ASELSAN has announced that it has signed an export contract valued at USD 410 million with Poland State Treasury – Armament Agency.
The contract signing took place on 19 December for the direct sale of advanced Electronic Warfare Systems.
The agreement
The company notes that this agreement carries strategic importance on several fronts as it covers Electronic Warfare, one of the most critical and technologically demanding domains of modern defence and is concluded with Poland, a key NATO member possessing one of the alliance’s largest armed forces.
The contract was awarded following a competitive tender process in which ASELSAN outperformed international competitors.
ASELSAN highlights that this outcome reflects the company’s strong technological depth, operational maturity and proven competence.
Europe and NATO
Poland’s decision to select ASELSAN for such a strategic capability represents a strong endorsement of its advanced solutions and system-level expertise, the company notes.
This preference is expected to serve as an important reference for ASELSAN’s positioning in other European and NATO markets.
As the operator of Europe’s largest Electronic Warfare facility, ASELSAN highlights that it will now deliver high-technology Electronic Warfare systems to one of NATO’s leading armies.
The company explains that the contract stands as a major milestone as well as a significant achievement for Türkiye’s defence industry.
Strategic importance
During the signing ceremony, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz underlined the strategic importance of the agreement.
He noted that the agreement with ASELSAN had been under negotiation for a long period and that its finalisation followed immediately after his official visit to Türkiye.
Highlighting Türkiye’s defence-industrial transformation, Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasised that over the past 20 years Türkiye has evolved from a country importing around 80% of its military equipment to one that now sources only 20% from abroad.
ASELSAN notes that he described this as an extraordinary development of the defence industry, particularly in terms of advanced capabilities in the air domain.
