On the third day of IDEF 2025, Turkey’s Defense Industry Agency (SSB) signed key contracts covering ballistic gear, weapon systems, simulators, and helicopters — including 57 GÖKBEYs and a new T-70 Simulator Project.

TUSAŞ CEO Mehmet Demiroğlu announced that a long-awaited development for the HÜRJET’s engine could be revealed very soon. While major programs like KAAN, ANKA-3, and GÖKBEY progress as planned, TUSAŞ aims for a record-breaking $12 billion turnover by 2034.

Developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), the T625 GÖKBEY Utility Helicopter has successfully completed low-altitude cold weather tests in Sweden’s Kiruna region, proving its capability to operate and maneuver even at -30°C.

Türkiye’s first indigenous helicopter, GÖKBEY, is being tested under diverse climate and geographic conditions to achieve full operational capability.

Alp Aviation strengthens Türkiye’s aerospace industry by supporting projects like GÖKBEY, ATAK-2, and KAAN with advanced engineering and production capabilities.

Turkey is advancing engine projects for tanks, UAVs, helicopters, and missiles, aiming to achieve defense independence through indigenous combustion and turbine engines.
