Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[Random111]

Some (majority?) of Turkish Leo2s still have older armor (A1/a2 level?) and not A4 level though.

Serdar Gorguc of Otokar made the announcement that Altay passed the acceptation

All of them A4 but its still the same old tank

No their internal armor is still a1/a2 level, hence older and less equipped to deal with atgms.

 

[Oguzhan]

That was what you should have understood from "same old tanks"

What?

 

[Bismarck]

What?

Which company will produce Altay tank.

 

[SouI]

Which company will produce Altay tank.

It is written right here:

"Serdar Gorguc of Otokar made the announcement that Altay passed the acceptation"

no?

 

[OguzSenturk]

No.

It is about the development project of Otokar. Serial Production project didn't given to any company.

no?

as OguzSenturk said, the acceptance tests of the Altay were passed long ago and the development project was finished. That is not new. However the contract for production of the tank has not been signed yet. One of the two companies (probably), BMC or Otokar, will get to produce it and everybody is waiting to see which one does.

I hope whatever company is chosen it is chosen fast so that the production starts soon.

I hope like mpt-76 for Altay
Otokar for Turkey and UAE and Azerbaican.
BMC for Qatar.
FNSS for Saudi Arabia , Endonesia or Malaysia
I know i am too optimistic but i hope if two of them happens it is perfect for Turkey.

Tests have just finished, not already.

Who is now responsible for the Development of 1500 HP Engine for Altay ? Is the Development handed over to Tülomsas or BMC ?

So, we can work together with UK on T-FX but not on Altay's Engine....i'm not buying Tumosan's statement.

It seems like, there will be a new RFP.

I hope, they would give the task to Otokar...They have much more experience then any other companies in Turkey.

As far as i know, BMC don't have any experience with engine producing.
