AUTHENTIC COMMUNIQUE OF THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Security Clearance: Secure and Encrypted ŞİFRELEME KORUMASI: KAPLUĞA​

[Recipient]: Hla Min, Minister of Defence < Alex > [Sender]: Minister of National Defense, Türkiye < TTTayanMSB@tr.gov > [Subject]: Confidential // esponse to Defence Procurement Request

Your Excellency, I extend my greetings and appreciation for your continued commitment to strengthening the defence cooperation between the Republic of Türkiye and the Empire of Myanmar. Following a thorough review of our current production schedules and strategic export commitments, I regret to inform you that Türkiye is unable, at this time, to fulfill the direct export order for twenty-five (25) Bayraktar B Mini UAV systems as previously discussed. However, in the spirit of our mutual partnership, I am authorised to propose an alternative arrangement: Bayraktar B Mini UAV: Türkiye is prepared to extend to Myanmar a limited domestic production licence, free of charge, for the manufacture of the aforementioned 25 units. Technical support, documentation, and limited transfer of production technology would be provided by Baykar Makina under a separate technical cooperation agreement. TAI Gözcü UAV: Rather than direct delivery, Türkiye proposes granting Myanmar a paid production licence for the Gözcü platform at a licence fee of USD 25,800,000. This licence would authorise Myanmar to produce up to 200 units of the Gözcü UAV domestically. Both sales would be subject to the same TDEC conditions. This structure would grant Myanmar long-term independence in sustaining and scaling UAV production for its operational requirements. Separately, I would also like to draw your attention to the previous request for an anti-air defense system. Türkiye is interested in selling five of its S-400s. As interest from other potential buyers remains strong, we encourage the Ministry of Defence of Myanmar to signal its position on this acquisition at the earliest possible date to secure favourable delivery timelines and associated training packages. I remain confident that these proposals can form the basis for an expanded and enduring defense partnership between our nations. I look forward to your considered response so that our respective technical teams may proceed with the necessary contractual and logistical arrangements. Yours sincerely, Turhan Tayan Minister of National Defence Republic of Türkiye
