The aim is to build innovative, competitive technologies that position Türkiye as a global brand serving peace and stability. With this vision, projects being developed today not only enhance national security but also lay the foundation for future technological superiority and global competitiveness.
In conclusion, Türkiye’s achievement in reaching a high level of domestic and national capability in defense is not only a strategic move but also a reflection of the country’s growing capacity in science, technology, and innovation, ensuring a stronger foundation for the future.
