Turkey’s defense exports reached $4.4 billion last year, the country's highest level ever, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday.
“Our defense exports … reached $4.4 billion, breaking a record,” Erdogan said at a delivery ceremony for six next-generation Firtina howitzers in Turkey’s northwestern province of Sakarya. The howitzers were locally manufactured by the joint Qatari-Turkish venture BMC.
