The Historical Development and Strategic Importance of Türkiye’s Defence Industry
Öz
Türkiye is located in the crucial and strategic hub, connecting Western and Eastern civilizations and functioning as a bridge between Asia and Europe. This unique position endows the country with a rich historical and cultural heritage and exposes it to significant security threats. Situated at the crossroads of conflict-prone regions such as the Caucasus, the Middle East, the Balkans, and Türkiye, it is vital to the Western world due to its strategic position on NATO’s southern flank. In this context, it is a critical factor in advanced security policies and modern warfare. Türkiye’s defence industry strategy is directly shaped by the security sensitivities arising from its geopolitical position. So, the domestic production strategy is developed through a holistic approach that encompasses all stakeholders in the defence industry ecosystem. The process involves proactive engagement, continuous improvement, and accountability principles. The historical evolution of advancements in the defence sector underscores the significance of technological independence and strategic collaborations. This study examines Türkiye’s defence industry transformation by analyzing the historical developments from the Ottoman Empire to the present day. The modernized defence industry is highlighted as a strategic imperative for military and economic independence, driving technological progress. In particular, unmanned systems, domestic production projects, and high-tech solutions are critically important in addressing Türkiye’s regional security needs and supporting its vision as a global power.
