Türkiye's domestically designed and produced long-range air defense system Siper missile has successfully completed its serial production acceptance tests, the country's defense industry secretary said Wednesday.
"Siper, which undertakes high-altitude air defense missions, has further solidified its place in the inventory with successful tests. This development represents a critical milestone in Türkiye's layered air defense architecture," Haluk Görgün wrote on the NeXT Sosyal platform.
The Steel Dome, established with national solutions at low, medium, and high altitudes, is becoming stronger every day, he noted.
"Siper is becoming one of the most strategic security shields of the Sky Homeland with its range, precision, and effectiveness against a variety of targets," Görgün said.
He added that their goal is to establish a completely domestic and national air defense network that leaves no gaps in the face of any threat.
