These products, which are being launched by Meteksan Defence at the exhibition, are expected to rank

Speaking about their participation at IDEF 2019, Selçuk Alparslan, President of Meteksan Defence, said:
“IDEF is a reference exhibition that illustrates the level reached by the Turkish defence and aerospace
sector. We are also showcasing what we have achieved to date, giving an idea to the world what type of
company Meteksan Defence is by giving hints of what we are poised to accomplish in the future. Our stand
is much more crowded than in previous years. On one hand, we are showing products that have already
proven themselves on the field, while, on the other, we also have on display products and solutions that are
likely to have an impact in the upcoming period. We are confident that our stand will be very interesting for
the visitors to the exhibition in terms of the technology and innovation being showcased, and we believe
visitors will spend a considerable time looking at it.”
