Turkiye unveils its first intercontinental ballistic missile: What we know
Turkey just unveiled a prototype of its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), named Yildirimhan. With a range of 6,000km, it can reach targets across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The main takeaway isn't just the missile itself, but what it represents: a major leap in Turkey's push for self-reliance in defense tech and a statement of its growing strategic autonomy. Analysts say it's more about demonstrating advanced domestic capability and deterrence than responding to a single immediate threat. This moves Turkey into an exclusive club of countries with such technology.
