the only major project I know for "ToT" is the joint development of medium tank for Indonesia, and there the engine is foreign, the turret is foreign and how many other parts are foreign? so what Technology transfer do you even provide when you don't own the large % of the technology?
As for some upgrade programs, Aselsan got beat by Elbit in tank modernization program but they managed to beat Rafael in aviation upgrades for the Air Force, what is the issue here? in both cases Azerbaijan selected the winner.
as for naval boats, Azerbaijani Sa'ar ships come with Spike NLOS, giving ability for Coast Guard to deal with targets of up to 30kms, Sa'ar 72 includes Barak-8 missiles and will be the only ships in Caspian capable of dealing with aerial targets at medium ranges. Neither Milgem nor your other patrol boats provide such capability, unless you head for another supplier, which really makes no point in buying from you in the first place.
Optic Systems, Azerbaijan will purchase 40+ Aselpods for its Su-25s, MiG-29s and JF-17s, again what is the problem?
Artillery Rockets, Azerbaijan is the biggest user of TR-122/300s, what is the issue?
as for tracked and wheeled armored vehicles, how many times do I have to mention failed deliveries of T-155 Firtina? other tracked and wheeled vehicles also use Western engines.
I just kindly advice you to keep your knowledge for yourself when It comes to talk about Turkish industry. Besides, If you wanna see foreign components ( It seems you like checking foreign parts of Turkish products), check your Israeli boats and armoured vehicles, even some section of their radars, missiles instead of generating excuses for Turkish industry. You will see almost all sections are foreign excluding their designs and armours of vehicles. No need to mention engines. In this aspect, Which tech did you receive in those deals? BTW, It is up to costumers’ decision to use whatever they want in terms of turret so do not compose fairy tales to me with a teacher like behavier in that matter. I am aware of what I am talking about with some background info. If I don’t want to talk much, Just respect it instead of playing smart with talking bad about Turkish defence industry.
