AI-generated summary
ASELSAN has recently signed large-scale contracts at the billion-euro level with the Presidency of Defense Industries and ROKETSAN.
ASELSAN signed a new sales contract worth 488.5 million euros for the export of air defense systems with an end user abroad.
ASELSAN announced that it signed an air defense systems export contract worth 488.5 million euros with an end user abroad on October 2, 2026.
In the statement made to KAP, it was stated that the contract covers the export of air defense systems. However, the country with which the contract was signed, the names, quantities and delivery schedule of the systems to be delivered were not disclosed to the public.
It is unknown which systems will be exported
Since ASELSAN's statement only uses the phrase "Air Defense Systems", it is not possible at this stage to directly associate the contract with a specific system such as SİPER, HİSAR or KORKUT.
Similarly, it is not disclosed whether the contract consists of a single system or more than one air defense solution. For this reason, new statements by ASELSAN or the relevant customer are expected for a more detailed evaluation of the scope of the 488.5 million euro agreement.
ASELSAN's air defense contracts are growing
The new export agreement comes after the high-amount contracts announced by ASELSAN in the field of air defense in 2026.
The company recently announced a new contract of 1.0085 billion euros with the Presidency of Defense Industries for the serial production of long-range air defense systems, and also announced a 1.234 billion euros agreement with ROKETSAN within the scope of the supply of subcomponents for air defense systems.
With the new 488.5 million euro export contract, ASELSAN's international sales activities in the field of air defense are also expanding.
