MILDEN is Turkey's first indigenously designed submarine — the ~2,700-tonne Atılay class, in block construction at Gölcük since January 2025 with a methanol-reformer AIP and Turkish weapons. Delivery is promised for the early 2030s; nothing is yet in the water.
The Roketsan Bora is Turkey's combat-proven tactical ballistic missile — fired against PKK targets in 2019, the first Turkish BM used in anger, and exported to Indonesia as the Khan: the first Turkish ballistic-missile export, deliberately sized under the MTCR threshold.
The TAI T929 ATAK-2 is Turkey's Apache-class heavy attack helicopter — flown in prototype form in April 2023 on Ukrainian engines, then paused in 2025 for a utility-helicopter priority. Its future hangs on an indigenous engine that doesn't yet exist as hardware.
The Siper is Turkey's indigenous long-range SAM — the 100+ km top tier of the "Steel Dome" network, built after the S-400 purchase froze Ankara out of Western systems. Block 1 is operational, Block 2 (150+ km) is in test, and Blocks 3/4 promise missile defense.
The Roketsan Tayfun is Turkey's longest-range ballistic missile — revealed by a 561 km test in 2022, in mass production since 2023, with the enlarged Block-4 marketed as Turkey's "first hypersonic missile." Range claims span 280 to 1,500 km; only the demonstration is certain.
TCG Anadolu is Turkey's flagship — a Juan Carlos I-derived LHD reinvented as the "world's first drone carrier" after the F-35B expulsion. Bayraktar TB3 drones fly from its ski-jump deck, struck sea targets in NATO's Baltic exercise in 2026, and Kizilelma is meant to follow.
The Bayraktar Kizilelma is Baykar's jet-powered combat drone — the self-styled "unmanned fighter" that scored the claimed world-first UCAV beyond-visual-range air-to-air kill in November 2025, entered serial production before any US CCA, and is designed to fly from TCG Anadolu.
The TAI KAAN is Turkey's indigenous fifth-generation fighter — flown in prototype form in February 2024, contracted for its first 20 production jets in May 2026, and already exported: Indonesia signed for 48. Its schedule still hinges on US-supplied F110 engines.
Turkey’s man-portable quadcopter loitering munition — embedded machine-learning autonomy, swarm-capable, and the world’s most cited alleged lethal autonomous weapon system.
Turkey's heavy-strike twin-turboprop UCAV — a 24-hour HALE platform that carries cruise missiles, air-launched ballistic weapons and an AESA radar, and the cornerstone of a 16-country export franchise built on aggressive co-production offers.
Turkey's first indigenous main battle tank — a 65-tonne design derived from South Korea's K2 Black Panther, now entering service with the Turkish Army, featuring a 120 mm smoothbore, the Aselsan AKKOR active protection system, and a powerpack initially sourced from Hyundai.
Turkey's game-changing MALE armed UCAV — a low-cost, piston-engined platform that reshaped conflicts in Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine, proving that a cheap, recoverable drone can dominate the battlefield when air defences are absent.
