The SUNGUR air defense missile, produced as a result of a project initiated by Roketsan to meet low-altitude, cost-effective air defense needs, has been delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces in a version that can be fired from the shoulder by a single soldier.
Turkish defense industry companies continue to achieve what was deemed impossible, attracting global attention with their newly announced technological systems. Turkey is making steady progress in air defense missile technology, possessing cutting-edge capabilities. In this context, a single-shoulder-launched version of the SUNGUR air defense missile, developed to create an asymmetric defense system at the lower level of Türkiye's air defense umbrella, has been developed.
Developed by Roketsan and delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces, the system stands out as the best portable air defense missile in its class with its features. With this developed air defense system, Turkey has become capable of producing another critical technology, which it previously struggled to acquire from abroad, using its own resources.
