Türkiye’s Steel Dome Reinforced as SİPER-1 Enters Service TurDef
Türkiye has added a new long-range layer Siper-1 to its national air defence system Steel Dome (Çelik Kubbe) network.
The Secretariat of Defence Industries announced that the SİPER-1 battery passed its acceptance testing. This milestone marks its formal entry into operational service. The system’s ability to detect, track and engage aerial threats under complex and demanding conditions were tested which are key requirement for modern integrated air defence operations.
Haluk Görgün, Secretary of Defence Industries stated that, the test included a scenario designed to reflect real-world airspace congestion. The system was tasked with identifying and intercepting hostile target while friendly airborne elements were present in the same engagement area. The successful outcome demonstrated that SİPER-1 can discriminate between friendly and hostile objects and execute an interception without compromising airspace safety.
