Isn't Turkey supposed to spend 2% of it's GDP on the military according to this NATO plan? Last time I checked Wikipedia the nominal GDP was like 1 to 1,1 trillion dollars so these 40 billion are still way below the target.

Pump the budget even more!

u sucks in math 40 billion are above 2%
If Turk gdp for 2024 is 1.2 trillion than 40 billion is 3.2% closse to Usa budget for its gdp that is around 3.5
I belive this increase of Turkish defence comes aslo because alot of weapons will be mass produced which needs alot of money until now no big mass produced

Those 40B$ seemt to be for all security forces, i.e police, jandarma, intelligence, and military.

Even if 10-15B is spent on procurement then it will make a huge difference.

As @Cabatli_TR mentioned, not the whole money will spend to defence.

Nurol NMS/Yörük wins Estonia’s 4x4 tender. Surprising!

https://x.com/savunmasanayist/status/1714635524491599922

So NMS for 4x4 and Arma for 6x6. What about the specially made deminers…

Estonians should just call the 2nd brigade the Turkish brigade after the deliveries lol.

I thought Cobra ii was the favourite in the tender.

BD army really loved it for UN missions.
Our BTR-80 had no protection against mines and got blown away few times.

There was a plan to buy 600 of total LAV/MRAP.
But due to budgetary constraint, army only procured 100 Cobra ii amd 50 MAX pro. If the plan for rest 450 units ever becomes materialized, I hope it would be Cobra ii. (With ToT and local production.)

It's about time to raise the budget, incredible that we had a defence budget of ~2% or less for years even though surrouded by conflict zones. And also pretty hillarious that the Balkans currently is the most peaceful place in our neighbourhood.

I understand why some Turkish members would be unsatisfied with TN's fleet size, however one cannot overlook the fact that Türkiye is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier and Turkish air force can act a giant naval aviation carrying Atmaca, SOM, Cakir and able to strike enemy ships thousand km away. All the rival navies from Russia Greece, to Israel and Egypt are well within strike range of Turkish air force and land based systems. When we take these factors into consideration, we can see that Turkish armed Force's joint capability to project power on the surrounding seas is quite balanced.

No. We need İstiklal Class Supercarrier TCG Atatürk.

Seriously though, Libya would be a whole different ordeal if we just had TCG Anadolu operational at that time. We need something like it. I believe TCG Anadolu will go to Aden or the Gulf when the task force is complete.

TN wants to modernize the whole fleet, establish "anti access / area denial" in the seas surrounding Türkiye and build up a fleet that can operate effectively in open seas far from the mainland. Our Defence Industry and Navy didn't worked that hard on countless projects only to fire SOM, CAKIR or ATMACA from aircrafts...

Ambitions are beyond the Black & Mediterranean Sea.

Amm…..did I say it did?
My point is, current fleet size and modernisation rate is not insufficient as it may partially appears to be, if we only look at TN's capabilities without factoring in Air force's capabilities and land based systems in context of Turkish geography.

During the visit of Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler to Estonia a Defense Industry Agreement was signed between the two countries.

While Minister Yaşar Güler and his Estonian counterpart Hanno Pevkur signed the Letter of Intent, a protocol for cooperation in the defense industry of the two countries was signed by Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün and Estonian Center for Defense Investments (ECDI) General Manager Magnus Valdemar Saar.
