Turkey Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

If the carriers are something like the LHD they already have then maybe. But even then this will be of marginal use.

Rumors are that the TF2000 is to grow to 9000 tons (from 7000-8000) and 96 VLS (from 64)

I guess 4 extra I class FFG puts a possible type 23 acquisition to sleep

Total Turkish defense exports in 2023: $5.5 Billion up from $4.4 Billion in 2022.

The aim was $6 Billion. The aim for 2022 was $4 Billion.

Top 10 defense companies in terms of export during 2023:



Quite disappointing figures when one looks at the state of the world. Especially Roketsan and MKE aren't able to capitalize on it and raise production figures and realize exports.

The war on the opposite side of the Black sea should be enough motivation to expand artillery lines.

Must add a caveat, some companies export their products through other companies, like Aselsan and Roketsan do through Baykar. Think electro-optics and munition. Aselsan for example exported $196 million through other platforms in addition to the $108 million directly.

Tomorrow we'll hear some more about Kaan.

Surprised Aselan and Roketsan aren’t higher on the list.

Lol that explains it.

Hurkus-2 to perform its flight in June:

I hope it'll use a TP1400 in the future. Otherwise it'll be a missed opportunity.
