Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

[OguzSenturk]

nearly $500m contract, very good.

 

[Mr.Department]

Bro you should add for non turkish speakers: Nurol Makina and UzAuto signed a MoU for the coproduction of 1000 nurol ejder in Uzbekistan.

Contract worth isn't important. Important is the approach to our brothers.

 

[UkroTurk]

UzAuto is a respectful automobile producer whose cars are sold around the all former ussr countries.
Even Chinese copied their car model AKA "matiz".

Could they re-export some vehicles?
"1000 vehicles" number is massive.

Interesting developments in Uzbekistan.

Country is opening up some:

Great victory for both Turkey and Uzbekistan and I hope our leaders also wake up and sign contracts for this Nurol Ejder 4 X 4 and may be Hizir also or Cobra II or some other beast.

Don't let dreams be dreams.

Looks like they added a shield to protect the front differential. Previously our soldiers were adding protection with chains to protect Yalcin from being disabled from small arms fire and shrapnel..

Yalcin wasn't developed for urban warfare but for mine protection on open road, so I guess they overlooked it.. and then remedied the issue later on.

 

[OguzSenturk]

Uzbekistan's decision over Yalçın makes sense. Uzbakistan is not a rich country, they cannot just go and order 3000 MRAPs from US. But they also need to modernize their army with new military doctrins. Moving troops to frontline in trucks past in 20th century.

Ejder Yalçın is proven, cheap solution to meet Uzbek Army/Police needs for transporting troops under mine/ballistic protection.

Good that the relations with Usbekistan are normalizing after the new goverment.

 

[Pax Ottomana]

Fantastic pictures!

Uzbekistan is also a good market for Otokar Cobra/Cobra II. Not sure why it hasn't been exported there yet.

[OguzSenturk]

I don't expect Uzbekistan to buy more military vehicles/equipments after Ejder Yalçın purchase. Uzbekistan's 2018 budget is nearly $5billion. Lets assume that %5 of their budget goes to defense expenses, which makes $250m, this includes all expenses of army including pensions of soldiers. This is not much.

Paying for 1000 Ejder would be done in next 4-5 years if they couldn't find one good loan.

Read in article production will be spread out over 10 years. 18 pieces to be produced in Turkey, rest joint venture. Probably financing also spread out similarly?

Private firm.

 

[Mr.Department]

Private firm.

I know brother, but Nurol needs also orders in Türkiye.
So they need to be flexible.
