Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[Turkreal]

So much welfare that our currency is worth less then toilet paper, so much wealth that people can no longer acquire even the most basic nutritional needs, so much wealth that corruption is rampant and most of it goes to elitist AKP politicians anyway.

Are you actually living in Turkey? Because you sounds like a fucking Almanci saying all this horseshit from your apartment in Berlin. Absolutely delusional take. So much wealth that Tourists decides to not come at all and completely collapse our tourism industry because of our dogshit government and its policies. You are without a doubt unashamed boldface liar that is definitely high on something, probably delusional grandeurs and facebook propaganda like the sheep you are.

A thief is a thief, a corrupt piece of shit remains a corrupt piece of shit. A dictator will remain a dictator.

He's legally elected. His economies early on were very good and he did transform the country. Have you looked at Bidens corrupt history. Erdogan will get voted out. The economy is terrible now.

We all hear about BMC Power and its 1500 HP engine Batu. It is running, it is working. It will be used on Altay MBT. But we met this senior from Ukrainian Pavillion at IDEF. He is the chief engineer at the plant and I am not certain but he might be the one who designed the engine too. He said they are in negotiations with Turkey to provide the engine for both the Fırtına and Altay. You may want to hear on your own. https://www.turdef.com/Article/return-of-6td-engines-for-altay-and-firtina/644 oo by the way, if you go to youtube account, some PC's can hear and some don't. In that case phone works fine.

Turkey integrates S. Korean engine with MBT Altay, tests continue​

The engine of Turkey’s indigenously developed domestic main battle tank (MBT) Altay, which arrived from South Korea in March, has been integrated into the tank, while the mass production of the tank is expected to begin within two years, according to the Turkish daily Sabah Sunday.
Turkish land vehicle manufacturer BMC, the company that heads the Altay project, previously signed an agreement with two South Korean companies, Doosan Infracore Co. and S&T Dynamics Co., for the engine and transmission.
Work on the development of a domestic engine, on the other hand, has also gained momentum as it was repeatedly stated that the next versions of the Altay would bear a domestic engine.
Turkey successfully completed the ignition of its first-ever nationally developed 1,500-horsepower engine, BATU, that will power various armored vehicles and tanks, potentially the Altay, in May.
BMC Power developed the 12-cylinder, V-type, water-cooled and turbodiesel power unit. The engine will produce 1,500 horsepower and 4600 N-m of torque.

As part of the Altay MBT project, which was developed in accordance with the combat conditions of today and the future, a mass production contract was signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) and BMC in 2018.
Assuming the main contractor role within the framework of the project, BMC will produce 250 Altay tanks and deliver them to the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) under the contract.
The Altay tank is made of composite material and contains a new generation armor type.
aThe firing range of the tank is eight kilometers. With a crew of four (tank commander, gunner, loader, driver), the tank weighs 65 tons. Designed with superior maneuverability thanks to its suspension system, Altay also includes other weapons such as a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and defense giant Aselsan-made Stabilized Advanced Remote Weapon Platform (SARP).
Thanks to the new computer technology, the fire control system is stated to be superior to normal tanks.
The Altay will also bear the domestic Active Protection System (AKKOR) developed by Aselsan, one of the vital protection systems for tanks.
In addition to tank armors, active protection systems are also of great importance against anti-tank weapons.
Reactive armors are ineffective against anti-tank missiles like the Javelin, defense industry experts occasionally point out that the Russians lost so many tanks in the war between Russia and Ukraine, emphasizing the need for active protection in tanks like the AKKOR.
AKKOR creates a full 360-degree protection shield.
It will detect incoming rocket or anti-tank missiles in a very short time with its high-tech radar.
With the help of the sensors on it, the physical destruction ammunition to be directed can explode when it is closest to the approaching anti-tank threat and neutralize it.

Active Protection System may be able to destroy incoming missile threats, but what about accompanying infantry walking near the tank ? The explosion would hit them too, right ? Or will Turkish infantry not operate that close to the tanks while in combat with the enemy except for troops already inside IFVs ?

ALTAY Tank will delivered to the Turkish Army in 2023


BMC CEO Murat Yalçıntaş and BMC Defense General Manager Mehmet Karaaslan


It was decided to start mass production with the Power Group supplied from South Korea

New ALTAY is another Tank from 9 years ago design
This took us quite a while. It is ready now and we will deliver 2 of 100 ALTAY Tanks to the Turkish Armed Forces in 2023

Turkish Army will test 2 ALTAY Tanks . After approval
We will give the remaining 98 Tanks ( 8 per month ) within 12 months


The most modern Tank in the region

BMC Yetkilileri: "ALTAY Tankı 2023'te Teslim Edilecek"

BMC CEO'su Murat Yalçıntaş ve BMC Savunma Genel Müdürü Mehmet Karaaslan, ALTAY Tankı ile ilgili olarak Habertürk'ten Fatih Altaylı'nın sorularını yanıtladı.

Finally! I think after first batch of 100 Altay rest of delivery will contunie with domestic Batu engine pack. Thats why they reduced first batch from 250 to 100

BMC will start testing 1500 hp BATU Engine on ALTAY Tank in 2024


Also there will be T1 , T2 , T3 configurations

When the ALTAY tank changes to the T3 model, it will take its place among the Tanks with unmanned turrets

Beyond Armor Vision System


BITES Defense and Aerospace Technologies developed the "Beyond Armor Vision System" that increases the situational awareness of all kinds of Armored Vehicle crews

The system, which will be used in military vehicles with limited close vision, such as main battle Tanks and armored combat vehicles, increases the situational awareness of the personnel in the tactical field.

The beyond armor vision System can also receive Command and Control System data and uses this data to enrich the camera images. While using the system, the personnel wearing augmented reality glasses can directly monitor the vehicle’s surroundings without seeing the armor in whichever direction they turn their head

Any pictures? I'm a big fan of Merkava designs like a tank and APC.

None yet, I don't know if the forn factor will be much different.

Does anyone know or guess what is the thickness of Altay's armor in front turret, side turret and hull. Some people say its 600-650mm for front turret but others say its about a 1000mm.
