Gofrixty [01 September 2025] – Türkiye produces its own missile smart system, Steel Dome. Officials have described the system as a shield against short- and medium-range rocket and drone attacks. The system is designed by engineers to defend crucial cities, bases and infrastructure.
The Steel Dome is compared by defense experts to Israel’s Iron Dome. The technology, they say, Türkiye is customizing to its regional threats. The system uses high-powered radar to track incoming projectiles and launches interceptor missiles to destroy them in the air.
Government officials are pointing to the project as a big step toward military autonomy. They emphasize that Türkiye should try to minimize dependency on foreign defense systems. They also note that the project benefits local industry, with jobs on offer and research opportunities.

Military analysts caution that regional tensions are also driving Türkiye to fast-track such programs. They cite increasingly frequent drone use and missile threats in near-by conflict zones. They state it will make Türkiye’s deterrent stronger and make the country safer.
Citizens react with mixed feelings. Some cheer the project as a testament to technological progress while others are concerned about the increasing militarization of all that. Economists also warn that big defense projects involve heavy spending that can strain the national budget.
Türkiye is continuing to test and develop the Steel Dome. Officials say the system will be gradually rolled out over the next few years. They promise that the project will shield the nation from the changing threats and lead to a stronger defense industry.
