TR Defence Exports & Updates

That’s not how it works. It will only be recognised at key milestones/delivery. So no meaningful impact on numbers till 2027 at least

One can think there must be a reason why this deal is made sooner this year rather than later next year.

It appears that the upcoming period will be more dynamic for Otokar's expansion into the Turkistan region through "Besqaru." In Besqaru, solutions such as Chinese Norinco's turrets and more are being produced alongside Otokar's armored vehicles. Images from Kazakh President Tokayev's visit are noteworthy. Primarily, production is planned for Otokar's 8x8, 6x6, 4x4, and tracked armored vehicle solutions. Local naming conventions are being used for some of these solutions. The 8x8 Arma / Taimas, 6x6 Arma / Taimas, 4x4 Cobra II / Aibar, and 4x4 Ural are already in the inventory of Kazakhstan's security forces. Other systems showcased as vehicles to be produced at the factory (targeted for 2026) include the tracked TULPAR and the tracked İKA ALPAR. An investment of 13.5 billion tenge—approximately 1.2 billion TL—has been made here. Overall, a production capacity of 200 vehicles per year is mentioned.

BAF is buying additional Cirit for Falco Evo. I wonder if we could put them on indigenous UCAV (in development) and try them out.

I think these are just the updated deals for the offset programs and Build to Design parts. TEI is a Tier 1 parts supplier for multiple jet engines over the world. It's where the majority of the company's income comes from.

As you may be mostly correct in what you are saying, and this is an amount uttered in written form by the top man in SSB, hence we have to take it as genuine;

TEI’s 2024 turnover was around 400 million dollars. It is expexted that they will declare the 2025 turnover to be around 450 million dollars. To have an order book of 2.95billion dollars for exports alone for the current year is unprecedented. An order book of that magnitude that is more than 8.5 times the total turnover of 2025, even if is to be billed over 4-5 years, is huge. So even if it is spread over a few years, TEI’s contribution to Turkish Defence Exports will definitely be sizeable.
