MIDLAS was launched by ROKETSAN under the leadership of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) with the aim of localizing vertical launch systems, which are a critical element in warships.
Missile used in firing test
MIDLAS, the below-deck vertical launcher system that only a few countries in the world can produce, will be integrated into the ISTANBUL Frigate for the first time in 2023 and will enter the inventory of the Naval Forces Command. Thus, Turkey will write its name in history as one of the few countries in the world (USA, China, Russia, South Korea) that can use its own vertical fire system and its own air defense missile from its own designed and manufactured ship.
