Türkiye has approved a $6.5-billion expansion of its multi-layered “Steel Dome” air and missile defence architecture, significantly strengthening its ability to counter modern aerial threats including rockets, missiles, loitering munitions and unmanned drones. The move reflects Ankara’s broader push to build a self-reliant, export-competitive defence ecosystem.
The expanded programme will integrate a suite of indigenous systems across multiple engagement ranges. These include HİSAR-A+ and HİSAR-O+ for short-to-medium range defence, the long-range SİPER system for high-altitude interception, and upgraded early-warning radars capable of tracking stealthy, low-altitude targets. The initiative also strengthens Türkiye’s command-and-control backbone, ensuring tighter coordination between sensors, missile batteries and air-force assets.
Officials say the expanded Steel Dome will play a critical role in protecting key population centres, industrial hubs, military bases and energy infrastructure. It is also expected to enhance Türkiye’s deterrence posture amid evolving regional security challenges.
Defence analysts note that the project sets new benchmarks for integrated air defence in the region, demonstrating Türkiye’s capability to design, manufacture and deploy advanced missile-defence systems at scale. The investment is also likely to accelerate defence-sector exports, as several countries have expressed interest in acquiring components of Türkiye’s indigenous air-defence suite.
