Turkish defense industry

Turkey's defense industry is a rapidly developing sector focused on designing, manufacturing, and maintaining military equipment and technology. It aims to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers by producing armored vehicles, drones, aircraft, ships, and weapon systems domestically. Supported by government initiatives and private companies, the industry emphasizes innovation, exports, and self-sufficiency to strengthen national security and regional influence. Over recent years, Turkey has achieved significant progress, establishing its position as a notable player in the global defense market.
