Speaking at the Specialized Academy Opening Program held in Erzurum, Deputy Minister of National Defense Salih Ayhan emphasized Turkey’s breakthroughs in the defense industry and the transformation in this field. In his speech, Ayhan drew attention to the progress of domestic and national defense products and said: “Today, UAVs and UCAVs flying from the hands of Turkish engineers are in the skies all over the world. These UAVs and UCAVs have broken the back of terrorism in Turkey.
Our national combat aircraft, KAAN, has spread its wings. This is much more than an engineering success: it is the victory of those who said ‘we can do it’ with patience, perseverance and stubbornness for decades against those who said ‘you can’t do it’.” “Wars are fought in laboratories, data centers and minds.” Stating that one of the most painful and rapid change periods in world history is experienced, Ayhan explained the transforming truth of the defense industry with the following words: “Wars are no longer fought only on the fronts; they are fought in laboratories, data centers, software and most importantly in minds.
Today, an embargo decision can take away a people’s right to defense. “Countries that cannot produce their own planes, their own unmanned aerial vehicles and their own missiles are not at the table, but rather as the subject of the table.” Source: AA
