TR Defence Exports & Updates

[Strong AI]

Wasn't their news some time ago that Aselsan exported Sensors and Optics to Patria?
Now Patria won a tender in Germany.
So will they buy again from Aselsan?

Germany usually picks their own national subsystems. I would be very surprised if Aselsan gets a share of the deal.

This is just talk, nothing else. Neither has any chance, whatsoever.

I agree, we should focus on markets we can export to, and developing an indigenous engine and proving it by using it on the platforms is the best way to reach new markets. I don't give much credit or have any expectations to any export news where we have to use foreign engine.

At least for Atak, Hürjet, Gökbey and such platforms. And this of course if the market is a non western/european market. So Asia, Africa, South America and such. US and west will hinder us.

Middle East and Africa Region

This could only be Egypt.

This could only be Egypt.

Why only Egypt?

 

[Sanchez]

Why only Egypt?

In their KAP statements, Aselsan usually mentions the region accurately. It would either say Middle East customer or an Africa customer. and 78 million worth of air Electrooptics sale is just too big for any other African customer. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an Aselpod sale for Egyptian F-16s.

Algeria,Morocco?

Algeria,Morocco?

Neither are considered Middle East in the original meaning of the world. And Aselsan doesn't refer to ME as MENA.

Two recent ones:
From Oct 31
"ASELSAN and UAV manufacturers have signed sales contracts with a total amount of 10.3 Million USD regarding the export of electro-optical payloads for the end use of some countries in Asia-Pacific and Africa."

From Dec 30
"ASELSAN has signed an export contract with a customer located in the Middle East with a total amount of 42 Million USD regarding the direct sales of air platform payloads."
