What i want to say is that i think only some Design Changes makes not the Altay different then K2.
I don´t believe that the Altay is an Ingenious Design.
It will the Same like K2 nothing more.
Look only at the Companies who are working on this Project and you will have your answers.
Only the Chassis from Altay is based on K2, it is more stretched ! The Turret, FCS, Optical Sights and the Gun are developed in Turkey ! The Motor come from Germany.
HereWhen i have sayed this ?
It doesn´t looks good !
Nobody said Altay is 100% Turkish, i think @cabatli_53 knows how much of Altay is Indigenous.Why you are quoting this me ? Do you i didn´t know that ? How much is Altay turkish ? How much we can trust so much of these Companies who are working on this Project ? Not Only Otokar&Co. are working on this Project.
Look at the smaller Ones.

Even european Countries and the us do not produce Weapons with 100% indigenous Resources, the FCS and 120 mm Gun from M1A2 Abrahams come from Germany !
The main important Matter is not if Altay is 100% indigenous, Altay MBT is allready developed in Turkey ! This we can modify the Weapon System to our own Requirement and we must not Fear that Kill Switches make our Tanks useless in Case of War ! It makes no sense to spend 5 Million $ for a Leo-2 or M1 which will be made useless with Kill Switches !
The Question is ,what will happen if the Altay Project will Fail ?
MTU Friedrichshafen = Maybach = Mercedes Benz = Germany
The Engine comes from Germany and not Turkey ,it´s something like a Heart of all Vehicles ,an Engine.
So what will happen example if Turkey have bad relationship to Germany ? Who will give Engine or Part´s for Altay´s Heart ?
Turkish Companies are ordered to devvelop an indigenous 1800 HP Engine for the second Altay Batch, nearly one week before Erdogan also discussed with his Japanese Counterpart the commom development of Tank Engines !
Why your telling things that i know ? Who are these Turkish Companies ? What is them´s Backround ? What they have gained ?
