Erdoğan's statement that Türkiye's enhanced defense capabilities symbolize national strength, independence, and contribute to regional security and stability was highlighted. Maariv noted that Türkiye's continuous growth in defense is closely monitored by other countries. African nations, inspired by Türkiye's model in Somalia, have requested similar systems for their own territories, such as Senegal seeking Turkish maritime patrol aircraft.
The newspaper concluded that Türkiye is becoming an increasingly sought-after partner in regional and international conflict resolution, with its global influence steadily rising. "These demands reflect high confidence in the Turkish Armed Forces and strengthen Türkiye's position as a diplomatic hub and regional peace actor," the report stated.
