There is a switch from direct arms sales to military
technology transfer to produce arms in the name of selfsufficiency.
The value of domestic arms production at the
beginning of the 1980s was about 500 times higher than that
at the beginning of the 1950s. By the early 1980s, more than
50 developing countries were producing weapons . The evidence
indicates that Turkey has relatively enough arms production
potential. However, there is a technological gap which needs
to be closed. Turkey should first follow a "path strategy"
to create minimum required technological base by using some
form of military technology transfer. Then, in the efforts
toward indigenous arms production "engineering strategy" may be applied.
