土耳其国防工业署署长哈卢克·戈尔古周三表示，土耳其与西班牙将共同研发“Hurjet”喷气式教练机的联合版本，西班牙的分包商也将参与相关工作。
Türkiye and Spain will develop a joint version of the Hurjet jet trainer incorporating contributions from Spanish subcontractors, Turkish Defense Industries Secretary Haluk Gorgun said Wednesday.
在安卡拉举行的“土耳其国防与航空航天产业合作日”开幕式上，戈尔古称西班牙选择“Hurjet”作为本国空军的教练机，是两国合作最具代表性的成果。
Speaking at the opening of Ida Türkiye Defense and Aerospace Industrial Cooperation Days in Ankara, Gorgun described Spain's selection of Hurjet for its air force as the most prominent example of cooperation between the two countries.
他说：“‘Hurjet’的初始版本将由土耳其航空航天工业公司负责制造与交付。在西班牙分包商的协助以及当地认证流程完成后，我们将推出一款有望成为两国共同使用平台的机型。”
“The initial versions of Hurjet will be manufactured and delivered by Turkish Aerospace Industries. But with contributions from subcontractors in Spain and additional certification there, we will deliver a version that could become a joint platform for the two countries,” he said.
他补充道，该机型将首先满足西班牙的需求，随后再向其他北约成员国及友好国家推广。
The aircraft would initially meet Spain's requirements before being offered to other NATO members and friendly countries, he added.
戈尔古对西班牙作为新合作模式下的首个伙伴国参与此次活动表示欢迎，并指出此类中小型企业国际交流活动是深化两国产业联系的重要途径。
Gorgun welcomed Spain's participation as the first partner country under the event's new cooperation model, saying international gatherings of small- and medium-sized enterprises provide an important way to strengthen industrial ties.
本次活动由奥斯蒂姆国防与航空产业集群主办，得到了土耳其国防部及国防工业署的支持，在安卡拉的康格雷西姆会议中心拉开帷幕。安纳多卢通讯社担任其全球传播合作伙伴。
Organized by the OSTIM Defense and Aviation Cluster with support from Türkiye's National Defense Ministry and Defense Industries Secretariat, the event opened at Congresium Ankara. Anadolu serves as its global communication partner.
据戈尔古介绍，今年土耳其国防产业出口额已突破74亿美元，这一数值与去年全年的出口总额持平。
Defense exports exceed $7.4B Gorgun said Türkiye's defense industry exports had exceeded $7.4 billion this year, already matching the previous year's total.
他指出，该产业拥有4000多家企业，从业人员近13万人，平均年龄为34岁。
He said the sector comprises more than 4,000 companies and nearly 130,000 employees, with an average age of 34.
考虑到国防产品出口的季节性规律，戈尔古表示每年最后两个月的出口量通常显著高于月均水平，因此预计全年出口额还将超过去年。
Highlighting the seasonal pattern of defense exports, Gorgun said shipments in the final two months typically significantly exceed the monthly average, supporting expectations that annual exports would surpass last year's level.
他认为，土耳其的工业化模式推动了该产业的进步，使得相关企业得以从单纯的产品采购转向自主设计并出口整机平台。
He attributed the industry's progress to Türkiye's industrialization model, which has enabled a transition from direct procurement to indigenous designs and platform exports.
西班牙巴伦西亚大区工业部副部长费利佩·哈维尔·卡拉斯科·托雷斯表示，与土耳其开展合作有助于推动该地区国防与安全产业的发展。
Felipe Javier Carrasco Torres, deputy industry minister of Spain's Valencia region, said cooperation with Türkiye could help expand the region's defense and security industries.
他指出，巴伦西亚拥有涵盖传统制造业及半导体、光子学、航空航天和无人机等新兴技术领域的产业集群，目前当地企业主要服务于民用市场。
Valencia has industrial clusters spanning traditional manufacturing and emerging technologies, including semiconductors, photonics, aerospace and drones, he said, adding that its companies currently serve mainly civilian markets.
托雷斯邀请土耳其实业界人士参加定于明年9月在巴伦西亚举办的国防与安全产业论坛，并强调与其他国家和机构开展合作将有助于该地区更快提升相关产业能力。
Torres invited Turkish industrialists to a defense and security industry event planned in Valencia next September, emphasizing that cooperation with other countries and institutions would help the region develop capabilities more quickly.
