ROKETSAN Tests In-Flight Target Switching on SİPER Product-2 Long-Range Interceptor
ROKETSAN demonstrated in-flight target switching with its SİPER Product-2 long-range air-defence interceptor, redirecting the missile to a different target after launch. ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE contributed to the test, which assessed a capability intended for Türkiye’s Steel Dome layered air-defence architecture. Product-2 is the longer-range member of the SİPER family, with ROKETSAN listing a 150 km range, while the earlier Product-1 has already entered the Turkish inventory. The firing represents a development demonstration rather than confirmation of Product-2 operational deployment, and detailed telemetry, retargeting timings and engagement conditions were not released.
