Turkey’s defense giant ASELSAN (Askeri Elektronik Sanayi, Military Electronic Industries) is preparing to launch its offices in Pakistan from January 1, 2020.

The company is looking to strengthen its marketing openings as it is aiming to expand its defense transactions with Pakistan. It is also likely to open its base in Ukraine as well, according to the Turkish media.

Turkey and Pakistan are traditional allies who have a close and harmonious relationship. The recent consolidation of defense interests is unprecedented and it signifies a convergence of national interests of both the nations. Pakistan has growing defense industry and wants to gain ground in the global market.

Aselsan revealed that in November 2019, the company got a €176.9 million contract from ASFAT A.Ş (Military Factory and Shipyard Management Inc) to supply subsystems for the Pakistan Navy’s four MILGEM (i.e., Jinnah-class) multi-mission corvettes/light frigates. This was Aselsan’s second largest contract involving Pakistan – the first was a $254.73 million US deal in July for the Pakistan Army’s T129 ATAK attack helicopter program.

Back in July 2018, Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP) signed a contract with ASFAT A.Ş for the four MILGEMs. The value of the Pakistani MILGEM contract is reportedly US$1.5 billion. The four ships are due for delivery to the Pak Navy by 2023-2024, with the first ship set to arrive in 2022-2023.

Under the contract, Pakistan’s Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KSEW) will manufacture two of the ships, with the other two being built in Turkey. Pakistan will also receive “complete transfer of technology and the transfer of intellectual property for the design of (the MILGEM).”


In the interim, Pakistan is a top buyer of military hardware from ASELSAN — as of late, on May 19, Pakistan Navy brought ‘torpedo rockets’ from ASELSAN, which is created to counter short proximity activities.

ASELSAN deals with manufacturing military equipment, which designs, develops and manufactures modern electronic systems for military and industrial customers — worldwide well known for manufacturing electronic warfare, weapons, command control and navigation systems.

It currently sells its products to 65 countries, and the company is aiming to expand its defense transactions.

The company also has offices in Azerbaijan, the Philippines, Qatar, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and Northern Macedonia. The localization efforts of the company in the countries it operates boost its export capacity. The offices are run by Turkish general managers and employ local staff.

ASELSAN is expected to close 2019 with $2.9 billion in revenue as compared to $1.87 billion in 2018.
According to the Defense News Top 100 list 2018, ASELSAN ranked 52nd in the list with $1.8 billion in defense revenue last year. Another report published by the Swedish-based Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on Monday also revealed that ASELSAN ranked 54th among the largest 100 defense companies.

Now there is going to be a fight for who wins the most amongst the chinese---Aselsan---italians in the EW package.

Is there a tender for Pakistan with a scope of purchasing an EW package ?

Hi,

Pakistan has come out with a product for which good friends want to ride the wave---.

For Aselsan---it maybe a dream come true to have had its product/s tested in a hot hot zone and I won't exclude the chinese---spain---Italy---russia---sweden and the french out of it---.

Now there is going to be a fight for who wins the most amongst the chinese---Aselsan---italians in the EW package. The russians would be very satisfied with the performance of the RD93 engine---after everyone bad mouthed this power plant---.

So---basically whomsoever has ridden this wave with pakistan has reaped the benefits---. It was indeed a leap of faith that has p[aid off very well.

And that fight of business will bring out more polished items from either of the nations...

Pakistan's military does not do open Tenders. Normally Pakistan military itself looks for options and directly deals with vendors. Whoever suites them, Technically or financially is chosen. If finalized then they ask the government for funding.

Direct procurement like this may result in missing out on some potential companies. But this way is much faster then tendering (look at India). Also given the financial situation of Pakistan this model works best for us.

In the particular case of EW suite acquisition, I think Whoever gives us the best financial terms will win. It won't be Italy in my view so it is between china and turkey.

As for EW, not good it’s excellent!!! I don’t want to go to details, but would like to cite the following anecdote:

In my first EM course the professor was talking about the exclusive research areas, not published outside, on EW in my university....

Aselsan is inside top league which is providing all sort of EW sensors and suits to Turkish Army. Navy, Airforce, Land forces are totally relied on the Aselsan technology. Take a look of those programs and products which is actively used by Turkish military. Some of them like Hava-SOJ is in modification phase in TAI facilities.


In the field of Aviation, Turkiye develops two special mission aircraft programs. AirSOJ refers an aircraft which has powerful sensors to carry out Radar ES/EA, Communication ES/EA, suppression enemy air defense systems and stand off jamming missions.

On the other hand, Multi-Int refers an aircraft which has powerful national sensors to carry out ESM, ELINT, SGINT, COMINT and Link base for AirForce.

Check them all !
