Türkiye announced plans on Tuesday to form an indigenous multi-layered air defense system that features a network-centric and AI-supported multi-platform-integrated shield across large swaths of land, seeking to provide an impenetrable defense over Turkish airspace.
That would crown years of investments that have helped Türkiye transform from a nation heavily reliant on equipment from abroad to one where homegrown systems meet almost all of its defense industry needs.
For years, Ankara has voiced frustrations over its Western allies' failure to provide adequate defense against missile threats despite Türkiye being a NATO member. It eventually took delivery of the advanced S-400 missile defense system made by Russia, a cooperation it hoped could help it develop its own defense program.
