Quality...
All your weapons (Turkey) produced are ‘technicals standards NATO’ (Absolute obligation, the rule. More for second member of alliance). Therefore of equal quality and even superior to others weapons produced of others members North Atlantic Treaty Organization, USA including.
But the biggest reason is that the world has changed. Now it is multipolar, completely globalized. With others news strategic alliances.
Quality;
Turkish defence institutes are certified with NATO quality criterias and protect their dataes under NATO's secrecy policies and the products designed and developed are considered as NATO standarts as well. Besides, In order to decrease the risk factors, Turkish industry always chooses the best way to design/develop own products instead of re-inventing the wheel so Every corner of Turkish designs either already applied or proved quality in battlefield such as V shape tail of ANKA, V shape hull for Armoured vehicles, domestic MWIR/QWIP detectors for cameras...etc
It is for sure that USA is way ahead of almost all world countries regarding technological issues. Some of their products don't have an alternative so The costumers feel themselves dare the arrogancy of USA export policies. They never approach to share ToT(except some countries), never export own variants but downgraded export variants, select the countries in accordance with their politic approaches to decide whether the countries to be dealed with, will be benefical for USA future policies or not. They even issue obligation for costumers not to use USA made products on some specific countries.
Being superior of USA industry doesn't mean that Turkish industry sinks. If a Tank is able to resist againts X tonnes explosives/RPG... according to STANAG X Level or a NATO standart MALE UAV flying 30000ft altitude or an USA equivalent radar detecting the small targets way longer ranges, It isn't important which country designed/developed them because After this period, Only performances of systems talks.
but There is a fact and It is proved in Turkish defence industry with trials on field that The domestic variants of some USA equivalents (export variants) perform better regarding range, effectiveness in lower prices. Although USA industry uses cutting-edge hardwares on their products, It is bringed out with same hardwares but software limitations for export so The systems don't perform their' bests in the hands of costumers (Harpoons' min. flying altitudes on sea surface, Radars' range scales on user interfaces, Guns' max engagement scales on softwares, response times of FCS's...etc).
