Turkish Army Gains New Strike Capability Through SSB-ROKETSAN Deal
The Turkish Land Forces Command has taken delivery of the domestically developed ÇAKIR cruise missile through a procurement contract between the Presidency of Defence Industries and ROKETSAN. The ÇAKIR missile is designed to engage land and maritime targets and can be launched from the KARA ATMACA weapon system, providing ground units with a direct strike option. The contract marks a significant milestone in Turkey’s efforts to enhance its defense capabilities, with around 200 companies contributing to the program.
