whatever , Volvo, Saab and Sony Ericson alone are enough you can't deny that turkey still can't compete with them and population is not the only thing
Turkish Defense Industry ( 750+ projects ) is far better than Sweden
Turkiye has ASELSAN , ROKETSAN , TAI , TEI , HAVELSAN , TUBITAK-SAGE , STM and many more
Sweden only can dream about it ..
Turkish Armed Forces far stronger than even Sweden+Norway+Finland+Baltic Countries combined
Big boys in NATO = USA , UK , Turkiye , France , Germany , Italy
to be more precise Sweden has a GDP of 635.7 billion with a population of around 10 million
Turkey have a GDP of 819 billion with a population of more than 80 million
GDP is nothing to do with population
Turkiye has bigger GDP than almost İran+Egypt combined
and nobody attack on Sweden
on the other hand Turkiye and Turkish economy under attack by USA-France and their terrorists PKK/YPG , FETO since 2013
Turkish currency dropped by 1.000% since 2013
1 USD has risen to 18,7 TL from 1.8 TL
If there were no attacks on Turkiye and Turkish economy since 2013
now Turkiye would have min $1,8 trillion of GDP instead of $853 billion
even in 2013 , Turkiye had $957 billion of GDP
