Overview
The arms export of Turkey in 2024 amounted to 332 millions of TIVs (Trend Indicator Value, a special metric developed by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute — SIPRI), which is 52.5% less than in 2023, when it was 699 millions of TIVs. This is the first year of decline after a period of growth. According to the SIPRI statistics, since 1956, the volume of arms export has not changed. The lowest arms export was recorded in 1997, with a value of 0 millions of TIVs. The maximum arms export of Turkey was in 2023, when it reached 699 millions of TIVs. SIPRI calculates the volume of transfers to, from and between all parties using the TIV and the number of weapon systems or subsystems delivered in a given year. This data is intended to provide a common unit to allow the measurement of trends in the flow of arms to particular countries and regions over time.
