Turkish Defense Industry by 2030s - catch up with the UK , France and Germany

[MMM-E]

Indeed, the variety and capacity is truly impressive. I wonder how much they should spend on this defense industrial base.

@MMM-E can you tell us about the amounts spent on research and development of these programs?

We have reached a $75 billion project volume in Defense Industry


We have reduced the foreign dependency in defense industry from around 80% to some 20% in such a short time as 20 years.

The number of the defense projects, which was merely 62 in 2002, has today surpassed 850.
While the total budget of our defense projects was $5.5 billion in 2002

Flying-wing stealth UCAVs in Europe



France : NEURON ... ( first flight 2012 )
UK : TARANIS .... ( first flight 2013 )
Turkiye : ANKA-3 .... ( first flight 2023 )


The fate of NEURON and TARANIS is still unclear
on the other hand ANKA-III will be delivered to the Turkish Air Force in 2025

Turkiye started this race 10 years ago
and Turkiye's exports in the defence industry were recorded as $5.5 billion in 2023

We needs more 10 years to finish the all Turkish military projects
even I can not imagine , when all Turkish major military projects will be ready for export in 2030s


just one example
only 60 AKINCI UCAV deal with S.Arabia cost $3.1 billion in 2024

While the MALE UAV-UCAV market was led by the USA before 2014 and China between 2014-2019, the leadership passed to Turkiye after 2020

Can you give source to that?

America makes 1 deal with Saudi = 100billion
America makes 1 deal with Australia submarines = 300billion

selling 2 cheap drones to Mali/Togo or Niger for a couple of million is not playing in the big leagues. Even CHina sells thousands of commercial drones each year which are then used for military purposes for billions each year to anyone and everyone.

This is what big leagues is about
