One of the largest global defense events, the International Defense Industry Fair, will exhibit Turkey’s and the world’s latest military and technology products in Istanbul this week, Anadolu Agency reported.

The four-day event, starting on Tuesday, will be organised under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, will be hosted by the Turkish National Defense Ministry, and organised by Turkey’s largest fair firm Tuyap in charge of the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation.

According to a Tuyap statement, the event will host around 1,200 firms from Turkey and foreign countries. Last year, the event was joined by over 1,000 participants and visited by some 76,000 professionals from 71 countries.

The 2021 edition of the event was planned for this May but postponed due to the pandemic measures.

The fair will host panels on different topics such as space studies, future technologies, and digital transformation.

The event will also exhibit a wide range of defense products in various fields, including land vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), weapons, simulators, radars, sonars, naval platform solutions, aviation systems, missiles, logistic vehicles, supply equipment, and security systems.
