Turkey held an important round of defence procurement after launching its operation in Afrin, Burak Bekdil wrote for Defense News.

“Turkey’s top defense procurement panel on Jan. 31 discussed and reviewed a total of 55 programs totaling $9.4 billion,” he wrote.

Among the decisions made by the panel, which was chaired by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan himself as the first meeting since it was placed under the control of the presidency, was to replace two utility helicopters that had crashed, Bekdil said.

“The SSM official said that SSIK also decided to award a contract to FNSS, an Ankara-based, privately owned armored vehicles manufacturer, for the acquisition of 170 eight-wheel drive tactical armored combat vehicles,” he wrote.

“SSIK also decided to open contract negotiations with another armored vehicles manufacturer, BMC, for the purchase of a batch of 700 four-wheel drive vehicles.”

Turkey’s new order for armoured vehicles totalled around $400 million, Bekdil said.

Plus, the government is considering the bids of three Turkish arms manufacturers for the contract to produce 250 of the country’s first indigenous tank, he said.

These projects have been on the drawing-board for years, nothing to do with Afrin. Also AhvalNews.com is owned by those who conspired and attempted to overthrow the Turkish government.

It's not you fault brother, there must be couple dozen 'FETO' media outlets. It's our job as Turkish citizens to make sure we call them out when we see them.

Also Burak Bekdil will write anything given that he pays his bills on time, so be wary of his articles, not all of them are bad.

A couple of days ago I saw an article by him on defensenews that had this exact sentence: "Turkey considers kurds as terrorists." and that did it for me, no more BB.
