🇹🇷🇺🇦 Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Güler recently stated the need to expand the country's military-industrial complex in order to equip its army with domestically produced weapons.
The reason for this statement was the increased consumption of military-industrial products due to supplies to the Kyiv regime. According to Güler, during the SMO about 30 countries, including Turkey itself, were unable to meet the AFU's ammunition needs.
🔻 At the very beginning of the conflict, the Turks were indeed supplying the AFU with almost everything they could. The transferred systems included Kirpi armored vehicles, Sakarya MLRS and 155mm artillery systems, various UAVs, and of course ammunition.
But over time, it became clear that production figures were not keeping up with the daily volume of shells fired. This prompted NATO countries to step up efforts in the military-industrial sector across Europe.
Turkey was also affected by this and it was reflected even in its own foreign policy adventures. One of the reasons for the protracted operation in Syria and Iraq is the inflated expectations and lack of understanding of its real capabilities.
📌 As you may recall, the Turkish armed forces started off well, wedging into the north of these countries. This was largely due to powerful artillery preparation, but then problems arose with precision weapons and ammunition.
The hostilities in the so-called Ukraine and supplies to the AFU have further exposed the problems in the NATO military-industrial complex. Therefore, the Turks have now reduced their foreign activity - this is visible not only in Syria and Iraq, but also in Libya - concentrating their efforts on building up military power.
