It seems a plethora of new military technologies were showcased at the SAHA-2026 exhibition.
Perhaps even too many.
So there were critics who couldn't accept all these innovations.
It seems their main argument boils down to one thing: "This can't be true because Turkey isn't capable of producing such technology."
But in reality, for example, the intercontinental missile showcased there can only be considered new in Turkey, since some countries have been producing them for almost 70 years. Germany developed an intercontinental missile (two-stage!) back in 1944 to attack America.
82 years ago!
Remember how some foreign critics started screaming about the Bayraktar TB2 about 10 years ago? They demanded that Turkey stop producing these "soulless killers." Incidentally, unfortunately, there were politicians in Turkey itself who demanded the same thing.
Hmm.
Surely they haven't forgotten that it was the "son-in-law's"
drone that became the first in the world to shoot down an aerial target with an air-to-air missile.
Let's remember the Sultan Mehmet cannons: history doesn't care who built them—the Türkiye president's son-in-law or Hungarian President Urban himself🫢
I don't understand why some of our forum participants saw something incredible at this exhibition.
I didn't see anything supernatural among all these new products.
