Türkiye has the capacity, a strong industrial base and supply chains, and is ready to provide this capacity to most of the allied nations, the chief executive of a leading defense company said Wednesday.
Speaking during the panel organized as part of the "Allies in Ankara" program, held on the sidelines of the NATO summit, Roketsan CEO Murat Ikinci lauded the capacity, manufacturing base and production of the Turkish defense ecosystem.
"Türkiye has much more capacity than most of the allied countries. We are exporting our products," Ikinci said in response to a question asked by Daily Sabah.
He went on to say that 35% of Roketsan's revenue comes from exports, adding that they are investing all of that revenue "to our infrastructure, to increase our production line's capacity."
Ikinci spoke alongside the CEO of Aselsan, Ahmet Akyol, with both underscoring the advanced technological capabilities of the Turkish defense industry, its expertise and fast delivery processes. They also evaluated the role of artificial intelligence in modern warfare.
