German Chief of Defense Gen. Carsten Breuer visited Ankara at the invitation of Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Metin Gürak, holding key meetings at the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), ASELSAN, and TUSAŞ to discuss defense technology cooperation and strategic partnership opportunities.

Following reciprocal visits by Presidents Erdoğan and Prabowo, Turkish defense firms are accelerating cooperation in Indonesia. ASELSAN has opened its Indonesia branch, HAVELSAN is establishing a local office, and TUSAŞ continues joint projects including ANKA and modernization programs.

Developed by TUSAŞ, the AKSUNGUR UAV achieved precise strikes using ASELSAN’s LGK81 and LGK82 laser-guided munitions during a test flight powered by a national engine. The success highlights Türkiye’s growing self-sufficiency in defense technology.

Turkey’s TUSAŞ and Brazil’s Embraer signed a memorandum of understanding at LAAD 2025 to cooperate on joint R&D and production in both civil and military aerospace platforms. The partnership aims to boost the global presence of Turkish aviation.

TUSAŞ’s stealthy next-generation unmanned aircraft ANKA III performed a symbolic formation flight with two prototypes to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory.

TUSAŞ will launch its high-resolution electro-optical micro satellite using DELTA V’s indigenous propulsion system, with 0.9m and 0.5m resolution models to follow.

TUSAŞ and ASPİLSAN signed a contract under the Defense Industry Agency’s Industrial Participation–Offset Program to develop domestic aviation battery cells, reducing foreign dependency in critical aerospace systems.
