[cabatli_53]

The only people who deserves praise in these developments are the ones involved in Turkish defence industry.

Otokar
Aselsan
Roketsan
MKEK
Rotem

When, is Erdogan retiring? i want to lease him to rule Pakistan for just 15 years

I'm ready to trade him for Imran Khan anytime...

Average Turkish citizen would be very glad

People who has actual knowledge on Turkish defence industry already knows that only government company in the industry is MKE and it's fvcked up beyond any reasoning.

Turret looks really huge and impressive

 

[cabatli_53]

Even today, If Azerbaijan agree on joining into Altay program, I think Turkish officials will wellcome brother state as a partner with transfering some percentage production of Altay for Azerbaijan...



BTW, Think Altay gun following a target while the tank is moving... I bet It will look sexier than current views...

What has this to do with Erdogan? Turkish defence industry came to where it is through long-term plans, before Erdogan, I don't understand why any of this would be even slightly considered as Erdogan's accomplishment. I also have observed that Erdogan and Akp tries to make propaganda out of it. The only people who deserves praise in these developments are the ones involved in Turkish defence industry.

A stable government is essential

You can watch Japan ,a country which got lots of Nobel prizes,changing the government every year, change and cancel and start programs every year,so the 3/4 of japan F-15 CAN only use AIM7 and only produce 68 type IFA within 20 years

Just wonder,the turret haven't turn other sides today?

Is there any expected date of when the firing test will begin?

 

[cabatli_53]

Is there any expected date of when the firing test will begin?

If nothing changed (Otokar is proceeding forward of schedule) It would have begun in first quarter of 2013...

 

[cabatli_53]

The most interesting story is;

Otokar proved himself with developing such a complex and difficult MBT prototipes within 3-3,5 years but;
Our MKEK can't make MPT(infantry rifle) passed into serial production phase within 3-4 years...

Especially Murat Bayar, Undersecretary for the defense industry, for having the foresight to praise the potential of Turkey
