IDEF25: ROKETSAN Enters the BVRAAM Market with GÖKBORA TurDef
ROKETSAN has unveiled its solid fuel ramjet-powered GÖKBORA as its first air-to-air missile at IDEF25 defence exhibition, making a grand entry into the market.
Due to ROKETSAN not having developed an air-to-air missile before and the presence of folding fins, the ramjet-powered missile from the teaser was thought to be a surface-launched missile. However, the unveiling ceremony has taken a twist with the missile turning out to be a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM).
During the exhibition, a deal was signed to develop the AGRAS 3101/AA AESA RF seeker for the missile between ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, and SSB. This marks the first AESA seeker to be developed in Türkiye.
AESA seekers on air-to-air missiles were first implemented by Japan on the AAM-4 BVRAAM. They saw their first action during the brief conflict between Pakistan and India, by Pakistan utilising the Chinese PL-15 BVRAAMs..
TurDef learned during the exhibition that the missile would be fire tested after IDEF25, and ROKETSAN has been working on the boron-based solid fuel ramjet technology at least since 2009. Thus, despite the sudden appearance of GÖKBORA, this could be said to have been a work of a long term.

Auf der IDEF 2025 hat Roketsan eine BVR Rakete mit Staustrahlantrieb vorgestellt, die Rakete heißt Gökbora und die angegebene Reichweite soll 180 km betragen. Gökbora ist damit das zweite Projekt der türkischen Rüstungsindustrie was die Entwicklung einer BVR Rakete mit Staustrahlantrieb vorsieht. Als Treibstoff nutzt die Gökbora einen Flüssigtreibstoff.
Das andere Projekt ist die Entwicklung der Gökhan Rakete und mit der Entwicklung ist Tubitak/SAGE beauftragt. Die Gökhan ist länger als die Gökbora, wodurch sie nicht in die internen Waffenschächte des Kizilelma UCAV passt. Im Gegensatz zur Gökbora nutzt Gökhan einen auf Gel basierenden Treibstoff
