Siper 1 Achieves Full Autonomous Battery Firing Test TurDef
Siper 1, Türkiye’s indigenous long-range air and missile defence system, has successfully carried out its first autonomous battery firing under the control of the Turkish Air Force at the Sinop Test Range. The test, held on 16 November 2025, marked a new threshold for the country’s multi-layered air defence architecture, known as the “Çelikkubbe” (Iron Dome).
The firing involved only battery-level components of the system: the Fire Control Centre, Fire Control Radar, Missile Launch System and the full-capability missile itself. The scenario included simultaneous friendly and hostile target aircraft to validate Siper 1’s autonomous decision-making, tracking and engagement functions under realistic operational conditions.
