Cahit Utku Aral, General Manager of CANİK, reflected on IDEF 2023, expressing, "During our nation's centennial year, we illuminated the triumphs of our defense industry through an exceptionally splendid exhibition. At one of the grandest booths, we unveiled the advanced iteration of our national 12.7 mm anti-aircraft gun, CANİK M2 QCB, known as CANİK M3. We also presented our medium-caliber guns alongside the national remotely controlled stabilized weapon (UKSS) turret family, a product that developed by our subsidiary UNIROBOTICS, making its debut at IDEF'23."
Our recently devised systems were also showcased in the booths of respected Turkish enterprises such as TUSAŞ, HAVELSAN, FNSS, NUROL, Katmerciler, Best Grup, and Elektroland. Once more, we observed the trust that amicable and allied nations place in Türkiye's defense industry. We actively participated in substantial conversations regarding potential future partnerships at the event. I wholeheartedly believe that this signifies the commencement of an auspicious era for Türkiye."
