And what makes you think that?
Turkey maintains close cultural and political relations with three countries. For example, with Qatar, which is not as close as with Azerbaijan, but it is significantly better than relations with other Arab states.
We even have a large military base in Qatar.
We don't need to say much about Azerbaijan, we even command the Azerbaijani armed forces in an advisory capacity through our generals and supply weapons and fight together it's basically one country one people one culture.
We have similar relations with Pakistan in terms of culture, politics and mutual fraternal trust, but since the Chinese are involved in arms production for the Pakistanis.
The fear is much greater that highly sensitive data is being leaked, even if this is not intentional on the part of our Pakistani friends, we can assume that spying is taking place.
The statements I have made are of course absolute speculation.

If Pakistan was such a good friend, they would give us the tech to develop nukes, a long time ago.

Can you imagine a Turkish Republic today, that hold nukes between 1000-2000 ?

The East Med problem, the Aegean problem, the Syrian problem, the Armenian problem, everything was accomplished and settled in peace.

Chances are, none of it would have happened actually. That is not what Nuke does, otherwise Pakistan itself would have solved its refugee problems & territorial dispute.

What if Türkiye had Nuke today? Nobody in their right mind will think about using Nukes over a fight on Agean or Eastern Med. With or without Nukes, Türkiye is going to win any conventional fight in those scenarios. But the political and economic cost of such war is what Türkiye cannot bear. With Russia like sanction from Europe & USA, loosing the biggest trading partners and wihtout having energy independence, Turkish economy will be crippled.

Although what I'm about to ask may seems a bit odd😅 but i will ask it anyway t.

Can any gentleman with insider knowledge on Türkiye defense export can give information on present and future defence purchases made by BD from Türkiye? is there any talks from our side to buy the KAAN? I have heard on multiple social media platform that Mr.Erdogan had offered bd, malaysia indonesia for joint development. But we didn't have any money back then🥲

To my knowledge, BD has never been offered KAAN directly. However, all close allies of Turkiye will be offered KAAN at some point, I believe. Question is if BD can be considered a close ally? With the current weapon acquisitions by BD, I think there is a good chance that BD will become an important ally/partner for Turkiye in the coming decades - especially if BD can keep growing its economy at 7-8% per year.

I am not sure about anything definitive related to KAAN purchase. I mean, It is still a decade away from maturing. If aything was offered in the name of Joint development, it was more like, taking pre-orders.

About other purchases, in recent times it includes 100+ Cobra-ii, 1x Regiment TIGER MLRS, 6x TB-2, 1x Regiment BORAN and some other small items. (And HISAR O+, (KHAN?) ATMACA (more TIGER MLRS. Was sent out Ukraine later?) & Teber guidance kits was known to be ordered in 2021 with delivery commencing from this year)



Edit- We can confirm an offer was formally made by Turkish officials for joint production of drones. But later, it didn't go anywhere.

Inshallah.bangladesh should always look up to it's true and historic allies for such sensitive purchase. we should never buy anything big from those western hypocrites and terrorist junta supporting CCP parasites.

i hope this beautiful aircraft finds market in South East Asian countries too along with pakistani.

Turkiye will certainly offer Kaan to BD but can the BD secure enough funds to make it happen? Because Turkiye lacks credit/financing options mainly offered by the Western countries with military purchases.

Obviously, it is not in this decade. In 2030s BD's economy set to grow substantially. (If we can keep the same rate of last two decades.) In the end it will depend on various factors, from geopolitical outlook to budgetary capability.

I believe Bangladesh doesn't really have any other option than kaan for 5th gen fighters.But maybe kf-21 will offer competition. But can they also match western credit options?

We are entering a very turbulent period globally. Therefore, the development of countries' defense capacities will be the primary issue for about 20 years. First national security, then bread.

If we can move KAAN smoothly into the FOC phase, we will have a real challenge in creating a production capacity that will respond to demand. The main reason for this is that Turkish arms exports do not come with a blackmail package in terms of potential markets, and the parallelism in national interests will create a unique option.

Yes, Korean banks can probably match other western countries. They are earning hundreds of billions of € every year through exports surplus.

57 muslim nations.

Imagine that these 57 nations are turning into customers of the Turkish Defence Industry.

They free theirselves from American, Russian, French, Korean and Chinese developers and only buy Turkish.

Afghanistan: 50 KAAN 150 Altay
Albania 25 KAAN 50 Altay
Azerbaijan 80 KAAN 80 Altay
Bahrain 30 KAAN 50 Altay
Bangladesh 100 KAAN 100 Altay
Benin 30 KAAN 50 Altay
UAE 100 KAAN 200 Altay
Brunei 20 KAAN 50 Altay
Burkina Faso 40 KAAN 60 Altay
Algeria 150 KAAN 300 Altay
Djibouti 30 KAAN 30 Altay
Chad 10 KAAN 50 Altay
Indonesia 200 KAAN 200 Altay
Morocco 150 KAAN 200 Altay

.........

And then you have Cote d’Ivoire, Palestine, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Iraq, Iran, Cameroon, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Comoros, Kuwait, Libya, Lebanon, Maldives, Malaysia, Mali, Egypt, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somali, Sudan, Surinam, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Oman, Jordan, Yemen.

All the OIC members.

Turkey would jump into the top 5 world arms producers with these orders and the years long delivery of missiles, spare parts, radars, upgrades and repairs.

No Western or Russians software backdoors and no overpricing, but joint producing and technology transfer.

The economic powerhouse of Afghanistan or shall we say the Taliban will buy 50 KAANs for around 5bln €.
That's all I have to say about the quality of your post.

Burkina Faso 40 KAAN 60 Altay

What kind of insult is this? Burkina Faso's economy is $21 billions while Bangladesh has an economy of $450 billions.

If Burkina Faso buys 40 KAAN, BD will order 900 KAAN at least. Get your facts straight buddy.

In fact, we may round off and buy 1000 KAAN in total.

Islam is not as binding as you think mate, half the Islamic nations hate each other. I mean look at that list. Syria? Iran?

Nor all of those countries would be able to afford a small portion of what you attributed to them. And the richer ones already get whatever they want without much trouble, just check how many defence contracts Saudi Arabia signed just this month. Not to mention it would take us more or less a hundred years to produce all that.

Some realism mate, please ffs.

The friend is caught up in an imaginary idea of Islam. All these countries have different ideas of Islam. Also, the interests and strategies of countries are not based on religion. Including the fake, terrorist government of Afghanistan.

Prince, wake up, your dream is not realistic.

Bro I doubt the island nations you mentioned will buy tanks.

Planes and tanks cant be made overnight.

I understand your post and thr potential Turkish defence exports to those nations. But the list you made is unrealistic.

Maldives and Comoros do not have the budget to buy kaan and altay tanks. Island nations will not spend money on types of warfare that wont work like tanks.

Maldives and Comoros can buy small arms maybe even drones.

Every nation you listed have different requirements. Hence why Turkish defence exports will play to that.

Chad mostly invests in mraps and light infantry due to environment of the sahara. Mobility is key to fighting there. Turkish small arms and mraps are perfect to export to this nation.
