If you think that a decent country would go into JV with Turkey after all these surfaced corruption and fraud scandals that the Turkish government had part in, than i would say that you are daydreaming. There is no guarantee for them to Turkey not sell these technology to third parties.
Again, wrong thought process
If that is the case, then why would companies like MBDA sign co-operation amd tecnology transfer protocols with Halcon missile, UAE?
Like turkey has corrruption but UAE doesnt? My friend, it is all about geopolitics and competition
Ever since turkey went against the west ambitions to encircle turkey completely by protecting turkish cypriots, turkey was exposed to several embargos. Pls dont tell me that all the achievemnts of today si due to the meager tech transfer of the west over the past 60 years; that is ridiculous
Turkey, with the current gov, has accelerated defense tech backbone; thus, any further co-operation will just make turkey even more prominent (baykar drones are just an example). When the west had opposing ambitions to turkey in azerbaijan, they cancelled the exports of drone engines and camera but to their surprise turkey already had an indigineous spare. The west has an anti turkey stance in general, any critical tech transfer, may undermine the west ambitions
If they went against armenia, against france in libya, then all what is left is to obtain their former territories back sooner or later....... you think the west will allow that?
Now for competition, military sales arent only for money but for influence! When a competitor provied high class goods for cheaper prices, countries like USA and France will lose their markets and potentially their influnce on such markets. As an example, france exerts political pressure on egypt through weapons sales
