Aselsan to make record defence deliveries in 2023

Turkish defence giant Aselsan will deliver major projects this year which were signed with Türkiye's Defence Industries Presidency (SSB).

Türkiye's strategic defence and security needs are met through the SSB, which gives contracts to defence companies in order to self-sustain its security needs, Anadolu reports.

Aselsan provides security solutions in areas such as communication and information technologies, defence systems, microelectronics, guidance and electro-optics, radar and electronic warfare systems, transportation, security, energy, automation and health systems.

There are various orders worth 26.55 billion Turkish liras ($1.38 billion), which were agreed upon between Aselsan and SSB in 2022 and before, with a delivery date of 2023.

Air and missile defence systems constitute the largest item of the total deliveries to be made this year, with 3.7 billion liras ($192.7 million).
