Conclusion and Future Perspective
These strategic signatures and intense contacts established in Istanbul clearly demonstrate the will of Turkey and Saudi Arabia to reduce foreign dependency in the defense industry and write their own rules in the regional security architecture. Thanks to joint production models, technology transfer, and joint R&D investments, the armed forces of both countries will be equipped with more resilient systems against the complex threat environment of the future. In the upcoming period, the transformation of these agreements into concrete platform projects reflected in the field will carry both countries to a much more dominant and competitive position in the global defense market.
