Turkey is preparing to become the largest artillery shell exporter of the USA.

Well, article says one thing then claims another. It talks about US buying explosives for 155mm shell production. Also mentions artillery production lines sold by Repkon and a deal they made with Arca Defence to buy 116,000 rounds from them, which I don't remember seeing mentioned before.

Bloomberg: Türkiye, ABD'ye en çok top mermisi satan ülke olmaya hazırlanıyor

ABD, top mermisi üretimini arttırmak amacıyla Türkiye'den patlayıcı madde alımını arttırmak için görüşmeler yürütüyor.

When you make outlandish claims, burden of proof falls on you, it is your claim after all. I don't care about Otokar one way or the other, but, I do care about people just saying whatever they want to justify their political vendettas on this forum without providing any source.

Biggest arms export we made to the US after those camels we sold a while back.

did nobody wondered why all the other companies pulled out of the Romanian bid except otokar?
before i start my rant, does anyvody have a knwoledge how high the local precentage of this order is?
my guess very very low:
like you know otokar just makes assemble jobs, that's it
otomotive components/steel for the armoured body and anything else is ordered from abroad and assembled here but in this case the assemble job will be done in Romania.....that's it!
the same for the UAE 8x8 vehicle
and then we have these chill otokar boys who cheer like otokar is the epicenter of innovation and localizationin everything military
f otokar and f koç

I agree with you that Otokar needs too much foreign subsystems, but I recommend you look at it from this perspective. What if Arquus had won the tender instead of Otokar? I think a bird in hand is better than a bird on wire.

If Fnss had won the tender, half of the money would have gone to England; if Bmc had won, half of the money would have gone to Qatar, unfortunately.. but I agree with you that Otokar uses a lot of foreign subsystems

 

[Ecderha]

The price is said to be 1 million dollars.

I Think it is Canada.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Can somebody post the text? I'm out of free articles for the month.



Also found this, not exactly an export but we delivered cluster ammunition to Ukraine in 2022:

Turkey Is Sending Cold War-Era Cluster Bombs to Ukraine

The artillery-fired cluster munitions could be lethal to Russian troops—and Ukrainian civilians.

Yeah, that one came out after they were photographed by Ukrainians, we were the first ones to actually send it to them, before US made a big show of it.

Who made this guy the turkey correspondent?

 

[neosinan]

my biggest beef with this shit company is that they don't help Turkish subcontractor companies in any shape or form, just order everything from aboard and just do final assembly.....and they are doing this for 50-60 years and even hindering for example other otomotiv companies to be established in Türkiye in the late 60s/early 70s
so like i said f koç and f otokar

As Someone who worked in Automotive industry for Years, I'll say

You have no idea what are talking about.

If You think Tofaş or Ford just import most their components, you are mistaken. Tofaş, Ford, Oyak And Toyota all pushed for high localization rates. And Especially Tofaş And Oyak helped significantly to their tier 1 supplier to get business outside of Turkey/export.

Tofaş truly helped their tier 1 suppliers to have high quality manufacturing and management. They helped with implementation of Lean manufacturing in this industry. In return, This helped Turkish suppliers become competitive in global markets. Agea/Tipo was mostly designed here in Turkey. Many of my friends who worked Tofaş found their way to Togg.

Stop talking about stuff, you have no knowledge of.

I did and he deserves to be the Türkiye Correspondent.
To all of you,

Dont politicize everything,we all know how all of these companies work.
If you make a statement about a company you should also provide the proof of your statement.
So,stop the politics and stay on topic!!!

It’s the same thing with BMC. Engines and transmissions comes from abroad.

But but Turks dont ride camels lmaoo

I once triggered idiots like Manomed and Legionaire by saying riding camels were apart of Turkic history.

Instead they went and insulted me until they realised that Yoruk Turks still use Central Asian Camels to move to new pasture lands and in Selcuk they do camel wrestling.

And a Karakanid Khan called himself Bughra which meamt camel.

Instead of accepting this they proceeded to insult me by calling me a Arab. As if Arabs are the only ones to use camels.

The Mongols proudly display their Central Asian Camels.

I know im off topic just wanted to clear this out.
