Turkish Defense Electronics Prime Sees Surge In Demand
Turkish defense electronics prime ASELSAN has recorded a significant influx of $7.5 billion in net order backlog growth during the third quarter, driving its total order book past the $30-billion milestone for the first time. This expansion reflects $14 billion in signed defense agreements across the first nine months of the year, driven by rising demand for air defense systems, radars, and electronic warfare hardware. The growth underscores Turkey’s expanding role as a major exporter of defense hardware and highlights the scale of its defense manufacturing ecosystem. This development was reported by The Military Channel.
