Türkiye's defense and aerospace exports exceeded $11 billion (TL 514.86 billion) on a rolling 12-month basis for the first time ever, a top official said on Friday.
Haluk Görgün, head of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), said defense and aerospace shipments rose 29.6% year-over-year in June to $802.8 million.
Exports in the January-June period increased 29.5% from a year earlier to $4.67 billion, he wrote on the social media platform X.
Görgün attributed the sector's performance to the growing international recognition of Turkish defense products and the continued expansion of the country's industrial ecosystem.
"Our systems have proven their success in the field, and with an ecosystem that continues to deepen, we are establishing lasting partnerships on a global scale," he said.
