Plus Korkut turrent. All in all, nice idea and design.



Thats what I meant. Altay could be obsolete. Next future Tank can be the new mission.

Years ago, Sweden works on RAM for tanks, which is hard to detect by IR.

Dudes... the current version of Altay is only for the first batch. These developments are expected to show in later batches. Altay is not a single tank model, but more of a product line of MBT's.

Exactly, my thought. Altay Project started in 2007 and even before that we tried to buy Leopards from Germany and got rejected. We are in 2020 and in the best case scenario first tank will be rolled in 2022. Let's say it tooks 5 years to produce the first batch. 2027..almost 20-25 years.... And today battlefield is changing rapidly..it's the time of the drones..Maybe instead of 4 batches, we can produce only 1 batch and start to work on a new generation MBT...

He is right, you can't make vital changes like making it a lighter tank, or adding an auto loader.

Imagine we could have done the Syria operations with Altays instead of M60s.
The MBT program wasnt as successful as the drone programs unfortunately.

That's for about our worsth planning I think .

We targeted f-22 on the our first tank experiment. Rheinmetall L/55, Mtu 1500 Hp + boron carbide armor plates + akkor top tier of tank class. And of course Germans let the us for engine. İf they allow they can be lose many contracts.

Heading a 1200-1300 hp class tank is a most accurate plan. İn this class options are very high. İf we want a tank againts leo 2 hel we can buy a 250 tank from germans with our altay project.

Lets not forget the corruption involved.

A Tank design on the pic is carrying 105mm cannot not 35mm.

Btw, we are working on 130mm cannon.

Nope brother it seems 35mm.

I would say 35mm cal new IFV with high tech sensors and APS would useful more than MBTs. 35mm round is really fvcking lethal and rapid. It is bottleneck 50mm round. Case nearly 50mm.
They could waste soviet tanks as well as concrete buildings.
With long range it has also rapid fire capability. They would slaughter every target in 5km range.

I dont hear anything about we are working on 130mm cannon. There are source about him ?
Leopard 3 will probably have 130mm cannon, right now, we are able to deliver, if needed. WE does not mean YOU.

As I said, it reminds me on Korhan turret, which has 35mm cal???

Yes it seems korhan 35mm gun .
I wish the gun could fire 3P rounds. It would be great .

That kind of chassis wil have huge front armour and maybe thats can feint yours about size of gun it looks like 105mm .

Other wise why aselsan show 35 mm turreted vehicle for future tank design ? 3d wiev angle will feint yours.

This is 35 mm gun .
korhan-image04.jpg

35mm oerlikon skyranger which is identical to Korhans turret.

ROK biho 2. 30mm and 40mmcal guns are planned.
New_Hanwha_Biho_II_mobile_air_defense_system_based_on_8x8_armored_925_001.jpg

Comparing identical platforms, i can confidently say it is diameter of 35mm barrel.

İt cant be 105mm Caliber gun because there isnt any muzzle brake or recoil compensator which is necessary and inevitable.
