President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the ceremony held at the Istanbul Maritime Shipyard for the commissioning of the Test and Training Ship TCG Ufuk and made a speech. Emphasizing that Turkey owes all the moves required by its national interests in every field, from the fight against terrorism to cross-border operations, despite all the embargoes, both covert and open, President Erdoğan said that he owes the progress he has made in the defense industry.

“Thank God, we design, develop, manufacture and use systems that we need in a wide range of areas, from unmanned air-land-sea vehicles to helicopters, from weapons and ammunition to missiles, from air defense systems to electronic warfare. The number of countries using Turkish defense industry products is increasing every year. We expect our defense and aerospace exports to exceed 4 billion dollars by the end of this year.”
