Our most products came out as a result of these developments.”
Öztürk also stated “As TDU Savunma A.Ş. we started to produce one-to-one copies of the tanks in the TAF inventory to deceive the enemy. The Inflatable Counterfeit Targets, which consist of a skeleton and a special fabric, weigh 140 kilos and can be carried by hand. When inflated, it becomes a fake target. The False Targets were actively used for the purpose of confusing enemy terrorists during the Operation of the Olive Branch, and they continue to be used.”
