Some of these agreements will be about supporting Ukraine. But I agree, though. We could have had a separate thread about the NATO summit.

Majority of USD spent will be spent by countries on other countries. But surely we'll hear some big ones for us as well.

TRT World - Pakistan denies cancellation of helicopter deal with Turkiye
Pakistan Army says that speculation over T-129 ATAK helicopters deal is baseless.

Will this 1.5B$ deal for 30 helicopters be revived as US lifts sanctions on Turkiye?

I think it was delayed due to no export permit to Pakistan. I really hoped we could provide T129 to PAF.TRT World - Pakistan denies cancellation of helicopter deal with Turkiye

pakistan already bought chinese made attack helicopters so overall need should be met. Maybe they are not satisfied with the performance.

still unlikely that they would lift the engine export control maybe with the domestic TS1400 but currently there are no plans to integrate it

I am pretty sure since J10CE's battle success, they are more than satisfied with the performance of Chinese origin systems.
It's just that, TUSAS offered very lucrative offset deal but with the Chinese, it is either buy it or leave it.
Also, since the original initiative to procure 30 ATAK, a lot has been learned in lessons from various conflicts around the globe. Which is changing some of the requirements for army aviation in general.
More like 1 or 2 no? If you listen to Quwa, PA still experimenting with how their next gen rotary wing combat aviation should look like. Apparently no commitment has been made to procurement of any platform in large numbers. T129 still has some chance provided US allow engine export. However, new requirements will very likely to be added. That would necessitate new pricing negotiation over originally quoted $1.5 billions.

military's $350 million defence pact with Turkey and its stealth fighter jet ambitions

Turkey and Egypt are transforming their diplomatic reset into a powerful defence partnership spanning arms purchases, local production, technology transfers and joint exercises as Cairo moves to fill critical gaps in its arsenal and defend its position as Africa’s strongest military in an intensifying regional arms race.

Considering how much poison UAE is spreading, I expect Africa to potentially explode into a new warzone, Egypt-Ethiopia, or Esclation/spilover from Sudan.
Too much weapon in the hand of these countries is never a good thing.
Turkey buying friendship with arms is not a good thing, but it's better than the western countries doing the same.

At most we will sell them drones and stuff like that not any thing of real importance like advanced radar/electronic systems. Egypt is too unstable and corrupt.

I can only hope that you are righ, but we're not just selling, we're helping build production capabilities. And that will include the sensor suite to a certain degree. (Local production, Transfer of know-how).

not really always depend on the customer Baykar has multiple factories around the globe but most of the important electronics come from turkey. Often times its just fuselage production and assembly line
