Why not Pardus OS mandatory.
Commercial CAD applications -not all but majority and commonly used- are not Linux compatible, also applies for some of the simulation applications as well. And these defense industry companies depends on these apps.
There are a few more reasons related with customer support and hardware support.

CAD software is only required for design work. Anything that can be done on Linux should be done on Linux.

windows and mac os have specially build in backdoors wich have to be implemented.. these are not known backdoors and we do not know if they implemented some technics that are more complicated than buffer overflows

I also suspect that there are some hidden backdoors in linux you can say that its harder because of the open community but I remember you the ssl bugs

thats why I prefer self implemented codes for encryption.. I had my own twofish, rijndael and hash algorithms for sha and haval so I hope we also do this with own encryption methods with as much as possible key length and not standards that are aviable in the market.. :)

Depends on the other works as well, not everyone wishes to use LibreOffice and support on Linux is limited unless you subscribe to the Enterprise OSes. In case of mixed use you end up with more costs in IT team that eventually the Windows licenses becomes cheaper.
Put OS aside, only a few of the defense industry firm switches to the open-source alternatives of everyday applications which can also run on Windows.

Of course you need to rule out Windows being an American piece of software vulnerable to every American wish. Benefits of Linux outweighs hands down when you factor in privacy issues.

That’s how petty they are.

I think it would be best to ensure these domestic products are acquired by all domestic companies that needs these things. The fan could be used on tower pc right ?

US imports $531Million Worth Defense Goods from Turkey in 2020​



The United States has imported $531.1 million worth defense goods from Turkey during the first nine months of 2020, official Turkish data has revealed.

The U.S. topped the list in defense and aviation imports from Turkey for the first nine months of the year with foreign sales to them totaling around $531.1 million. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) followed the U.S with $127.9 million, Germany with 123.7 million, Azerbaijan with $123.2 million and India with $114.9 million.

Azerbaijan imported some $77.1 million (TL 608.5 million) worth defense equipment from Turkey, in September marking the first month of a rise in defense exports since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Azerbaijan took the lead in defense and aviation sector exports from Turkey in September followed by Oman with $62.9 million, the United States with $62.7 million, India with $15.6 million and Germany with $14.5 million.

Turkey’s overall foreign defense sales were recorded as $16.1 billion in September, up 4.8% year-on-year and 28.5% when compared with August 2020, according to Turkey Exporters Assembly (TIM) data published by Anadolu Agency and other Turkish media.

Defense and aviation sector exports decreased 17% during the January-September 2020 period, totaling around $1.52 billion. The sector’s exports, which have recorded an 80% increase year-on-year in September, have jumped by 58.7% when compared with August. The September foreign sales of the sector were $281.5 million.

The highest exports in terms of quantity were also made to Azerbaijan in September.

Awesome post, thanks for sharing.

I don't know about these particular products being blocked (none of the tweets made any reference to any blockades). Turkish companies aren't 'forced' to localize due to this reason, but rather it is Turkey's policy to localize and domesticly produce in order to lower the reliance for foreing imports as well as lowering the account deficit (cari acik). This policy has been implemented for a while now and is the reason behind the succes of the defence industry. They are trying to implement this on on other industries as well, and are actively incentivizing Turkish companies and state instances to priortizie domestic products. For instance they are looking to prioritize local companies for bus and tram acquisitions when municipalities need new vehicles.

What I am trying to say here is, regardless of blockades and embargoes, these products would have been localized no matter what. Embargoes may speed these proceses up though. The goal for defence industry is 80%+ local production (with all strategic components being part of this 80% as well). I would'nt be suprised if they had a similar goal for other sectors as well. I believe they were also taking steps in the health sector with Aselsan working on various products. I wouldn't be suprised if they had a similar approach and goal for other sectors as well.
