Turkey’s military exports have gained remarkable momentum in recent years, transforming its defense industry into a globally recognized supplier. Unmanned aerial vehicles, armored land platforms, smart munitions, and electronic warfare systems are among the most in-demand products, strengthening Turkey’s strategic partnerships worldwide. With expanding production capabilities and innovative domestic technologies, Turkey has become a preferred and reliable defense exporter for an increasing number of countries.

From a technical standpoint, Turkey’s defense exports go far beyond the sale of military equipment; they include technology transfer, co-production agreements, integrated training programs, and long-term support packages. As of 2025, the core of Turkey’s export portfolio consists of UAV systems, precision-guided munitions, command-and-control technologies, naval platforms, and radar systems. The export value exceeding 60 dollars per kilogram demonstrates Turkey’s strong position in high value–added defense technologies. This growth not only provides significant foreign currency income but also strengthens Turkey’s influence in global security markets.
