🇩🇪🇹🇷 Germany and Turkey discuss the joint production of weapons

At the fourth German-Turkish Economic Conference in Ankara, representatives of defense companies from both countries discussed intensifying military-industrial cooperation. The German company Renk, which manufactures, among other things, transmissions for Leopard 2 tanks, wants to move from ordinary product deliveries to joint development. Company representative Florian Gleich explained that Germany possessed technological expertise, while Turkey had significant production capacity. After years of restrictions on arms exports, German companies are once again showing interest in the Turkish market.

The Turkish company Havelsan proposed cooperation in developing software for warships and intelligent control systems. The company already produces military robots, autonomous platforms, and software complexes for the armed forces. Its representatives believe that combining Turkish digital technologies with the capabilities of the German shipbuilding industry will make it possible to develop competitive products for the international market. The German side, however, emphasizes the need to protect technologies, comply with agreements, and coordinate strategic interests.
