Turkiye’s defense industry is experiencing a meteoric rise, captivating the attention of countries worldwide, particularly in the Gulf region. An insightful article by the Atlantic Council, a leading U.S. think tank, highlights this burgeoning success, with Turkiye emerging as the top choice for several Gulf nations.
Gulf Nations Flock to Turkish Technology:
Between 2018 and 2022, five key Gulf nations – Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and the UAE – cemented their positions as Turkiye’s primary defense customers.
Qatar, a close ally since 2014, paved the way by becoming the first Gulf nation to acquire TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), showcasing their trust in Turkiye’s cutting-edge technology.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE remain Turkiye’s largest defense clients, further solidifying their strategic partnership.
Recent agreements with Oman regarding armored vehicles and Kuwait for TB2s demonstrate the ever-expanding reach of Turkiye’s defense exports.
A Domestic Powerhouse on the Global Stage:
Turkiye’s defense industry has witnessed remarkable growth over the past two decades, driven by innovation and an unwavering commitment to self-reliance.
This dedication culminated in the recent landmark deal with Ecuador, marking Turkiye’s first major sale to the South American nation.
15 Ural-type tactical vehicles are set to arrive in Ecuador by the end of October, marking a significant entry into a new market.
Reaching for New Heights:
After a stellar 2021 with $3.2 billion in exports, Turkiye’s defense industry is expected to skyrocket to $4.3 billion in 2022, a 36% increase.
The ambitious goal? To surpass $10 billion in exports as soon as possible, solidifying Turkiye’s position as a global leader in defense technology.
