Turkish defense company ARCA Defense and the Estonian Ministry of Defense signed an agreement on Wednesday to establish an ammunition production facility in Estonia during the SAHA 2026 International Defense and Aerospace Exhibition in Istanbul.
The exhibition, organized by SAHA Istanbul, is being held at the Istanbul Expo Center. Anadolu is serving as the event’s global communications partner.
The signing ceremony was attended by Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, ARCA Defense Chairman Ismail Terlemez, ARCA Defense Board Member Ozgur Rodoplu, and SAHA Istanbul Chairman Haluk Bayraktar.
Speaking at the ceremony, Guler recalled attending another signing event in Estonia five years ago with Pevkur that involved vehicles purchased from Turkish armored vehicle manufacturer Otokar.
“Now, I want to express my great pleasure to be here at the signing ceremony of such an agreement between our Estonian friends and ARCA, one of the leading companies in our country,” said Guler.
