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.

During a test in Aksaray, the Hisar-O air defense system successfully destroyed its target. The Ministry of National Defense shared footage from the firing test.

Türkiye has officially entered the mass-production era in its defense industry with ASELSAN’s 14 new facilities and the groundbreaking of the Oğulbey Technology Base. The “Steel Dome” ushers in a new chapter in air defense.

SİPER Product-1 successfully passed its Series Production Acceptance Tests, reinforcing its place in service and advancing Türkiye’s multi-layered “Çelik Kubbe” (Iron Dome) air defense network.

Developed jointly by TÜBİTAK SAGE and ASELSAN, the GÖKSUR Close-In Air Defense System successfully completed its first live firing test at sea aboard the TCG BEYKOZ off the coast of Sinop. The test marks a major step forward in Turkey’s “Steel Dome” layered air defense architecture.

Roketsan CEO Murat İkinci announced that the AI-supported “Steel Dome” air defense system, developed with TÜBİTAK, ASELSAN, and MKE, will soon be deployed in the field.

Developed under ASELSAN’s leadership, the SİPER air defense system will complete Türkiye’s multi-layered defense with long-range and high-altitude protection.

Estonia strengthened its defense by acquiring 300 Piorun missiles and 100 launchers from Poland in a $113 million deal.
