African countries show interest in Turkish-made defense products

"Some of our products particularly come to the fore but we have various capabilities beside them," Ismail Demir told Turkish daily Sabah as part of the Africa Aviation and Defense Show (AAD2022). "African countries are interested in many of our defense products. Countries have different needs. There are needs such as border security, sensitive facility security, armored vehicles, unmanned aerial systems. Countries with a coastline have demands for naval platforms," Demir said.

At the Turkish National Pavilion, information on the defense industry and advanced technological capabilities will be presented to all exhibitors, especially African military officials, and cooperation opportunities will be evaluated. Among the products, domestically produced Anka and Aksungur unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV), manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), attracted great attention from fair participants and are preparing to pave the way for new export successes for the Turkish defense industry.
