Turkish defence industry firms should boost up their law departments and security protocols on the export meetings.
There have been losses, at least on 2 big export chances that were on the stage of financial planning, and most matters were agreed on the technical part. Some well-known western companies have jumped in both, started negotiations right from where Turkish company was carrying on and bagged the deal in the end, knowing exactly what Turkish has offered, and could offer in the next stage. They have completed the deal in two weeks, which Turkey has spent 2 months including the technical and financial planning from scratch.
Either some export partners are not up to the security protocols or the initial agreements on confidentiality, or there are some leaks from the Turkish companies, not related to technical but financial matters.
Thus the lawyer departments should beef up. First to stop some clever customers using Turkish companies as levarage to get more from west, then to stop them sharing those documents with confidentiality with the others.
