Thanks to MKE’s strategic investments, the Turkish defence industry is boosting its strength on the operational front by ramping up serial delivery capacity. There’s been a notable surge recently in MKE’s deliveries to the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF). Over the past month, MKE has added a range of indigenous systems and ammunition to the inventories of the Land, Air, and Naval Forces Commands.
The production lines modernised under MKE’s previously announced $1.5 billion investment programme have significantly increased output over the last month.
