Presumably, tower integration is a rather frustrating process. Prototype and mass production are different subjects.
The company based in Ankara is mainly concerned with Leopard2 modernization, but we see the tendency of BMC to expand its product range of land-systems on the road map. At the last Idef fair, BMC officials were very clear on this issue.
If you are asking about the Altay project, most of these topics are about money. I am really bothered with these "domestic-national" words that are obviously that the ruling party has launched.
Today, Otokar's "domestic-national" engine's design provided by AVL. The Otokar Cobra has the French origin. Also Otokar entered the defense sector with Land Rover assembly line.
What I care about is not the foreign support of the companies, but the accumulation they have achieved with this support.
Maybe you remember, Between 1997-2002, Otokar-KMW (germany) the winner of the TANK2000 project, but BMC-US partnership won in the political arena.Project was canceled in 2004. But these the experiences made Otokar as main contractor in MITUP's development.
