Roketsan, which participated in the fair with its missile and ammunition solutions, exhibited the full-scale version of the LEVENT Close Air Defense Missile, which it continues to develop, for the first time.
LEVENT Missile, developed for close air defense of naval platforms against all kinds of air targets, especially anti-ship missiles, has a range of 11 kilometers and a weight of 70 kilograms. The 128mm diameter missile uses a dual-mode seeker head consisting of Passive RF and Imaging Infrared Seeker (IIR).
