I hope, once we get the capability to produce our own nuclear fuel (thanks to Russia), could we build this kind of tanks with depleted uranium?

Maybe Altay2 would be like it in the future...

Pakistan will produce Turkey's 'Nurol' infantry fighting vehicles in Pakistan.
Turkey gives ToT (Transfer of Technology) of Nurol vehicles to Pakistan.A HIT (Heavy Industries Taxila) spokesman confirmed Nurol will transfer technology to help HIT manufacture armored vehicles to B7-plus protection levels.
Turkey's Military Electronic Industries 'ASELSAN' could supply technology developed for Turkey's Leopard II upgrade and Altay tank programs for Pakistan's Al-Khalid Tank.
Aselsan has supplied sighting and other sub systems for Pakistan's Al-Zarrar/upgraded Type-59 tanks and Ukrainian-supplied T-80UD, and transferred radio design and manufacture technology.

5 prototypes are avaiable now. ( BH&T , MTR , FTR , PV1 and PV2)

BH&T (Ballistic Hull and Turret )
MTR (Mobility Test Rig)
FTR (Firing Test Rig)

Real Prototypes are PV1 and PV2 which one of them will be choosen for serial production after trials till end of 2016.

Serial production is considering to start in 2017 If the firm that is going to producing will be selected before end of the trials in 2016.

Is there a possibility for PV1's & PV2's hybrid as final prototype ?.. Let's say PV3 or PV Final...

 

[manowar]

According to the contract there will be no PV3. If the contract can be changed at trials phase of PV1 an PV2 why not?
IMO there will be no another PV except PV1 and PV2

 

[NMTD]

What are the differences between PV1 and PV2?

 

[Bismarck]

I will say an indigenous hybrid engine and APS.
