Ankara, seeking to expand export markets, has actively courted Southeast Asia with defence expos, government-to-government deals, and co-production projects. Turkish systems like the Roketsan Atmaca missile and Aselsan’s SMASH 30mm gun will be integrated. The growing visibility of Turkish systems across Southeast Asia reflects deliberate marketing. Clients: Turkish drones and ships are now deployed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE—a sign of credibility in demanding markets.
