OUR SKYLAND CAN BE PROTECTED IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY
“Our regional air and missile defense system, SİPER, developed with local and national resources, is a critically important project that will meet our needs in this field with its long-range capability. It is also important that the HİSAR missile, which will be used in the SIPER system, be developed to the maximum extent possible with our domestic and national resources.
Thanks to our HİSAR missiles, the first tests of which were successfully carried out; The effectiveness and response of our SIPER system against air targets will increase. With these products, our Air Force's urgent system needs will be met and our Sky Homeland will be protected in the most effective way. To ensure the security of our country on land, at sea and in the air, and to protect the rights and interests of our noble nation; Increasing the number of such important projects and including them in the inventory of our heroic army is not a choice, but a necessity.
Based on the aphorism of our national poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's poem, we are always ready to use our chest as a shield to prevent scoundrels from attacking our country, while at the same time, we are taking our defense capacity to stronger levels by producing weapons and systems such as "SIPER".
No one should doubt that we will write new achievements worthy of our ancestors in the golden pages of our history in line with our Turkey Century targets, and that we will make the second century of our Republic the "Century of Defense Industry".
As a result, our Ministry of National Defense; "We will continue to work shoulder to shoulder with our public institutions, foundations and private sector companies, and universities for a sustainable domestic and national defense industry ecosystem."
Görgün: SİPER 'the best for now'
SSB President Görgün stated the following in his speech at the Signing Ceremony:
“With ASELSAN-ROKETSAN-TÜBİTAKSAGE Business Partnership; Within the scope of the SIPER Project, which we initiated with the aim of developing an effective air defense system against high altitude and long range air-breathing targets, cruise missiles and air-to-surface ammunition, we started the acceptance activities of the Product-1 system under the responsibility of ASELSAN-Roketsan. We will deliver our systems to our Air Forces Command in mid-2024. With the Signing Ceremony we held today, we are starting mass production of the SİPER Product-1 System.
On the other hand, we used the opportunities and capabilities of many domestic defense industry companies within the scope of the Design and Development Term-1 Contracts of the HİSAR-A and HİSAR-O Projects ongoing between our presidency and ASELSAN. We delivered the systems for which we completed the design, development and qualification activities to our Land Forces Command in 2021. With the contract we will sign today within the scope of the HİSAR Mass Production Project; Our Air Forces Command will also be involved in the project.
The air defense issue is a matter of survival that we, as the defense industry, should focus on the most. Thanks to these systems, it will be possible to preserve the achievements and infrastructures our country has achieved in every field. Never forget this; Our HISAR and our SHELTER are the best only “for now”. We will continue to work day and night for systems that extend to the space level and contribute to our dominance and deterrence there. As our esteemed President stated before; We will come to the point where we will "sell air defense systems" to those who do not give us air defense systems with various excuses.
I hope that both of our projects, which will support our strong image of Turkey on the field and at the table, will bring good things to our country, and I congratulate those who contributed.”
