At the port of Douala in Cameroon, Ezder Yalchin vehicles are transported for the Chadian army.
These armoured vehicles were produced by the private sector (Nurol Makina company), of course with the support of the Turkish state.
Turkey is using its defence industry to spread its influence across the African continent.
Ankara now produces and manufactures more than 60% of the weapons systems available to its armed forces, with the prospect of being fully independent of external factors in the next ten years.
It is no longer just a producer country but also an exporter of defence equipment.
It is worth pointing out that a new rift in US-Turkey relations has been created by the sales of armed drones by Ankara to Ethiopia, according to a Reuters report.
According to sources cited by the agency, the drones have already been used by the Ethiopian government against rebels in Tigray.
Washington has “deep humanitarian concerns” about the sales, which could contravene US restrictions on arms supplies to Addis Ababa, a senior Western official said.
