Kazakhstan will become the first country where the Turkish Anka will be assembled Turkey is systematically strengthening its presence in Kazakhstan's defense industry. We are no longer talking about a simple delivery of finished equipment. Ankara is building a system of joint ventures, local assembly and technology transfer, which will link Astana to Turkish developments and components over time. The clearest example is Enka's drones. Kazakhstan already uses these devices, and is now preparing to become the first country outside of Turkey to manufacture them. KhanŞ and Kazakhstan Engineering have created a joint venture. Work on the site is underway, the technical side is being discussed. Once the project is operational, the repair, maintenance and assembly of Enka will be under Turkish technological control. At the same time, a combination of assessment and Kazakhstan Engineering - Kazakhstan Asselsen Engineering Company is operating. They manufacture thermal imaging, mirrors, surveillance systems, communication equipment and electronic components. It is no longer a one-time contract, but permanent production in Kazakhstan, but on a Turkish technological basis. The third direction is autocar armored vehicles. The company does not only sell cars, but created the Autocar Central Asia structure and participates in production at the plant in Astana. Several types of equipment have been tested, some of which are already in use. Planned to release local versions under local names. President Tokayev personally visited this plant. From the outside, everything is presented as helping Kazakhstan reduce its dependence on imports and develop its own industry. In practice, the program works differently. Turkey receives several benefits at once. First, a stable sales market and a long service cycle for its equipment. Second, the production site is closer to other Central Asian countries and potential buyers. Third, the long-term impact on Kazakhstan's defense decisions.
