What is this site?
Roketsepeti is a parody site. Nothing is for sale and no payment is taken.
In short
Roketsepeti lists the world's defence products in the interface of an online shop. It is a work of satire. The products are real and the prices are loosely based on approximate unit costs reported in open sources, but this is not a shop and nothing here can actually be bought. The catalogue covers ten product categories and eight manufacturing countries.
The joke comes out of the language of retail. Seeing a multi-billion-dollar air defence system with an “only 3 left” badge, an instalment plan and a “customers who viewed this also viewed” row says more about how absurd those numbers are than a news article does.
What it is not
This site is not a broker, an intermediary or a promotional platform. It has no connection to any manufacturer, seller or state. No orders are taken, no personal data is collected through forms, and there is no payment infrastructure. Adding to the cart and going through checkout is a performance that runs entirely inside your browser and sends nothing anywhere.
Data and images
Prices are rough estimates drawn from reported contract values and defence budget reports. They are not precise and make no claim to be. Product images are freely licensed photographs from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. The owner and licence of every photograph is listed on the image credits page . Manufacturer logos and registered marks are not used. Some product pages include a YouTube video; those videos do not load until you press play, and until then no request is sent to YouTube.
Privacy
There is no login, no membership and no form on this site. Your cart is stored only in your own browser and is never sent to a server. Visitor counting uses a tool that sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
