BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1.
Work on the assembly of "Az 122" munitions has currently begun in
Azerbaijan, and it’s planned to rapidly increase the share of
domestic production, CEO of Azroksan, Mehmet Ali Tahancalio, told
Trend on Thursday
on the sidelines of the ADEX 2026.


According to him, in parallel, both the establishment of
facilities and the production process are ongoing.


He noted that the goal is to manufacture all required types of
ammunition in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defense and
the Ministry of Defense Industry.


"The initial phase envisages the production of the 'AZ 122', 'AZ
230', and 'AZG 300' products (modern unguided rocket systems).


Furthermore, plans are in place to manufacture the 'Teber'
family (laser and GPS/INS guidance kits produced by the Turkish
company Roketsan) in Azerbaijan in the near future through a
partnership with Roketsan," he added.


This year, 53 countries are represented at the “ADEX” and
“Securex Caspian” exhibitions. A total of 280 companies and
organizations from 30 countries are participating in the

ADEX, an important platform for international and
military-technical cooperation, traditionally attracts influential
guests and delegations from various countries. Fifty-nine foreign
delegations from 39 countries are participating in ADEX 2026.


One of the main highlights of the “ADEX 2026” exhibition was the

largest military-technology platforms in the Caucasus region and
showcases modern military technology and equipment, as well as the
capabilities of Azerbaijan’s defense industry. During the same
