IDEF 2025 opened its doors to visitors

The International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025), held in Istanbul from July 22-27, opened its doors to visitors for the first time on its fifth day. Featuring leading companies such as ASELSAN, TAI, ROKETSAN, and HAVELSAN, the fair attracted considerable interest in new products and technologies developed for the defense industry. Guests flocked to the fairgrounds from the morning hours to closely examine the systems on display.

Yavuz Alparslan Yılmaz, who visited the fair, said, "It was a very different experience. It was nice to swing around a bit. Frankly, I had fun. The fair is good for now. We're seeing new places. There are job opportunities. That's generally the case. I thank KAAN Simulation for providing us with this experience."

"Thanks to our defense industry, we don't need foreign resources."

Saim Kayadibi said, "I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings. Our hearts are swell. We are proud of how strong our weapons and defense industry is. The fact that both spare parts and technology have been introduced in their entirety is truly magnificent. We are happy and proud. May God protect our state and our nation. We see how strong our country has become in the defense industry with these technologies, and how we can defend ourselves without relying on external sources."

'SUNDAY WE FOUND OURSELVES IN SIMULATIONS'

Betül Uygur said, "We just arrived. We're suddenly in simulations, not knowing how to use them. We're trying to figure things out. It's fun for us. We came with my father, who's more interested in these matters. He shares his knowledge with me, so I'm learning more. We've visited most of the stands so far. There are only one or two left. This is our last stop."
