Türkiye Aims to Become a Global Leader in the Defense Industry
Türkiye is accelerating its efforts in the field of defense technologies, aiming to become a global leader and innovator within the next decade. In a statement made by Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler, the country's strategic vision for the defense industry was shared with the public.
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles, naval platforms, and various defense systems produced with domestic and national resources have significantly increased Türkiye's capacity in this field. Minister Güler stated that more investment will be made in technology development processes to ensure the continuity of this success.
Türkiye's goal is not only to be a country that meets its own needs but also to become a hub that exports high-tech products capable of competing in the international market. In line with this vision, engineering studies and R&D activities continue to be carried out with great diligence.
This growth in the defense industry strengthens Türkiye's security policies in the region while simultaneously supporting its technological independence. The steps to be taken over the ten-year period are expected to elevate Türkiye to a position of influence in the world of defense technologies.
