C4Defence: IDEF 2021 takes place with great participation at a time of global restrictions in all sectors. What is Turkey’s message to the world with IDEF?

President of Defense Industry (SSB) Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir: As of 2020, the defense industry sector, like all sectors, was significantly affected by the epidemic that affected the world. The defense industry fairs planned to be held around the world in 2020 could not be held.

IDEF will be an arena where we will show the world the progress Turkey has made in the defense industry.
