AS THE REGIONAL MILITARY POWER TURKEY NEEDS TO EVOLVE AND DEVELOP IT'S OWN INDIGENOUS DEFENCE TECHNOLOGIES AND INDUSTRY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT SINCE IT'S DEFENCE U TURN IN THE 1970S IT CAN SUPPLY UP TO 70% OF IT'S OWN REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS GREAT NEWS BUT IT NEEDS TO BE 100%. THE WEST NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S MONOPOLY OVER HITECH IS OVER AND IT'S TERMS UNACCEPTABLE. THE BLACKMAIL BY WESTERN POWERS NEEDS TO BE NEUTRALISED.
THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH SANCTIONS BY THE USA AND NATO IS TO DEVELOP INDIGENOUS CAPABILITIES IN THEIR OWN MILITARY DEFENCE INDUSTRIES. PAKISTAN, TURKEY, IRAN AND MALAYSIA ARE LEADING THE WAY AND THIS IS GOOD NEWS. THIS NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED FURTHER BY COORDINATION WITH NATIONAL AND PAN ISLAMIC POLICIES AND STRATEGIES, INVESTMENT AS WELL AS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH WORLD CLASS SUPPLY CHAINS DEVELOPED.

Presidency of Defence Industries head Ismail Demir says the sanctions imposed by US are not expected to “affect our relationships too much”. Turkey's defence industry announced recent US sanctions will not hinder its development plans. The head of the country's Defense Industries Presidency (SSB) Ismail Demir said on Tuesday: "The development of the domestic industry will continue, perhaps even faster. In a sense, this [sanctions] will be a flare and a warning."
The US Treasury Department on Monday imposed sanctions on Turkey over its purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defence system. "We expect this not to affect our relationships too much," Demir told reporters following budget deliberations in parliament.
The sanctions, under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), avoided targeting Turkey's economy generally, focusing on its arms procurement and development body SSB, its chairman Demir, his deputy and two officials responsible for air defence systems. Underlining Turkey's NATO membership, Demir said Ankara has relations with the US in several fields. He added that both sides aim to continue these relations.
In April 2017, when its protracted efforts to buy an air defence system from the US proved fruitless, Turkey signed a contract with Russia to acquire the S-400 shield. US officials have voiced opposition to their deployment, claiming they would be incompatible with NATO systems and would expose next-generation F-35 jets to possible Russian subterfuge. Turkey, however, stressed that the S-400 would not be integrated into NATO systems, and posed no threat to the alliance or its armament.
