The thing is not that how much indigenous content we both have or what system was copied to make that. The thing is that the curve Turkish defence industry follows is way way steeper than ours.
In 2009 the first ATAK flew with Italian assistance and by 2023 they'd moved on to ATAK 2. This goes same for multiple platforms.
But in our case some things just stop evolving or even if they do, the curve is so gradual that things start to become obsolete even before induction.
That is not what is being discussed here.
I think the whole forum would be in agreement that the Cockroach defense industry moves much faster than ours, same as the defence industry of our beloved Northern neighbor that is now rivaling the USN in tonnage
