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

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 Strateg

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 CharacteristicsThe Khorramshahr-1 and Khorramshahr-2 mode

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 StatusThe missile’s development began in the early 2000s

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. Rocket

YILDIRIMHAN is the first intercontinental ballistic missile developed by Türkiye’s Ministry of National Defense R&D Center. YILDIRIMHAN, unveiled in Istanbul in 2026, has a range of 6,000 kilometers and a speed range of Mach 9–25.The system, developed with liquid propellant, uses Nitrogen Tetroxide / Diazot Tetroxide (N₂O₄). YILDIRIMHAN, equipped with four rocket motors, can carry a warhead weighing 3,000 kilograms. With these capabilities, it is a strategic ballistic missile system offering

SOM-J, a precision-guided air-to-surface munition designed for deployment on internal weapon bays or underwing stations of aircraft, is intended for use against heavily protected land and sea targets.【1】 In recent years, the SOM-J Cruise Missile, one of the most significant projects of Türkiye's defense industry, has drawn global attention through its domestic and national development initiatives. Representing a major success story, SOM-J demonstrates Türkiye’s advancement in modern warfare tech

Bozdoğan is an 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 an beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Bozdoğan was specifically developed for use in close air combat (dogfight) scenarios.Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan Missiles (Defence Türk)" image-alternate="" image-element-format="justify">Developm
