Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan inaugurated Turkey's new integrated air defense system, the “Steel Dome,” on August 27, marking a significant milestone for the country's defense capabilities, according to officials. The launch took place at the Ankara facilities of defense contractor Aselsan. Authorities highlighted the system as an essential step forward for Turkey's defense industry, presenting it as a symbol of national strength and the beginning of a new era in air defense.
The Iron Dome is an air defense system that was reportedly designed to deter "short-range threats." The most famous Iron Dome system is Israel's, which was primarily funded by the United States. Since the system became operational in Israel, other nations have sought to get their hands on their very own Iron Dome.
