ASELSAN exports region by region
ASELSAN’s exports are not tied to a single market; it operates across continents with different product families. One notable milestone was that 16 products were delivered to allied nations for the first time in 2025.
Europe and NATO
The strongest European example is Poland. A $410 million electronic-warfare deal signed in December 2025 ranks among ASELSAN’s largest contracts with a NATO member and signals its credibility in the Western defense market.
Gulf and Middle East
In the Gulf, Kuwait stands out, having procured the HISAR-O air-defense system in 2024. Saudi Arabia is on the agenda of a broader defense collaboration alongside Baykar and ROKETSAN. ASELSAN’s partnership in Jordan (ASELSAN Middle East / BAAT) is an important regional base for production and support.
Caucasus and Central Asia
Azerbaijan is one of ASELSAN’s longest-standing partners; the company’s first overseas affiliate was ASELSAN Baku, established in 1998. Azerbaijan procured the HISAR-A air-defense system in 2023. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are also part of the expanding export network.
Africa and Asia
In Africa, Nigeria is a prominent market where ASELSAN opened an office to strengthen its presence. In the Asia-Pacific, the Philippines is among the newly opened offices.

The strategy behind export growth
ASELSAN’s export model is not limited to selling products. It builds long-term customer relationships by opening local offices and affiliates in target markets. A physical presence in 25 countries is decisive for technical support and sustainable supply. Newly opened units include Uzbekistan, Nigeria, the Philippines, Albania, Algeria and Romania. This strategy helped export contracts rise 104 percent in a year to $2.07 billion.
