Our defence industry
has been transforming
strategically
Turkish Defence Industry has been transforming strategically in recent years . Our
defence industry is evolving from a foreign dependant structure into a structure which
provides the participation of more than thousand of companies, SMSs, research
institutions and universities and which mobilizes Turkey’s entire production power
in this field. We hereby aim to increase exports in this field over 5 billion dollars
annually which was 1,66 billion dollars in 2015. Reaching such an objective is possible
by producing and exporting various products, platforms and systems with higher
added value.
