  "account": "Ankara, Eskisehir. Turkey has taken a bold step in asserting its military prowess by supplying a significant package of weapons to Ukraine. This package includes 70 ATACMS type artillery rockets, multiple rocket launchers, and nearly 50,000 artillery shells. These weapons, which are of older design, are primarily of US origin and are intended to aid Ukraine in its defense against Russia.\n\nTurkey can afford to provide these weapons, as it has developed a robust domestic defense industry that is increasingly making its mark on the international market. This growth has been influenced, but also constrained, by a conflict with the United States. The extent of Turkey's newfound self-confidence is demonstrated by the sharp increase in the value of its exports. While the industry was worth about $200 million a century ago, it grew to $8.5 billion last year alone. In the first seven months of this year, exports increased by more than 26 percent compared to the same period last year, reaching nearly $5.8 billion.\n\nAccording to the Stockholm Peace Research Institute SIPRI, Turkey ranks eleventh among the world's largest arms exporters between 2021 and 2025. Its share of the global market has doubled from 0.9 percent in the previous five-year period to 1.8 percent.",
