Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[SOHEIL]

That would be strange. Tanks without an engine.

Yes... That would be strange...

Hmmm yes quite strange indeed.

Well... That would be strange...

I can imagine Altays for TSK needs could have MTU engines and for export a indigenous engines,

If there will be an indigenous engine then why we should use foreign engine ?..

It would be strange if we did.

Not strange,when we use the MTU engines for our own ALTAYs,they will be ready sooner.
For export,we can use the indigenous one when ready in ''2020''.

If they say 4-5 years you can bet it takes time of 6-7 years. You know this very well. After this, you must test this engine in real condition, which takes time also of minimum 1 year. All in all, you must wait 7-8 years before Altay can go in serial production. You can wait or use an existing engine for your own.

Do you know If German FEV have a 1500hp powerpack solution ?

About schedule, It will take aprox. 5 and max 7 years as It is predicted at the beggining and It is impossible to catch production of Altay MBT, As long as a serious delay don't occur the serial production agenda or Tumosan don't directly licence a foreign engine to establish licence production infastructure to catch production of Altay. It is not important What CEO or Politicians claim. NATIONAL powerpack requires 5 to 6-7 years from now, While Altay trials will be finalized around this years.
