Electro-optical system export to Pakistan



Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank announced that electro-optical system exports were carried out to Pakistan.

Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank attended the ceremony for the delivery of TCG ANADOLU to the Turkish Armed Forces inventory. Within the scope of the ceremony, Varank, who was a guest on TRT Haber’s live broadcast, announced that electro-optical system exports were carried out to Pakistan.

Varank used the following statements:

“In the past we couldn’t even produce a small product, but now we are talking about a high-resolution satellite that we have developed domestically and nationally. The strategic advantage this will give us may not be realised immediately. We will now be able to take high-resolution images anywhere in the world.
Everything, from the design to the production, of the İMECE project is domestic and national. We produced the electro-optical camera used in the satellite with OPMER within TÜBİTAK, and we exported it. Pakistan will supply this camera from us.”
