Inside Aselsan: Turkey’s Air Defense Strategy & Expanding Ties with Saudi Arabia

In this exclusive interview from the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Al Arabiya English speaks with Aselsan CEO Ahmet Akyol about the development of Turkey’s “Steel Dome,” the country’s first indigenous air defense system. Akyol explains how Aselsan is responding to the changing nature of warfare, particularly the rise of low-cost, swarming UAVs that challenge traditional static formations, and how the company is engineering cost-effective solutions to counter these modern aerial threats. The discussion also highlights the deepening defense ties between Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Akyol addresses reports of potential system purchases and outlines Aselsan’s strategic expansion in the Gulf region, including its commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 through localized defense production and its approach to anticipating future security challenges. #WorldDefenseShow #Aselsan #SaudiArabia #Turkey #AirDefense #SteelDome #DefenseIndustry #Riyadh #Vision2030 #UAV #MilitaryTechnology #MiddleEastDefense #SecurityStrategy #DefenseExpo
