Elvan Çetinkaya, General Manager of Independence Defense, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they have shaped their investment decisions to close the gap in the ammunition groups that the country needs.

Emphasizing that they carry out a meticulous work in line with the expectations and criteria of the MSB and SSB for the factory, Çetinkaya stated that these efforts have reached the final stage. Çetinkaya, “We are ready for construction and production at the end of comprehensive work. In this direction, we aim to start operating safely and bring these products to the security forces. Of course, we will not be limited to this. We know that there is a very serious demand for these products due to conflicts and security risks in various parts of the world. We also aim to offer our products to friendly and allied countries,” he said.
