The video series Turkey’s Defense Arsenal (Savunmadaki Türkler) by one of the country’s most prominent digital publications, Yeni Şafak, has captured the special attention of global audiences, keeping them informed about the progress made by Ankara under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as the country takes giant leaps towards self-sufficiency in the field of defense.
Launching in mid-2020 and over the course of 60 episodes, the video series has kept its viewers up to date on the latest and exciting developments shaking up Turkey’s fast-growing defense industry.
Examining the technical specifications of the latest models of Ankara’s globally lauded drones, Turkey’s Defense Arsenal also gives its viewers the political context surrounding the latest developments that spurred the production of certain models, following a series of bans on the sale of crucial technology to Turkey in a bid to stall its progress.
With episodes amassing hundreds of thousands of views, the series, narrated in Turkish and accompanied by English subtitles, has attracted viewership from across the world as enthusiastic fans feverishly discuss the latest episodes on YouTube.
In recent years, Yeni Şafak has been reaching wider audiences with its multi-lingual projects that include Turkish elections coverage and a digital library on the failed July 15 coup attempt.
