DEFENCE TURKEY - Issue 69

In dit nummer

The Turkish Defense Industry’s effectiveness has increased in the Asia-Pacific region recently, especially with
the notable contribution of FNSS in Malaysia. Recently STM marked a major success with being awarded the
international tender that was initiated for the half-life modernization of class “Agosta 90B” submarines in the inventory
of Pakistani Naval Forces; competing against the French company which designed and built the submarines
themselves. Covering a total of 3 submarine modernization orders; 1 of which is confirmed in addition to 2 orders
on an optional basis; the contract was signed in June. SDT has also won an international bid opened in South Korea
for Embedded Training System (ETS) that will be used on a training aircraft.
I believe that in coming period, Turkey will strengthen its presence in export markets by its indigenous products
and capabilities.
