A name etched in history with golden letters in Turkey's struggle for independence: Nuri Killigil. He was not just an officer but also a pioneer of the Turkish defense industry.During the late Ottoman era, he wrote legends with the Caucasian Islamic Army, but his true success came in the Republic period. The arms and munitions factory he established became one of the cornerstones of Turkey’s independent war industry. He was the man who produced modern Turkish machine guns, mortars, and ammunition.But this great patriot had to be stopped! In 1949, he lost his life in a mysterious explosion at his factory. Was it an accident, or a sabotage by those who did not want Turkey to arm itself independently?No matter what, Nuri Killigil’s legacy continues to inspire Turkey’s defense industry today!
