Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Turkey’s Defense Industry Agency (SSB) marked its 41st anniversary with President Haluk Görgün saying domestic content in defense production has risen above 80%, up from a starting point of 62 projects to about 1,500 active programs now worth more than $100 billion combined. The shift from import-dependent procurement to technology exports underscores how far Turkey’s defense sector has moved toward self-sufficiency and external sales. Watch for further localization targets and export contract announcements as the agency converts its project pipeline into revenue.
