The company is also displaying the Sungur air defense system, the Levent close-in air defense system, the domestically developed vertical launch system Midlas, the Cakir cruise missile, the KMC tactical missile launch system and the BORA weapons system.

Murak Ikinci, chief executive of Roketsan, said on the sidelines of the event, which opened Monday, that DIMDEX is among the company’s most important strategic platforms in the Gulf region.
