Turkey BUYS satellites from Airbus. There is NO indigenous Turkish satellite.
I have been saying all along that Turkey has NO high-technology of its own. One of the Turkish members, UkroTurk, is lying when he claims that Turkey builds its own satellite. Those satellites are Europe's Airbus technology. Buying satellites from Airbus does not count as a Turkish satellite.
Turkey is a non-industrialized third-world country with ZERO high technology.
Turkey cannot launch a satellite. Turkey has no ICBM/space launch technology. Turkey hires Space X.
Turkey cannot build a satellite. It hires Airbus to build a satellite for Turkey.
What does the headline from DefenseNews say?
"
Airbus to build, SpaceX to launch Turkey’s 2 new satellites"

Airbus to build, SpaceX to launch Turkey’s 2 new satellites | DefenseNews (November 13, 2017)
"ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey has geared up its satellite programs as it consecutively signed new deals with one European and one U.S. aerospace concern.
Turksat, Turkey’s state-run satellite operator, signed on Nov. 9 a contract with Airbus Defence and Space for two new-generation communications satellites, Turksat 5A and Turksat 5B.
Both satellites are based on the latest electric orbit-raising version of Airbus’ Eurostar E3000 platform, which uses electric propulsion for in-orbit raising and station-keeping.
'
We are very pleased to welcome Türksat as a new Eurostar customer for the most powerful satellites of their fleet. We were the first to demonstrate full electric propulsion technology for satellites of this size and capacity,' said Nicolas Chamussy, head of space systems at Airbus.
...
Turkey in recent years has heavily invested in satellite capabilities. In December it launched Gokturk-1, a new military satellite that is
'20 percent Turkish' and will help the country in its anti-terrorism efforts."
