I am sure soon Turkey will manufacture their own jet engines, that will give its defence industry a huge push. It will also help Pakistan alot.

 

[Alshawi1234]

Some awesome development here. Honestly as much as I hate Erdogan's’ policies especially the ones that led to the rise of IS, I must admit he’s worked very well for his country. Managed to play Europe, US, Russia and the entire Middle East against each other to get Turkey to the top. He outsmarted everyone through these years until he was able Turkey to a strong enough position that it doesn’t need anyone anymore (I know that’s not entirely the case). But the advances and developments in Turkey in the past years speak for themselves. infrastructure, arms production, economic and technological development...

Really hope Iraq and Turkey could get together and start a real partnership built on mutual interest for both countries.

Also lots of people doubting and saying it’s going to take forever to develop some of these technologies. Both the US and Russia started from scratch, It took billions and decades to get the technology they have now. Everyone starts from somewhere. Luckily Turkey has plenty of imported technology they can reverse engineer and put to good use.
