ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan is developing a long-range ground-to-ground missile and weapons system, the country’s procurement office has announced on its website.



The Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, or SSM, said that "deliveries continue on in line with the program’s timetable." But SSM did not say if the deliveries were prototypes or the systems, dubbed "Bora." SSM did say the systems are required by the Turkish Land Forces.



An SSM official familiar with the program would not comment on the status of Project Bora, but said the end goal of the program is to earn capabilities to design, perform qualification and progress into serial production of the Bora system.
