Laser guidance technology is a high-precision targeting system that plays a critical role in detecting and eliminating targets in modern combat zones. Thanks to this system, missiles can effectively strike tanks, armored vehicles, structures, and even mobile black/air targets. The laser guidance system operates by marking the target with a laser and detecting the reflected laser energy through a sensor on the munition. First developed in the 1960s, this technology has evolved through various def

Tayfun Missile is a land-launched, short-range ballistic missile system developed in Türkiye by ROKETSAN. The system is defined as a weapon system that operates in a land-to-land role with a ballistic flight profile. It operates based on coordinate guidance and belongs to the tactical and short-range ballistic missile class. The Tayfun missile can achieve hypersonic speeds to evade air defense systems and demonstrate resistance to electronic jamming. It is designed to be effective against Strate

Hurramshahr (Khorramshahr) is a liquid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) system developed by Iran. This missile emerged as part of Iran’s long-term missile development program aimed at enhancing its military deterrence capacity. First publicly unveiled in 2017, Hurramshahr has since been developed into various configurations, including variants such as “Khorramshahr-2,” “Khorramshahr-3,” and “Khorramshahr-4 (Kheibar).” Technical Characteristics The Khorramshahr-1 and Khorramshahr-2 mo

Rocket and missile systems are weapon systems of high strategic importance within modern defense industries, typically capable of reaching targets at long ranges and high speeds. Although both systems are based on similar technological principles, they differ functionally. Rockets are generally unguided, while missiles are guided systems capable of homing in on targets. Rocket is a propulsion vehicle that carries its own fuel and moves through thrust force along a predetermined trajectory. Rocke

Bozdoğan is a within-visual-range air-to-air missile system developed by Türkiye. It was developed under the Göktuğ Project led by TÜBİTAK SAGE (Defense Industries Research and Development Institute). The other component of the project, Gökdoğan, is designed as a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Bozdoğan was specifically developed for use in close air combat (dogfight) scenarios.

RT-2PM2 Topol-M (NATO reporting name: SS-27 "Sickle B", Russian system designation: RT-2PM2 or RS-12M2), is the first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system fully designed and developed by the Russian Federation after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Serving as a key element of the strategic deterrence doctrine, the system is based on a solid-fuel, three-stage propulsion architecture and has a range capacity of up to 11,000 kilometers.【1】 The primary motivation behind its developme

9M730 Burevestnik (Russian: Буревестник, meaning “storm petrel”, NATO reporting name: SSC-X-9 Skyfall) is a cruise missile developed by the Federation with nuclear propulsion and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Due to its unlimited range enabled by its fuel capacity, it is described as “effectively having unlimited range.” The project is being developed for the Federation and remains in the testing phase. Test Records and Operational Status The missile’s development began in the early 200

Wernher von Braun, as one of the 20th century’s most controversial and influential engineering figures, built a career that began with ballistic missile technologies developed in Nazi Germany and extended to the United States’ human mission to the Moon. He left behind a complex legacy shaped by the tension between his technical genius and his ethical responsibilities. ### Childhood Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun was born on 23 March 1912 in the Prussian region of Germany into an ar
