Turkey’s Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) put forth steps and strategies to boost exports by the defense industry.

The Undersecretariat prepared export strategies for integration of the defense industry sector to the international market.

A credit mechanism will be formed and the Association of Defense Industry Exporters will be established to increase service and product exports, officials told the AA correspondent.

Products of the defense industry will be promoted and marketed in the international platform in a more effective way.

Turkish defense sector can claim a strong presence in the market in a broad range of areas: from aerospace, naval shipbuilding, and tracked and wheeled armored vehicles, to specialized textile, armaments and munitions, missiles and rocketry and advanced defence electronics.
