Map updated with 27 exports, Albania sold and Italy likely operator.
Total yearly defense exports reached 4.2 billion $. I expect double the amount next year.
It will all make sense once you stop comparing the US with Türkiye.I would like to understand How effective this 4.2 bil of $ have effective meaning for Turkiye.
Example:
if usa used 4.2bill of money for develop military product is not equal to 4.2bil money that Turkiye can used that money to build same military product.
other example let just imaging
usa calculate that they need 5 years to build military platform X and they need 4.2bil
but if Turkiye calculate to build the same military platform X for 5 years then money will be at least 4 time less ~1bil
I think you get him wrong. $4 billions for US means $20 billions for us. Just as an example.It will all make sense once you stop comparing the US with Türkiye.
Military wise, it's hard to compare the US even to other super powers. Different league altogether.

South Korea missed out male UCAV drone technology and ROKArmy generals are interested in AKINCI and Turkish drone expertise. Due to the war theatre on the Korean peninsula, they would hold total air dominance over the North and South Korea has an abundance of tank killer Apaches AH-64E or USFK A-10 Thunderbolts. So, no urgent need but the market is lucrative.you misunderstand all.
Idea is to put Real model -> like usa -> making product for that money.
Then use other Real model Turkiye using same approach and get Result.
This Result will be close to the reality.
My understanding is not to Compare usa as power or as resources or man power or innovations..........................etc.
I could use europe but they follow other model which is not systematic, also they are purely rely on other partners to provide part for the planed military project, and also they keep doing the same mistake. They have high % of unfinished projects, because some convenient reason.
I do not what use as model russia or china. They are not on the same level, they are using steal and make similar etc............
after usa as model which i can use is South Korea. But there are 2 issues
- Turkiye more are less follow same ideas which S.K. already made
- But there are military platforms which S.K. even did not think of and that is why they have missed it and lost advantage. But Turkiye did not. Even more then that Turkiye made own military platforms which are real FACT available not a fantasy

ROK Air Force was interested in Turkish SOM air launched cruise missiles but opted for Taurus because of heavier warhead and the sophisticated penetrator tech for bunker busting.
This year ROK will reach $10 billion arms export, a 177% growth since 2016.
„Even more then that Turkiye made own military platforms which are real FACT available not a fantasy“
Which fantasy platforms do you mean?
i think, maybe you are misunderstanding south Koreas rationale behind the way they approached their strategic developments.Lets clarify something.
My curiosity was about to get real estimation of 4,2bil Dollors of money. What that money represent for Turkiye military sector as capability to spend this money and generate product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me try to answer to you questions. For me they are couple according to you post.
For clarification Main idea is that S.Korea missed, neglected to start and produce own platform (any excuses like market or buy from other because of spec do not have weight as we already saw what happened to Turkiye when they want to buy product from the psudo allies)
1. "South Korea missed out male UCAV drone technology". Yes this one of the things.
2. "So, no urgent need but the market is lucrative." I am not looking for excuses (I do not want to be offender, but it is one of missed product which S.Korea neglected. Please have look above "For clarification sentence ").
3. "cruise missiles" like SOM is also another missed military product which S.Korea neglected
4. S.Korea also neglected to build own jet engine for his fighters.
I do not want keep going with the list. It is S.Korea path which they want to follow.
When I try to use S.Korea as model for comparison was that S.Korea started military projects at least 20 years before Turkiye.
And Turkiye is following the same path of S.Korea, but as I send S.Korea missed or neglected new innovation or I can say military platforms which S.Korea should be developed. For S.Korea above list is Fantasy (I am saying that S.Korea can have them from market or start develop them at present, but time advantage which S.Korea had is lost).
That is why I said Turkiye build and use this specific own military products. They are REAL, not Fantasy-> idea on paper which is planed.
I hope you understand what I try to say . Above military products are Strategic military asset and each Country which is capable to develop them must build it by present.
I can give you more products which S.Korea missed like above list which i wrote, but this will not help S.Korea plan to have them.
I Think S.Korea military decision maker neglected many military platforms
i think you are misunderstanding south Koreas rationale behind the way they approached their strategic developments.
they didnt had any urgent need to develop engines for KFX as the supply chain is secure due to good relationship with USA.
But on the other hand, there is a plan for indigenous SSN. which is obviously more strategic then 5th gen fighter. and it seems they are moving ahead with it.
Every country prioritize strategic projects according its specific requirements. not to compete for pride.
And there are areas were they did a tremendous job.
For example, they excelled in SRBM development. which is strategic.
They have the world first SSBK. which is very impressive and strategic.
They have their tomahawk equivalent.
They have now their ALCM similar to SOM.
They have supersonic AShM.
