Turkish Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and electronic defense systems in the Russian-Ukraine war played a critical role in the field. Ukrainian officials, who participated in IDEF, emphasized that Bayraktar UAVs are decisive in the first stages of the war. Ivan Sybyriakov, Vice President of the Department of Unmanned Systems of Ukrainian State Company Sfte Spetstechnoexport, said, “Since the beginning of the war, military cooperation has increased significantly. Especially the Bayraktar UAVs have been among the elements that changed the course of the game. He played a role, “he said. Sybyriakov stated that the effectiveness of the systems supplied from Türkiye is proved in the field, “Ukraine has the advantage of directly testing the performance of the defense systems produced jointly with Turkey. These feedbacks continue to develop with Turkish producers.”

During the clashes between Israel and Iran last month, the United States’s penetrating bomb (NEB) had a wide repercussion on the world agenda. This development has made Türkiye’s work in similar areas into curiosity. Developed with domestic and national opportunities at the Ministry of National Defense (MSB) R & D Center, the ghost-2 penetrating bomb has successfully passed through all tests and reached the mass production stage. The NEB, which is 1 to 6 in 6 but has the same effect than its counterparts, was designed to leave intense damage to shelters and underground warehouses.

7 -meter concrete drills
While their counterparts in the world have a 1.8 – 2.4 meter drilling capacity, the ghost -2, 7 meters of concrete can drill. In the development process of the Ghost-2, the influence of ammunition was gradually tested. First, the trials made in fixed rail systems were then moved to accelerated systems. In the tests, C50 quality concrete was preferred in nuclear power plants instead of ordinary C35 -class concrete. Moreover, these concretes were strengthened by placing 25 mm thick ribbed steel knitting systems inside. In this way, ammunition proved its performance even in the most challenging conditions. All tests were completed and took their place in the international system. The ghost-2 was designed with a one-piece shell structure. During the drilling tests, the body was removed from the test area without showing any deformation despite the heavy impacts. This proved the durability and structural integrity of ammunition. Following the security tests by plane, the ghost-2 was left to a island within the borders of Türkiye.

Compatible with F-16
In the test, ammunition penetrated a depth of 90 meters and exploded by creating a horizontal effect of 160 meters. The data obtained revealed that even at the back of the island, the parts reached the sea and the air outlets from the water surface were observed. Compared to the 6-ton ammunition carried by the American army with B-52 aircraft, the ghost-2 exhibits deeper influence with about 1 ton weighing. The Ghost-2 is designed to be used with various air platforms, especially F-16 fighter planes.

TUBITAK, National Ramjet Motor-air missile Gökhan for the first time at the Istanbul Fair Center (IFM) on the 17th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) showed.

In this context, Gökhan’s range and abilities will be increased.

The first test this year
Minister of Industry and Technology Kacır, Gökhan’s most important goals in Türkiye, stating that the first air-air missiles with Bozdoğan and Gökdoğan with the hands of TUBITAK said. Kacır, “Now with Gökhan much more advanced -range, much higher and can work at a much higher and supersonic missile project will make a step -by -step reality. This year we will perform the first tests. Today we have taken our target target in the project. AA

‘Our country has become the center of attention’
National Defense Minister Yasar Guler also said that they had the opportunity to make bilateral meetings with a large number of National Defense Minister from abroad at the fair, “Very important issues.

Friday prayer in Üsküdar Hz. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who made the Ali Mosque, answered the questions of members of the press after the prayer. President Erdoğan said in a summary of the fires in the country, the developments in the Russian-Ukraine War and Defense Industry:

Struggle against fires: As of now, Karabük, Safranbolu, Antalya, Gazipaşa and Uşak Sivaslı are ongoing fires. Of course, 27 aircraft around here is currently active. Fire extinguishing activities continue with 105 helicopters. 6 thousand land vehicles, 25 thousand personnel continue this struggle. Unfortunately, we have martyrs. 9 of our martyrs were buried. One of them today (yesterday) I hope that his burial will be realized in Konya. May Allah have mercy on our martyrs. May their places be. May my Lord be our assistant. We faced a very very great disaster. And in this disaster, all of our firefighters made all kinds of heroism. But of course, these heroes in this fire circle could not stand out. And as a result, our martyrs were sent off to eternity. May Allah be our assistant.

I will meet with Putin and Trump: You know, the last meeting was in Çırağan. The Foreign Minister conducted the meeting in Çırağan on my behalf, and while the Foreign Minister carried out the negotiations there, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations came together and made their meetings. The Ukrainian delegation met with us in Ankara before moving to Çırağan. I accepted themselves. I had interviews with them. Of course, in the meantime, I had a meeting with Mr. Vladimir Putin and we asked for their support in these meetings. And in the future, we will be in an effort to bring these leaders together in Istanbul by making negotiations with Mr. Putin again this week, especially in this week, as well as Mr. Trump.

Potential in the defense industry has 4 times: Idef has really settled in a different position in the world, and the distance of Idef in the defense industry has a different place in the world. And for this, we started to receive serious orders. And these orders continue with all their strength. But first of all, you have to settle in a very different position in the defense industry. If you cannot catch that place in the defense industry, you cannot successfully maintain this struggle in the world. And thanks to all friends in the defense industry, they make all kinds of sacrifice. They make all their efforts. And when we took office, we had the potential of $ 20 billion. But now we have become a potential of $ 80 billion. I hope we will come even more powerful.
