“SAHA Expo, one of Türkiye's largest defence, aerospace industry organizations, is a showcase where our National Technology Initiative is shown to the whole world,” says Murat İkinci, Roketsan CEO. “In the past, Türkiye was an importer in the defence industry. Now with SAHA Expo, we have the opportunity to introduce and explain the power of Türkiye, which is moving towards full independence and becoming a country that exports its products to the world. As Roketsan, we also successfully fulfil our duty, and export our products from Europe to Asia, from America to Africa.”
Standout Weapons
The next-generation ÇAKIR cruise missile can be launched from land, naval and, air platforms, The missile, which has a range of over 150 km, weighs 270 kg, measures 3.3 meters in length, and has a fuselage diameter of 27 cm. For precision strikes under all weather conditions, CAKIR is equipped with advanced mid-phase and terminal guidance systems, including infrared and RF seekers. It also features swarm capabilities, allowing coordinated attacks with multiple missiles.
The lightweight MAM munitions are modular air‐launched, precision-guided weapons developed for use from military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and light‐attack aircraft. While the MAM-C has an operating range of 8 km, the MAM-L ‘s range is 15 km. The MAM-T munition has a range of over 30 km from an armed UAV, more than 60 km from a light attack aircraft, and 80+ km from a fighter aircraft.
The SUNGUR Air Defence Missile System, Türkiye's first Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS), entered the Turkish Armed Forces’ inventory in July 2022. The fourth-generation MANPADS is designed for short-range air defence of mobile/fixed units and facilities on the battlefield.
Major International Orders
The company, Türkiye's flag bearer in rocket and missile technologies, is among the five defence firms from the country in the top 100 list of global defence companies. Roketsan improved its position on the list from 80th in 2023 to 71 in 2024, jumping more positions than the other four Turkish companies on the list. The company is now working on the development and testing of a hypersonic variant of its Tayfun Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM).
In August this year, Roketsan signed a strategic agreement with Indonesia to supply the country with the SUNGUR air defence missile system, the ÇAKIR cruise missile, and the MAM-L smart micro munition. Indonesia is not a stranger to the company’s products; in November 2022, the country announced that it would purchase the KHAN ground-to-ground Ballistic Missile System and HISAR Air Defence Missile Systems.
In September last year, the missile maker won a contract to sell 108 KARAOK anti-tank guided weapons to Malaysia. The system is capable of engaging and destroying armour and fortified bunkers at a distance of 2-4 km. The KARAOK’s weighs less than 16kg and its diameter is 125mm diameter. The system, which incorporates an armour-piercing tandem warhead, offers both direct and overhead strike modes with a fire-and-forget mode. According to reports, Roketsan will deliver the first batch of the system to the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) by early 2026.
