Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

We have companies who can make it. It is just f*cking politicians, politics that mess everything up.
:undecided:. Is this explains why it takes years for Koreans to develop tank engine for their tanks? If it is related with politicians so Koreans in worse condition than us.
They are far ahead from us about industrialization and technical development but working on tank engine from K1 to K2 and at the end they managed to put it for k2 for near future.
I forgot to add they have limitless cooperation with USA and others.Just look at KFX to learn their access to American technology.
What I understand we wont get technical assistance from other countries which have technology for engine.I only critisize about this process is SSM has to guess blokage and must go on to way with two options together.We always must have B plan for such a critical areas. They have to choose one more option for domestic development from the beginnig.We couldnt sell Fırtınas and this has to be an alarm signal for us to begin to our own engine development so we may be in a better position now.
 
Copying with the good and latest blueprint...

You are really funny or naive. ;)
It would be immoral/illegal. We dont need that to make an engine.

Turkey used to manufacture its own airplanes including jet motors until closed by the then PM Adnan Menderes in 1952 when joined NATO. I still have too much trust in our scientists/engineers.

Yes we started to produce our own fighters and engines during Atatürk's era, then the retarded conservative islamist government of Menderes (piss be upon his dead corpse) that Erdogan loves so much closed them.

And islamists in our country can dare to claim the moral high ground in this subject, saying it is us who closed everything! Hah what a joke!
Refrain from Insult... You can state an opinion whitout insulting, grow up!
 
he talk bs, ther loved inonu have shot down the first fighter project of mister hurkus:-).

Not exactly like that...
1945 – 1946 yılı :

Hava endüstrisinin yüksek mühendis ihtiyacını karşılamak için THK’nun tavsiyesi ile İTÜ’de açılmış olan havacılık şubesinden 19 yüksek mühendisten 15’i fabrikalarda vazife almışlardır. Bunlardan 6 tanesi ABD’ye gönderilmiş ve uzmanlık çalışmalarını tamamlayarak yurda dönmüşlerdir.

27 Şubat 1946

ABD ile TC arasında imzalanan ikinci anlaşma gereği; ABD 10 milyon dolarlık kredi verecektir. Bu kredi ABD savunma malzemeleri alımında kullanılacaktır.

4 Haziran 1947

Amerikan Askeri Heyeti başlarında Tümg. Hall olmak üzere (5 kişilik hava subayından oluşan heyet) THK Etimesgut Uçak Fabrikasını gezmişlerdir.

12 Temmuz 1947

Turuman anlaşması ABD ile TC. Hükümeti arasında imzalanmıştır.

19 Mart 1948

Amerikan Hava Ataşesi Yardımcısı Yüzbaşı Handsinger’e THK’da aldığı eğitim sonucu turizm uçak pilot lisansı verilmiştir.

13 Şubat 1952

Türkiye NATO üyesi olmuştur.

5 Nisan 1952

THK'nın Ankara Gazi Çiftliği'ndeki Uçak ve Motor Fabrikası yeterli miktarda uçak siparişi alamadığı için krize girmiş ve 5 Nisan 1952'de yapılan anlaşma ile 4 milyon lira karşılığında MKE'ye satılmıştır. Fabrika Yavuz Kansu müdürlüğünde yeniden yapılandırılmıştır. MKE, THK'nın geliştirdiği aralarında Model 3 olarak yeniden adlandırılan Mehmetçik'in de bulunduğu 6 ayrı modeli imal etme kararı aldı. Mehmetçik projesinin jet motorlu bir eğitim uçağı olduğunu hatırlatmakta fayda var...

Aynı yıl ABD'nin Lockheed T-33 tipi jet eğitim uçaklarını Türk Hava Kuvvetleri'ne hibe etmesiyle projenin uygulanmasından vazgeçildi. 1957 yılına gelindiğinde ABD Yardımının ön gördüğü koşullar neticesinde yapılan gizli anlaşmalar ile hükümetin emri sonucunda Türkiye'deki uçak üretimi tamamen durdurulmuştur. Fabrika daha sonraları uçak üretimi yerine traktör ve çeşitli makine parçaları üretmeye devam etmiştir.

The first and second offers for mass production were received from the company that made the development program for mass production and that the evaluation process continues”, said Minister Mr. Işık.

After the Minister’s presentation, the members of the commission made assessments on the presentation, and afterwards the question-answer session occurred. Here, Minister Mr. Işık was asked again what kind of a model the mass production process would continue. Minister Mr. Işık addressed this question as “We have awarded a contract with the company regarding Altay program. This company has produced 2 prototypes. One of the tests has been completed, and the second one is to be completed soon. At a later stage, an RFP was sent to the company and the company submitted its proposal. Then we want it to be revised. That revision was made. During the next meeting, the Defense Industry Executive Committee will evaluate whether or not this proposal is sufficiently competitive. If it is evaluated as a sufficiently competitive proposal, a mass production tender will directly be awarded with the company, but if this is not the case, then an open tender will be realized.”
