SIPER-1 LONG-RANGE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM HAS ENTERED THE INVENTORY OF TURKISH ARMED FORCES

The deterrent power of the Steel Dome, the SİPER Product-1 System, has entered the Turkish Armed Forces inventory. SİPER Product-1, ASELSAN’s long-range air defense system, provides effective long-range and high-altitude defense, strengthening Türkiye’s goal of fully protecting the country’s borders with domestically developed systems. SİPER System will be able to engage aerial targets such as fighter jets and cruise missiles, as well as air-to-ground munitions. SİPER Air Defense System has the ability to operate with 8 FFS, each of which can fire 6 missiles.

Development work continues on the SİPER Product-2 system, which will have even more advanced capabilities. The Long-Range Regional Air Defense System, SİPER Product-1, which has entered the Turkish Armed Forces’ inventory, will serve as a powerful deterrent against strategic targets and air assaults.

ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol shared the news on his social media and mentioned: “We have brought to our country a system that only a few countries in the world have been able to develop. We will continue to work towards a fully independent defence industry with even greater effort.”
