The Turkish Defence & Aerospace Update On-Line

Created in 1990 as an English language sister to Savunma ve Havacılık [the only technically specialized defence and aerospace magazine of Turkey] in a move to complete the information loop, Turkish Defence & Aerospace Update is a monthly newsletter devoted to providing news on the modernisation of the Turkish Armed Forces and the growing Turkish Defence Industry.
Authoritative, concise and up-to-the-minute, Turkish Defence & Aerospace Update provides an inside look into the status of the Turkish Armed Forces' modernisation and procurement programmes.

Nowhere can you find detailed information so up-to-date and accurate, making Turkish Defence & Aerospace Update the only newsletter in its field, and therefore an essential tool for companies looking to get a foothold in this huge market.
After a 1o-month break, Turkish Defence & Aerospace Update is to return, resuming its inside look into the status of the Turkish Armed Forces' modernisation and procurement activities and news on the Turkish Defence Industry sector, but will now only be available online at the www.monch.com.tr/td&au address.
