However, the announcement by TUSAŞ (TAI) CEO Mehmet Demiroğlu regarding the localization of component production within Azerbaijani borders signals a transition toward a high-tech industrial future. This shift is not merely a tactical arrangement between allies; it is a profound strategic evolution that offers Azerbaijan transformative benefits in terms of sovereignty, economic diversification, and intellectual capital.
