ASELSAN Showcases Indigenous Defense Systems at EFES-2026 Exercise
ASELSAN, a leading company in Turkey’s defense industry, made a significant impact at the EFES-2026 multinational military exercise by showcasing its domestically developed defense systems. The exercise, which included the Turkish Armed Forces and NATO allies, provided a realistic operational environment where ASELSAN’s advanced technologies were tested and proven effective.
The EFES-2026 exercise involved complex combat scenarios and close multinational cooperation.
