Greater baykar effect on the industry. Aselsan will get bigger. Not great for meteksan. Hopefully Sage survives.
Not a great fan of this. Hope I’m wrong.

I don't know if he will remain connected to Aselsan, because Aselsan will have a new president. Now he has to think in general...

he deserve it by making all important projects finish in 2023 as planned before as aesa radar, eots, stealth coating, irst, even the akkor and so on. I really want to see where he can take Turkish tech further, he is the guy that able to make the magic happen

Good news. At least, Someone from the industry will lead the industry. Ismail Demir has been in duty for 9 years.
I don't think the other companies will be effected in negative way. It will boost everyone.

That's what came to my mind immediately too, but might they sanction him too? Isn't entire SSB sanctioned
These US sanctions apply to the job position not the individual themselves. Demir was sanctioned as president of the agency and Haluk will be the same.

Yeah, There is a misinterpreting here. Individuals are not sanctioned but positions.

The Caatsa paper clearly states asset freeze and visa restrictions on individuals as well as the position they hold in the last sentence of first paragraph. Yes. The sanctions are there for the position too, as stated in the first sentence of the same paragraph. But people are sanctioned too. Albeit due to their position within the company.

quote:

Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on the Republic of Turkey’s Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) pursuant to Section 231 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction with Rosoboronexport, Russia’s main arms export entity, by procuring the S-400 surface-to-air missile system. The sanctions include a ban on all U.S. export licenses and authorizations to SSB and an asset freeze and visa restrictions on Dr. Ismail Demir, SSB’s president, and other SSB officers.

unquote.

And a possible FAC 46 sale under their “light frigate” program as per Jake. Great news!

The Nigerian Navy signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dearsan Shipyard, for the modernization of its flagship NNS ARADU (F98).


MEKO 360H1 is the oldest MEKO frigate in active service, in fact, the first MEKO built. If Nigeria plans to keep this ship in active service for more than 10 years, I think we should consider modernizing and selling Yavuz class frigates through Dearsan after similar modernization package.

According to some Temel Kotil played a role in the departure of İsmail Demir.
Erdogan several times mentioned that Turkey will make 100% army technology in 2023, and they couldnt finish it as they planned, only Haluk Gorgin finished all the important projects. Engine is still not ready, even though many important steps have been passed. I feel like its the right decision as its normal that after some years being at the same job not being as exited as before, they needed new blood and focus on export. Also, they didnt give attention to chips making

It is ridiculous to say that Haluk achieved everything. For one, his AESA rader is delayed. Probably the most important thing they are working on

Delayed by how long? Couple month? you ask him to make Gan Aesa without ever making an aesa, plus ask him also make gan chips just because you realize nobody will sell it to you.
he make eots, irst, akkor, air defence and so on and all of them are almost ready. Dont get me wring, Ismail Demir did amazing job, but Turkey needs new energy and Gorgun proved himself so time to ink new energy.
