It is difficult to deny that the export of arms by a regional power such as Turkey has now undergone a significant increase.

If we look at arms exports to Ukraine, Turkey exported $ 5.9 million worth of military products to Ukraine compared to $ 1 million it exported last year alone.

THE BAYRAKTAR TB2 DRONES

Among the military instruments exported from Turkey are the well-known Bayraktar TB2 drones.

INVESTMENTS BY THE TURKISH WAR INDUSTRY

Given the success that the export of arms in recent years has been determining for Turkey, new investments have been made with significant successes by the Turkish military industry.

WORKING ON THE KIZILELMA AIRCRAFT

We are alluding to the first prototype named National Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle System (MIUS) , nicknamed Kizilelma.

Naturally the aircraft will be jet-powered, and this will allow it to take off and land from the amphibious ship TCG Anadolu, thus allowing Turkey to carry out both land and naval operations .

MILITARY EXPORT TO AFRICA ALSO GROWS

But equally significant is the Turkish export to Africa, and more precisely to Niger. The latter purchased armored troop transport vehicles from Turkish company Nurol Makina, as well as Bayraktar TB2 armed unmanned aerial vehicles and Hurkus turboprop light attack / training aircraft. The purchase is also the consequence of the recent visit made last week by the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, to Turkey, where he visited the factories of the main Turkish military industries, including Baykar, Aselsan and Roketsan, which will supply to Niger MAM and MAM-L missiles and rockets and UMTAS missiles .
