Ankara has granted a long-awaited tender for long-range missile and air defense systems to Chinese contenders, following a meeting of the Defense Ministrys executive council, daily Hürriyet reported today.
CPMIECs (China Precision Machinery Export-Import Corp.) HQ-9 was the lowest offer at a reported 3 billion dollars. The Chinese contenders also submitted co-production solutions, as requested in the tender.
Turkey presently has no long-range air-defense systems. The $4 billion program, dubbed the T-LORAMIDS, is being designed to counter both enemy aircraft and missiles.
The other bidders were the U.S. partnership of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, offering the Patriot air defense system; Russias Rosoboronexport, marketing the S-300; and the Italian-French consortium Eurosam, maker of the SAMP/T Aster 30.
