"The war in Ukraine has shown that NATO has insufficient production. Since the start of the war, European countries in particular have been trying to increase their manufacturing capacity,"
"It is clear to all of us that NATO must assume a completely different role in the geopolitical arena. In light of how our North Atlantic relations are developing and how the situation in Ukraine or even the situation with China is developing, the world suddenly seems relatively small,"
"We would be delighted if our two defense industries could cooperate with each other,"
Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted Germany to reassess security policy, combining support for Ukraine with accelerated efforts to bolster national defense capabilities. The conflict revealed NATO production shortfalls and drove European states to expand manufacturing capacity for military equipment. Germany has sought new industrial partners and identified Turkey as a strategic collaborator. High-level contacts between German and Turkish leaders emphasized closer defense ties and potential industrial cooperation. German procurement officials regard Turkey as a capable NATO partner with substantial armed forces and growing defense firms. Turkey's defense sector has expanded rapidly, with companies such as Baykar, Aselsan, TAI and Roket.
