Turkish Defence Industry

Once dependent on external suppliers, Türkiye’s defence industry has rapidly transformed into a strategic pillar of national security and geopolitical influence. Indigenous production, technological innovation, and expanding export capacity have reshaped Türkiye’s role in regional and global defence markets.

​

This committee examines the development of the Turkish defence industry in an era marked by shifting security threats, technological competition, and evolving alliances. Delegates will confront questions of sustainability, strategic autonomy, international cooperation, and ethical responsibility as defence capabilities continue to expand.
