Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

What difference will there be between P1,P2 and P3,P4?

Prototypes are produced as following;

-MTR (Real chassis, mock-up turret)
-FTR (Real chassis, real barrel, original armour weight' simulated turret with different shapes) (Roketsan didn't supply anything for FTR prototype, since development of original blocks were not completed yet)
-P1 (Real turret with Roketsan armours +chassis)
-P2 (Real turret with Roketsan armours+Chassis)

P1 and P2 ready and being tested now?

P1 and P2 ready and being tested now?

of course

only a couple of years left before mass production

So we need someone to take secret photos of them...

I even found footage:

No, not yet ! Based on referances gained from MTR/FTR, P1/2 is under production phase at present. I suppose We are going to see them in this year. If you pay attention to development steps carefully, Roketsan have completed qualification of Altay's armour blocks in recent months ( I suppose 5-6 months ago(?)).

That is MTR.

 

[Hakan]

That is MTR.

My bad.

this is the real deal.

this is the real deal.

That is FTR.

There is no footage of P1 & P2 yet. Also, i don't know if they had been builded or not.

Okay I will shut up now.

 

[cabatli_53]

FTR turret introduced and used on firing trials are completely different.

 

[Hakan]

so is the P1 supposed to look something like this? If so then it looks great.

Which characteristic differences will P1 and P2 have ? Which kind of differences ? Any info about this ?

P1 is made for mobility test thus MTR while P2 made for firing tests thus FTR , only after P3 we will be able see real shape of turret.

FTR turret introduced and used on firing trials are completely different.

Especially on the turret's side armour. I think, to simulate turret's real weight in firing tests.
