What are your intended plans and targets in relation to marketing and exportation on international platforms? Could you additionally elaborate the priority districts as well as strategies concerning cooperative production?



TAI Chairman: """Considering the current status of development and implementation process, most of our programs such as modernization of C130, T38, F-16, S70; customization and integration of ATAK Helicopter, Medium/Intermediate Utility Helicopter; development of Basic Trainer, UAVs & Drones, Satellite, Light Utility Helicopter are open to international partners. The products will be in the market in full spectrum by the beginning of 2010s and consequently, we aim at being a strong key player with these solutions together with new derivatives in the global market. At this stage, we are exploring the working models together with allied countries at the early phase as joint development partner to adopt and harmonize their requirements with those of the Turkish Armed Forces which has well-respected battlefield operational excellence. Moreover, this approach will help those partners to extend their capability base and to secure the lower costs of ownership through the life-cycle operation of such complex systems. With such an experience, gained in the Royal Jordan Air Force F-16 modification program, it is believed that feeling comfort in Turkey, while working in the long-lasting aerospace-defense programs, is another advantage in participating in the joint development opportunities.



In the above portfolio, I would like to give some details of the Attack/Reconnaissance Helicopter (ATAK) Program. In 2007, TAI was awarded as the Prime Contractor with the responsibility for the complete avionics and weapons systems to be replaced mainly with the locally developed systems solutions including the mission computer and avionics suit. The end product, after such an extra-ordinary engineering modernization, will be named as T-129 where T stands for Turkey. Being the sole source for the complete fuselage manufacturing, TAI will have all the rights and authorities to sell the helicopter to the world market -excluding Italy and UK - and will provide the after sales services in the full spectrum.

Since we already bought half of Istanbul's hospitals and some of your banks why not buy your industry as well?

The real question is...can turkey buy one kiosk in the center of Athens to sell cigarettes?

Greeks invest their money where it will get the best ROI, not on costly weapons systems development programs-especially with inferior products.
