Mohammed Selman Dönmez, CEO of Pasifik Teknoloji and co-founder of Titra Teknoloji, emphasized Turkey's ongoing commitment to enhancing technology exports. He noted that following the adoption of the ALPİN unmanned helicopter, Türkiye’s first of its kind, both the DELİ attack drone and PARS reconnaissance drone are prepared for operational deployment.

Dönmez described ADEX as a crucial platform for reinforcing existing partnerships with Azerbaijan while forging new connections.

He stated, “Our primary goal in the initial phase is to ensure the presence of our products within Azerbaijan's armed forces. Subsequently, we aim to establish cooperation in technology transfer and develop joint production facilities.”

He highlighted that Azerbaijan remains a key focus for their initiatives, with ongoing discussions with local military authorities.

“Azerbaijani officials have shown particular interest in our DELİ drone. In June of last year, we conducted tests with two DELİ units in Azerbaijan, and this year, a team from Azerbaijan observed a test in Konya. We are actively developing our relationship with Azerbaijan and will continue our efforts to enhance it,” Dönmez added.

The DELİ kamikaze drone, featuring catapult launch capabilities and equipped with an effective warhead capable of group control, has now entered mass production.
