Bora ballistic missile system deliveries to the Turkish Armed Forces have been completed.

In the BORA Missile Project, whose contract was signed in 2009 and developed and produced by ROKETSAN, deliveries to the Turkish Armed Forces were completed. Presidency of Defense Industries announced that “all deliveries within the scope of the BORA Missile Project have been completed”.

BORA Missile provides excellent fire support to maneuvering units with timely, accurate and effective firepower. The missile can be launched from other platforms with a suitable interface for integration with the ROKETSAN’s BORA Weapon System. The range of the BORA Missile is estimated to be 280+ km. There is also an export version of the BORA ballistic missile system known as KAAN.
