Commercial CAD applications -not all but majority and commonly used- are not Linux compatible, also applies for some of the simulation applications as well. And these defense industry companies depends on these apps.
There are a few more reasons related with customer support and hardware support.

CAD software is only required for design work. Anything that can be done on Linux should be done on Linux.

windows and mac os have specially build in backdoors wich have to be implemented.. these are not known backdoors and we do not know if they implemented some technics that are more complicated than buffer overflows
I also suspect that there are some hidden backdoors in linux you can say that its harder because of the open community but I remember you the ssl bugs
thats why I prefer self implemented codes for encryption.. I had my own twofish, rijndael and hash algorithms for sha and haval so I hope we also do this with own encryption methods with as much as possible key length and not standards that are aviable in the market..

Depends on the other works as well, not everyone wishes to use LibreOffice and support on Linux is limited unless you subscribe to the Enterprise OSes. In case of mixed use you end up with more costs in IT team that eventually the Windows licenses becomes cheaper.
Put OS aside, only a few of the defense industry firm switches to the open-source alternatives of everyday applications which can also run on Windows.

Of course you need to rule out Windows being an American piece of software vulnerable to every American wish. Benefits of Linux outweighs hands down when you factor in privacy issues.

That’s how petty they are.
I think it would be best to ensure these domestic products are acquired by all domestic companies that needs these things. The fan could be used on tower pc right ?

Awesome post, thanks for sharing.
I don't know about these particular products being blocked (none of the tweets made any reference to any blockades). Turkish companies aren't 'forced' to localize due to this reason, but rather it is Turkey's policy to localize and domesticly produce in order to lower the reliance for foreing imports as well as lowering the account deficit (cari acik). This policy has been implemented for a while now and is the reason behind the succes of the defence industry. They are trying to implement this on on other industries as well, and are actively incentivizing Turkish companies and state instances to priortizie domestic products. For instance they are looking to prioritize local companies for bus and tram acquisitions when municipalities need new vehicles.
What I am trying to say here is, regardless of blockades and embargoes, these products would have been localized no matter what. Embargoes may speed these proceses up though. The goal for defence industry is 80%+ local production (with all strategic components being part of this 80% as well). I would'nt be suprised if they had a similar goal for other sectors as well. I believe they were also taking steps in the health sector with Aselsan working on various products. I wouldn't be suprised if they had a similar approach and goal for other sectors as well.

Turkey sells lots of handguns and shotguns too to the US. But they account for a smaller part of the total.

Thought this was interesting, Swiftships is a shipbuilder based in the USA - In the video and brochure they are specifying Aselsan 25mm SMASH weapon station as part of the weapon system on-board.
