Vice President Yılmaz: "Including the funds allocated for the Defense Industry Support Fund, we allocate 1 trillion 133.5 billion liras for the defense and security sector in 2024."


Policies and measures for the Turkish defense and aerospace industry

Aim to increase the sector's turnover to $26 billion and exports to $11 billion in 2028.


Due to ever-increasing demand, it was decided to approximately double Turkiye's anti-tank missile production capacity.


Prof. Dr. İhsan Kaya, Vice President of Defense Industries: "As the defense and aerospace industry sector, we will close our exports at the end of the year at above 6 billion dollars."


Murat İkinci, General Manager of Roketsan:

"At the meeting we held at NATO two months ago, we saw that they have a big problem in the supply chain.

Turkiye's biggest advantage in this area is its dynamic structure. During the embargoes imposed on us, we never stopped developing even the smallest component."

"Our technologies are now ahead of the countries that have been developing these systems for years. For example, our SUNGUR missile has started to find a place in the field, surpassing the missiles that have been in this field for years.

There is a very serious demand for this missile.

Its seeker and warhead offer a very high lethality."


Özgür Güleryüz, General Manager of STM:

"We are currently producing warships for Ukraine. We are also in talks with many other countries.

In Pakistan, we are modernizing submarines produced by a foreign country. We won the tender against the company producing the submarine."

 
Hmm 40.5 billion dollars.
I think my nation spends around 74 billion annually idk if it increased. The domestic sector is in its nascent stage right now though.
 
good, it is like about 100 billions at least if arms are imported, increase it when you can if some fresh money come.

The only good news here.

High defense spending is nice until you realize that every cent is coming out of our pockets.

We're already paying ever increasing taxes.



Right now, the most important projects are Turkish type FAC and TFX and of course Reis and Milden.

A lot of less important projects like ATAK-2 and FIRTINA-2 can be shelved.

You can't complain about rising defence expenditures and demand the continuation of TFX, Milden and Reis projects at the same time. Doesn't add up, bro.

We got kicked out of the F35 project. Cancelling TFX is no longer an option.

That being said, we could reduce the planned number of OPVs from 10 to 4-6. Hisar class is a big, expensive ship. We could focus on Turkish Type FAC instead.

some of the oldest Type 209s are from the 70ies so we need a replacement. We could cancel either Milden or STM-500 I guess. Although they have export potential.
 
what was it?
We tend to spread our expenditures among many different state institutions and actors which leads us to believe that Türkiye has a notoriously underfunded defence budget. Ofc, this is not true. Türkiye's real budget was twice the official figures for at least the last five to eight years. These 'hidden' numbers are not officially accounted for, hence, the wide range of estimates on how much Türkiye really spends on security...

You cannot have thousands of soldiers stationed in Europe, Africa, the Caucasus and the Middle East while simultaneously entertaining the second largest standing military in NATO and invest billions in R&D on just a 16 billion USD budget. The cost for fighting PKK within Türkiye is not even included in this equation.

Still, there's going to be a significant increase in budget since the defense industry helped AKP's election victory so much.

Not that we need it, Turkish Type FAC project, TF-2000, and the 35.000 lbf turbojet engine projects are the only underfunded ones I think.
 
Considering the purchasing power, 40 billion dollars is equivalent to 100 billion dollars in Turkey. We are at great risk, there is war all around us. We have to accelerate all projects. This amount is even small.

If we didn't pick fights with everyone, that wouldn't matter.

We're paying for the moronic mistakes of rabia days

and the utterly stupid S-400 purchase.
