Consequently, it\u2019s unclear how much of the $5.5 billion stems from new contracts signed in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haluk Gorgun, who leads the country\u2019s Presidency of Defence Industries, shared on social media that the total value of contracts signed by Turkish defense companies in 2023 reached <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/halukgorgun\/status\/1743301833508945952?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">$10.2 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/halukgorgun\/status\/1742962517138161832?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">top 10 Turkish exporters<\/a> contributed to nearly 80% of the export revenue, according to Gorgun. Those leading companies, their specialties and their respective figures from foreign sales are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Baykar (drones): $1.8 billion<\/li><li>Turkish Aerospace Industries (aerospace systems): $864 million<\/li><li>Machinery and Chemical Industry (ammunition, explosives and guns): $439 million<\/li><li>Tusas Engine Industries (aerospace engines): $337 million<\/li><li>BMC (military vehicles): $255 million<\/li><li>Roketsan (missiles): $161 million<\/li><li>Ram Dis Ticaret (military vehicles): $160 million<\/li><li>Pratt &amp; Whitney\u2019s Turkish Technik (repair and overhaul services): $111 million<\/li><li>Aselsan (electronics): $108 million<\/li><li>Samsun Yurt Savunma (aerospace and firearms): $104 million<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Aselsan, Turkish Aerospace Industries and Roketsan were on Defense News\u2019 latest <a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=\"_blank\">Top 100 list<\/a>, which ranks contractors around the world by defense-related revenue. Askeri Fabrika ve Tersane Isletme was also on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Roketsan\u2019s main exports is the MAM family of munition, used by Baykar and TAI unmanned platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samsun Yurt Savunma is the parent company of Canik Firearms, a firearms manufacturer in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ram Dis Ticaret acts as the export firm for the local industry conglomerate Koc Holding, which itself owns military vehicle manufacturer Otokar.
