic missile reflects Türkiye’s advanced defense capabilities, emphasizing the need to further enhance technologies such as sensors, guidance, fuel, explosives and nanotechnology.

The first test launch of the SIPER 1-D through the national vertical launch system MİDLAS was successfully completed, giving the Turkish Navy a long-range air defense capability and strengthening security in the “Blue Homeland.”

At TEKNOFEST Istanbul, the Çelik Kubbe (Iron Dome) air defense ecosystem is showcased with its key components — HİSAR, TURAN 100 BR-OM, EJDERHA, KORKUT, and AKREP radar — drawing great attention from visitors.
