Aselsan signs $905 million deal to strengthen Türkiye’s air defense

Turkish defense company Aselsan has signed a 780-million-euro ($905 million) contract with Türkiye’s Defense Industries Secretariat (SSB) for the procurement of air defense systems.

In a statement, Aselsan said the agreement covers systems aimed at strengthening the country’s air defense capabilities.

The contract is expected to contribute to Türkiye’s Steel Dome, a multilayered air defense architecture developed under SSB coordination as a domestic “system-of-systems” project covering all air defense components.

Steel Dome is designed to neutralize aerial threats across all altitudes and ranges.
