DEMİROĞLU: TÜRKİYE MAKES A STRATEGIC CONTRIBUTION TO NATO’S FUTURE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

Commenting on the new approach to the defence industry outlined at the NATO Summit held in Ankara, Dr. Mehmet Demiroğlu stated: “The new security paradigm described as 'NATO 3.0' demonstrates that security is shaped not only by military power, but also by a strong defence industry, sustainable production capacity, resilient supply chains, technological superiority and joint industrial cooperation among allies. Türkiye’s defence industry ecosystem makes significant contributions to this new understanding of security. Turkish Aerospace, with its indigenous platforms and engineering capabilities, is also one of the strategic actors strengthening NATO’s collective deterrence. We want to see a stronger NATO with contributions from both sides of the Atlantic. Türkiye is making a strategic contribution to NATO’s future security architecture."

“HÜRJET STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN THE NATO ECOSYSTEM”

Emphasizing that the export of HÜRJET to Spain is not merely a commercial success, Demiroğlu stated: “It is a strategic step that strengthens the position of advanced aviation technologies developed by Türkiye within the European and NATO ecosystem. HÜRJET can be adapted to meet the needs of different users and operate in accordance with NATO standards.”
