Turkey’s defense industry has emerged as a major contributor to the country’s economy, with significant growth and development in recent years. The industry has become a key focus for the Turkish government, which has invested heavily in the development of advanced defense technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as IHA and SIHA, electronic systems, communication systems, and electro-optical systems. Thus, the sector has also become a key driver of growth in other sectors such as advanced manufacturing, engineering, and research and development.
The future of the Turkish defense industry looks bright, with continued growth and development expected in the years ahead. The government has set ambitious targets for the industry, including a target of reaching $26 billion in defense exports by 2023. To achieve this goal, the government has focused on developing advanced defense technologies such as UAVs, and has also sought to enhance the international competitiveness of the industry through the establishment of joint ventures and partnerships with foreign companies.
