A network of 103 electro-optic towers, with 71 currently in operation, has been deployed along Türkiye’s eastern border for combatting irregular migration.
To thwart unauthorized border crossings, smuggling operations, and potential terrorist infiltration, stringent security measures are maintained at peak levels along the Turkish-Iranian border.
The electro-optic towers feature the “Şahingöz” thermal camera developed by the Turkish Defense Industry company ASELSAN, a land surveillance radar system capable of detection from a distance of 40 kilometers, thermal and PTZ cameras, lighting systems, and seismic sensors.
In addition to innovative methods, security forces continue to safeguard the border through the use of border walls, trenches, and military patrols.
Border troops and commandos are on duty day and night, employing advanced technological tools to safeguard the border and deter any attempts at crossing.
Using specialized search devices, security personnel inspect the area for potential tunnels.
The primary objective is to counter the entry of irregular migrants, members of terrorist organizations and smugglers into the country.
