Friends, if Turkeys current government sets up a strong alliance with its Arab brothers to the east is it plausible that they will also transfer high tech military know how to these unreliable states? Would this current government risk its own security for it religious values and beliefs in that Religion will bond these countries friendship forever?

we can sell them our weapons and increase more military projects for our country more money for projects means more speed for creating a new type of weapon !!!!

well the arabs have heaps of m113's in there reserves fnss hit the jackpot with emirates there modernised acv projects and as you seen in the bmp 3 thread you seen the fnss with bmp turret right it can be even cheaper for them and its a win win for us and the russians accept we get more
Re: Question About military deals with Arab states!
October 27 2009, 3:28 AM
i know but if we can make money out of it maybe we can make much better anti personal carrier and i recon turkiye should make a similar turret to the bmp3 and i know i know not for our need but for the customers need even a Armour packages as well

Hi Aietus always good to get your opinion!
In regards to technology i was referring to for example Aselsan ( i.e. radar, night vision, fire control systems, stinger components and so on) and other electronic firms!

AA,nice to hear from you.
firstly,i think selling and promoting sub systems is the best way to both get your foot in the door and get the reputation happening.though those sub systems can hardly be called high tech they none the less can compete with the bigger boys as,economical,criteria fullfilling alternatives.
secondly,as regards the term high tech,we both know that this is not what high tech implies.
the only major high tech products the turkish arms industry have are the artillery and ssm's.everything else though fine as it is cannot be considered new or orignal or high tech that can beat what the usa,uk etc can make .for this to happen the education investments must move hand in hand with the R&D.and this isnt really happening.i wont even mention any of the licence and agreement restrictions.

October 27 2009, 3:57 AM
Aietus great response as usual mate........
Only reason i asked was because you would think they can always be used against you if things change politically (I personally think & believe the Arabs in that area shouldn't be trusted...just my two cents worth).
Re: Question About military deals with Arab states!
October 27 2009, 4:02 AM
the arms bazaar is an interesting place.
on the one hand its just buisness and making money.if you have reservations about the implications
of those sales than being in buisness defys the purpose.
you cannot have a sustainable arms industry that is solely reliant on the domestic market.this is the cold hard reality.
i do understand your concerns but look at it this way.if you dont supply say syria with artillery then the syrians will buy russian artillery,as for using that artillery against turkey i dont think turkey will lose the war just because the syrians used turkish artillery or ammunition.
Re: Question About military deals with Arab states!

not entirely true corpus.
look at what
kuwait,saudia,uae,bahrein,qatar etc have.some pretty serious gear on the ground,sea and in the air.
they mighten be able to build their own but with so much wealth you can buy the best.those that havent the cash in the m.east will buy cheap stuff,if and when they get the cash and any one targeting their needs will both be waiting for a long time and have to endure the haggle or the second hand market.

Just for the argument's sake. What's the richest Arab state by nominal GDP? Saudi Arabia. Well, Turkey has nearly twice the GDP of Saudi Arabia, and that is without all the petroleum exports valued at hundreds of billions of dollars annually. In fact, you add UAE on top of Saudi Arabia and they still don't add up to Turkey. I don't mean to be smug about it since I know Turkey is merely the 17th, but that alone should tell you quite a bit about Turkey's industry and indigenous capabilities in comparison. IOW, Turkey indeed has quite a bit to offer to the Arabs.

"brazilian tanks"
that could of won the contract but the only reason why it failed it was because of the brazilian government shutting the project down and i bet they were bribed to shut it down as well

I agree with Aietus on this, at the moment we don't have high tech of strategic value however we are changing fastly. In 5-6 years we'll have tanks, atack helicopters, APAR/SEAPAR radars etc. etc.
We may still not get in the top 5 but getting in the top 10 as weapon suppliers is quite possible.

Arabs pay incredible amounts for defence procurements unconsciously... Americans and Russians know it very well so They always perform incredible lobby activities over there to export high amount defence products to Arab countries... Europeans also realised the importance of situation newly...
so I do not see any wrong to give some military technology for Arabs If It is neccessary... We should increase our annual defence export rates..
Some examples...
You are going to see FNSS Pars's in a Arab country in a short time...
FNSS Akinci ACV-S delivery ceremony
M-113 modernization Saudi Arabia
T-300 Kasirga agreement with UAE
ROKETSAN has successfully exported TR-122 Sakarya MBRLS series to United Arab Emirates with the sale of 10,000 TRB-122 and TRK-122 rockets to be used from Italian made FIROS-25 122mm MBRLS.
UAE ordered 36 Yonca-Onuk MRTP Super-16 with Aselsan Stamp and Hellfire launchers...
Otokar Cobra
By late 2008, sales of the ACV had been made to UAE (136 delivered)...

We should supply some high tech military systems for Gayreeks as well... I hope Lobby activities will be placed for this aim to affect Pasok goverment under the name of "friendship between two neighbour"...

"This means the end of G/T- Forum:( "
G/T forum has already ended many years ago Bro... We do compose and play whatever we want If the subject is military issues but Gayreeks are good at flamming our military threads, frequently opening threads to curse about our values such as Islam, Mytries, Ataturk, Mothers...etc
so I am against to disscuss our military issues with a Loser banana nation like Greece... We should chance the name of this forum like Turkey/Russia or Turkey/India forum... Greece can only be comparable with Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria...etc If the subject is military and defence industry...

Cabatli i will agree that indeed many Greeks do what u describe but u do the same.
Face it dude most Turks like most Greeks cannot afford to have a decent debate with proper argument
and points.Its all about idiotic remarks that have nothing to do with the original thread.

well what do you two expect?i started in a constructive manner and before you knew it half a dozen turks pounced on me simply because they didnt agree.it wasnt because i wasnt being reasonable or logical or that my remarks were funamentaly flawed they just didnt agree!

This make me enjoy but If someone from opposite claims completely wrong things about my country and told only his negative imaginations-wishes like reals, Making fun with them will be a prohibition for me... Nothing wrong with it.

this video here shows how the turkish FCS works on the leopard 1 tank this FCS is not just stabilized system but also fully automated system and i heard that we installed volkan FCS on azeri brothers T72 tanks we can do the same with syrian tanks and iranian tanks as well as the Iraqis

Upcoming years, Turkish defence industry will have developed much more sophispicated systems for international markets... Current statue is only a beggining for our bright future... There are more than 220 defence programs are being managed by SSM now a days. More than 180 of them are indigenous defence programs with hundreds of R&D... Rests are waiting for start..Many of those programs will be matured after 2012-13...After those years, Everybody is going to see an incredible defence industry competing with old big weapon exporters in World...
National MBT's
National attack helicopters
National E/O-SAR satellites
National satellite launchers
National light-medium utility helicopter platforms
National every type trucks, wheeled-trucked vehicles
National every type naval warships including AAW destroyers and assualt boats.
National Snipers, infantry rifles
National Anti Tank missiles
National Precision guided munitions
National Air defence missiles
National every type radars
National Ballistic missiles
National Artillery systems and shells
National armour protection systems
National stealth and invisible technologies
.
.
.
.
Those are not a dream for us... Every one I typed is official defence program of SSM As you know... Many of them are already ongoing...
