It’s still 24th of October, here in the USA but considering the time difference it must be over in Korea by now. I brought this up because wondering about new deals, if any signed.

Assan was sold to Roketsan for 471 million Dollars according to Sözcü. Looks like a best possible ending for a farcical and terrible situation. I was afraid it was going to be sold to a big holding with "connections" and get hollowed out.

Still a very bad move that will discourage further investment and innovation in the defence industry but at least we don't lose the massive capacity Assan was building.

Looks like a best possible ending for a farcical and terrible situation.

Indeed. This was possibly the least bad outcome.

If Roketsan keeps and increases Assan's portfolio which should be the plan since there was only one bidder at this "tender".

It is getting a:
- huge factory in Ankara that can produce millions of 155mm and six digit MK bombs

- Expolsive production factory in Kırkkale(same place Roketsan is building its Expolsive factory) that was projected to reach 500 million dollar in sales in 2026 but most likely didn't because of legal case.

- Astech RnD subsidary of Assan which worken on smart munitions. Not like Roketsan needs it but they had interesting concepts.

- very good automated heavy industry caapbilty. Assan was exporting turnkey MK bomb production factories

- Dynaflow, a south African fuze company Assan bought.


We get a:

- shell and bomb producer that MKE can't bully

Exclusive: Damages from the Fire at TEI Eskişehir Facility

According to information obtained by TurDef, the fire that broke out at the TEI facilities only damaged a production line, which will cause delays. However, the fire did not reach the critical production lines, and no data was lost.

Según información obtenida por TurDef, el incendio que se desató en las instalaciones de TEI solo dañó una línea de producción, lo que provocará retrasos. Sin embargo, el fuego no alcanzó las líneas de producción críticas y no se perdió ningún dato.

More prevention and security systems would be fine.
