Bilateral Cooperation: Turkey set to buy Korean tank landing ships

The Korea Times reports defense officials from South Korea and Turkey opened five-day talks over bilateral defense cooperation in Ankara, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).

A top priority is South Korea's cooperation on Turkey's shipbuilding program to develop amphibious large-deck landing ships and tank landing ships, a DAPA official said. Turkey also wants to purchase the South Korean Army's K-10 ammunition re-supply vehicles, he said.
