Aiming to end external dependence in defence industry by 2023, Turkey will enter a new period with the national arms transformation in Turkish Armed Forces.
External dependence in defence industry has been reduced from 80 percent in 2002 to 40 percent today.
TF-X to Replace F-16
With the recent deal between Turkey and the United Kingdom, TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc) and BAE Systems will cooperate to make the prototype of national fighter jet ready by 2023. TF-X is expected to be included in the inventory by 2030 and replace F-16s.
National Weapons
ALTAY Tank: It is expected to be included in the inventory this year.
ATAK Helicopter: 19 ATAK helicopters have so far been included in the inventory and more is on the way.
ANKA and BAYRAKTAR: ANKA currently carries out observation flights while its armed version is underway. ANKA-S armed unmanned aerial vehicle will be added to the inventory this year. BAYRAKTAR hits terrorist targets both within and outside the country’s borders.
FIRTINA AND PANTER HOWITZER: Fırtına Howitzers that can reach a speed of 65 km per hour and overcome obstacles of 3 meters in height has taken down both PKK and DAESH targets. Panter, the first Turkish howitzer to have an original design, on the other hand became a source of pride with its 40 km range.
HÜRKUŞ: HÜRKUŞ-A, planned as a training craft, has not been limited to this aspect only. The basic training craft HÜRKUŞ-A, was followed by HÜRKUŞ-B, the next generation basic training craft. HÜRKUŞ-C will be produced as a military aircraft.
CİRİT AND HİSAR MISSILE: The world's first laser-guided helicopter missile CİRİT for lightweight armoured or un-armoured, fixed or mobile targets was also mounted on ATAK helicopters. Testing of the HİSAR missile, produced for the protection of military bases, ports, facilities and units, is also being successfully carried out.
MİLGEM: MİLGEMs, Turkey's pride in the sea, are also being brought to use one by one.
MPT-76 RIFLE: 200,000 pieces of rifles will be produced to meet the Turkish Army's infantry rifle requirement. The first package has been delivered to the TAF and is being used.
GÖKTÜRK SATELLITE: Satellites are vital to both intelligence and surveillance. Work for Göktürk-3 is being continued.
