Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[Killuminati]

This is of course better than nothing, but i don't like this, at least the placement. Probably they prefered this to keep cost low, but there is no protection for corners, nor top.

What about the blast radius? Is this not a danger for soldiers standing near the tank?

The new M60 Firat is equipped with alarming system for enemy ATGMs locking on target not only inside but also outside the tank. With this move the casualties are took to minimum.

That is the bad side of having active protection system but there is solution for that. Look at my post above.

You need to ask Aselsan, they pictured the blast radius in the graphic, not me.

edit: or SSM. I don't know which one made that graphic.

Bro WW2 ambush disciplines where a tank leading and hiding troopers should be left. I dunno how but there are million IFV types.

So today is 9th march. Who got the tender? Oh wait, decision will be postponed 3rd time, then 4th time, and 5th time.

Everyone is lazy in government institutions in Turkey so progress is slower than turtle.

There is more to RBSS here is the link. Some people complained to me through pm and accused me of lying. They claim RBSS is not real. Unbeliavble.

Today is 20th March.They should already have anounced the winner. A possibility is, Rheinmetal of Angela Merkel is not ready yet. So postpone till it gets ready.

Any news ?

If they pick a company that works with Germany I'll be very pissed. As long as we're dependant on germany we'll have to suck up the statements they make all the freaking time regarding our national security issue...

Even if they pick the Germans to build the tank nobody in the medias will dare to tell a thing about it because most working there are either *** lickers of the government or afraid to criticize them because they might get jailed or their careers destroyed.

In the end a bunch of non Turkish companies will build Turkey’s tanks and only those who are more informed or interested in the topic will know it while the rest will bump their chest and shout what a great 100% Milli Tank we have.

Başbakan zaten tankın çoğu önemli parçalarının Almanya'dan alındığını, imalatını da onların yapabileceğini söyledi. O zamandan sonra bu tank eskisi gibi heyecanlandırmıyor beni. Yine de, gavur yerine Otokar'ın yapması iyidir.

@Combat-Master Master there is something I don't understand. Which are those important parts that we can't produce in Turkey and we are forced to buy from Germany? I am getting angrier and angrier. Is there really such thing other than the engines of the tanks?

 

[Saithan]

We should be angry, being promised a national engine and then not delivering is lying.if german company can buy firms like http://www.mahle.com/en/news-and-pr...mitment-for-aftermarket-engine-components-434 then do we have all the necessary capacity? NO

 

[Glass]

So who will build the tank now ?

Oh... at last. I hope the results will be good.

 

[Saithan]

It depends on who you're rooting for to win the tender. insallah I hope Otokar wins it.
