What people are saying
SİPER-2 is the long-range shield of Çelik Kubbe. As our layered air defence architecture is strengthened with domestic and national systems, SİPER-2’s successful firing test once again demonstrated the development of our technological capabilities in long-range air defence and the strong cooperation among TÜBİTAK SAGE, ASELSAN and ROKETSAN. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our stakeholders working day and night towards the goal of full independence in the defence industry.
