DEFENCE TURKEY As an expert who has personally contributed to Turkish Defence Sector for many years, how do you assess the position of Turkish Defence Industry in and around Turkey?

Turkey was procuring most of defense industry needs through direct buy in 1970’s and allocating considerable amount of budget for this purpose. Together with the establishments of Aselsan, TAI, Havelsan and Roketsan Turkey has applied co production model to decrease dependency for foreign resources. Nowadays the number of civil companies which have greater interest in defense industry and this helps Turkey to reach the phase in which she can produce many items with indigenous designs. In return Turkish defense industry has an approach now that programs not only targets to meet the Turkish Armed Forces need but extend the markets for Turkish products. SSM has been playing major role in organizing all defense industry activities and providing local companies with chances to increase their variety of products.
