Turkey’s multi-layered air defense system Çelik Kubbe, developed with domestic technology, is advancing with the capabilities of its missiles. Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır shared moments when the Çelik Kubbe missile SİPER-2 changed targets while in the air.
The new test firing video of SİPER-2 created excitement. Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır shared on his social media account the moments when SİPER-2, launched toward the target, changed targets while in the air, and congratulated the success of the missile, which he called the long-range shield of the Steel Dome.
“OUR LAYERED AIR DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE HAS BEEN STRENGTHENED WITH DOMESTIC AND NATIONAL SYSTEMS”
Stating that SİPER-2’s destruction of its new target, updated during flight after being fired, once again demonstrated the development of Türkiye’s technological capabilities in the field of air defense, Minister Kacır noted in his post: “SİPER-2 is the Long-Range Shield of the Steel Dome. While our layered air defense architecture is strengthened with domestic and national systems, SİPER-2’s successful firing test once again demonstrated the development of our technological capabilities in the field of long-range air defense and the strong cooperation between TÜBİTAK SAGE, ASELSAN and ROKETSAN. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our stakeholders working day and night with the goal of full independence in the defense industry.”
