Türkiye’s defense industry key to NATO deterrence, says aerospace CEO
NATO’s deterrence increasingly depends on industrial capacity, resilient supply chains and joint technology development alongside military strength, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) CEO Mehmet Demiroğlu has said.
Demiroğlu spoke at a July 27 panel at Chatham House in London titled “Perspectives from Ankara: The security and defence implications of the NATO Summit.”
The event examined the alliance’s changing security needs, defense investment and cooperation among member states’ industries.
Describing the emerging approach as “NATO 3.0,” Demiroğlu said defense spending should be assessed not only by the size of national budgets but also by the capabilities developed to address specific threats.
