At the FEINDEF 2025 Defense Exhibition in Madrid, Türkiye and Spain signed an industrial cooperation agreement allowing Spanish companies to participate in the production of 24 HÜRJET aircraft — paving the way for an official export contract.

Türkiye ranks among the world’s leading nations in electronic warfare, fielding advanced indigenous systems across land, air, and sea platforms. Experts suggest that Europe—seeking defense autonomy—may soon turn to Ankara for cutting-edge EW technology.

During the DENİZKURDU-2025 Exercise, two Bayraktar TB3 prototypes, PT-3 and PT-4, took off from TCG Anadolu and successfully struck their target with ROKETSAN’s MAM-L smart munition.

For the first time in warfare history, a Ukrainian unmanned surface vessel (USV) shot down a Russian fighter jet with a surface-launched missile. Experts note that Türkiye, with its advanced indigenous SİDA and missile technologies, could develop even more capable systems.

Baykar’s next-generation AI-powered UAV, the Bayraktar TB2T-AI, climbed to 37,096 feet during a test flight in Keşan, surpassing its previous record of 30,318 feet set in February 2025, and proving its high-altitude endurance capability.

The Turkish Naval Forces will launch DENİZKURDU-II/2025, one of the largest naval exercises in its history, spanning the Black Sea, Marmara, Aegean, and Eastern Mediterranean. The exercise will involve 120 ships, 85 aircraft, and special forces units.

Following the success of its MİLGEM and MİLDEN programs, Turkey has set its sights on building a nuclear-powered submarine — a bold move that could place the nation among global naval powers such as the U.S., Russia, China, and France.

During his speech at TEKNOFEST TRNC, Defense Industry Agency (SSB) President Haluk Görgün announced that the Turkish defense industry has become a global sector, exporting products and technologies to 180 countries worldwide.
