Despite Turkey's backing, Tunisia cancels ANKA-S drone deal * Military Africa

Tunisia’s order for three ANKA-S drone has hit a brick wall as the country cannot pay for the UAVs despite significant financial backing from Turkey. Last year, the Tunisian Ministry of Defense announced a tender for the supply of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV which was subsequently...

If the Tunisian news is true, then yes, France has more influence on Tunisia than we think. After Turkey's entry into North Africa, France held up a banner against Turkey. From now on, we will witness a French-Turkish competition in North Africa and the Sahel region.

Turkey eyes new markets for exports


Turkish government officials and industry executives are hoping to find new sales in what they see as emerging export markets in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
“These are promising markets for Turkish manufacturers,” said one senior procurement official.
A Turkish diplomat familiar with the three countries said that “smooth, friendly, problem-free political relations” with all three Asian countries promise export deals for Turkish companies. “As more Turkish-made systems become combat-proven [by local use], interest from those countries will increase,” he said.
Hakan Kurt, chairman of Capital Exhibition, calls Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as “hot markets” for Turkish defense and aerospace industries. Capital Exhibition organizes Defence Port Turkey South Asia.
“Turkish manufacturers do not have the problem of ‘lack of sellable platforms’ like they had a decade ago,” Kurt said.
Kurt expects that Turkish defense and aerospace exports to the three Asian countries could reach $5 billion in the next 10 years.
Turkey’s overall defense exports stood at $2.74 billion in 2019, down from the official target of $3 billion.
A defense specialist in Ankara advised caution about Asian markets.

“These countries need hardware. They have good political ties with Turkey. But their economies are often cash-strapped. Turkey may also have licensing problems in any potential export deal as it depends on foreign technology for local production,” he said.
In 2018, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) signed a $1.5 billion agreement to sell a batch of 30 T129 attack helicopters to Pakistan. But the deal has not moved forward as TAI has failed to secure U.S. export licenses for the contract.
The T129 is a twin-engine multirole attack helicopter produced under license from the Italian-British company AgustaWestland. It’s powered by two LHTEC T800-4A turboshaft engines. Each engine can produce 1,014 kilowatts of output power. The T800-4A is an export version of the CTS800 engine. LHTEC, the maker of the engine, is a joint venture between the American firm Honeywell and the British company Rolls-Royce.
The defense specialist said that most likely Turkish hardware to go into Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan would include naval vessels and patrol boats (except Afghanistan), smart ammunition, drones and armored vehicles.

Patrol boats could also be an option for Afghanistan. We have some natural river borders, which needs to be patrolled.

I would love to see a few ATAKs in Afghanistan. Maybe we can purchase some of the early produced versions from Turkey?

Would be great, but Turkey needs to thread carefully, more so than other countries as it seems we have a good standing generally on both sides.

I am not even sure how or what the government can do to clean up regions from Taliban influence

Afghanistan: Who controls what

Nearly 18 years after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, the armed group is still active across war-torn Afghanistan.

I mean Afghan and Pak governments needs to cooperate on the issue, that's my best guess.

The Government and Taliban will sooner or later sign a peace deal e.g. Taliban will become a political party. At that point, Turkey is free to sell anything it wants to Afghanistan. We are cash constrained, so we will probably buy your used equipment (this will also free up your ressources to induct newer versions)

Turkish army has lots of used HK G3s and FN FAL's that would be perfect for the Afghan army.

Afghanistan thrives on mountain warfare. Afghanis are good with long range marksmanship that suits the terrain.

Ismail Demir, a top government official in charge of the defense industry, told Nikkei Asia, "I do not know any other country which is more generous than Turkey, especially in terms of technology transfer." He also said Turkish drone makers are talking to at least seven countries about drone exports.

Turkish companies see Asia as a potential market.

Turkish Aerospace CEO Temel Kotil told Nikkei, "In Asia, we especially see Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines as strategic markets."

I dont understand why we are so generous with TOT. If those countries get TOT, they dont need our drones anymore.

Full ToT is quite rare, difficult and expensive

After your UCAV success you lower yourself by saying "we are really generous with TOT" it sounds cheap and you look cheap.
You build up a brand why ruining it with such stupid statements?

Your system is battleproven, reliable, it delivers when used properly everyone who is interested in that tech. should be thankful getting maybe supplied by you. We seriously lack marketing.

We built F16 fighter Jets in Turkey in the 1980's and that didn't make the US cheap at all. If we don't share our technology to some degree somebody else will.
