Roketsan showcased six new defense systems at IDEF 2025 in Istanbul, including the AKATA Encapsulated ATMACA, GÖKBORA missile, and TAYFUN BLOK-4 hypersonic missile. The launch was attended by military leaders like General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu and Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu. CEO Murat İkinci emphasized Roketsan’s role in strengthening Türkiye’s defense independence. Notable systems include a submarine-launched missile, a long-range air-to-air missile, and a satellite launch vehicle set for a 2027 test.
In Türkiye’s Bitlis province, bears living in the Nemrut Caldera, the world’s second-largest crater lake, were seen plunging into the icy waters to escape the summer heat. Tourists filmed the animals swimming and playing, creating striking wildlife scenes.
A mother bear and her two cubs also approached picnickers’ tables in search of food. Experts warned visitors not to feed the bears or leave food out, stressing that close encounters disrupt natural behavior and pose risks to both humans and animals.
