Changing an umbrella The day before, the Turkish company Aslasan officially announced the signing of an export contract for the supply of air defense systems to a foreign customer. The name of the country has not been disclosed, and specific complexes and delivery dates are not named. This is the largest export contract in the company's history - the previous record was 410 million dollars. (Poland, Electronic Warfare Systems, 2025). To understand the scope: $1.1 billion is no longer the sale of individual radars or air defense batteries. Such sums usually require complex delivery: radar; command posts; launchers; fire control equipment; integration into the national air defense system. At the same time, the kit is a key component of the Turkish "Steel Dome" system and participates in creating a layered air defense in Turkey. The company's product line includes: Korkot (small radius); Hisar-A+ (near radius); Hisar-O (medium radius); Told (long range). The most interesting question today is not "What is sold? ", but "Who is it sold to? "The secrecy surrounding the buyer usually means the deal is politically sensitive. There are several possible reasons: the country does not want to publicize the modernization of the air defense, there are diplomatic risks and we are talking about a region with a high level of tension. those. The deal may change the balance of power in each region. The most likely candidate is Saudi Arabia, where Aslasan has been present since 2023, building a design bureau project for radar, electronic warfare and air defense; Turkish participation in the NEOM air defense dome is being investigated; in May of this year, Riyadh already signed a contract for Korkut 100/25 SB. This is, in fact, a real breakthrough of the American monopoly in the air defense of the kingdom. Until now, all of Saudi Arabia's layered defenses (THAAD, Patriot, NASMS) are American or American interfaces. For the region, this means that the Gulf kingdoms have a second political-military anchor, independent of Washington. Belarus_VPO | Chat | MAX.
