Yuksel YAK the rival of Aselsan SARP...

Kirpi

I really wonder Why BMC goes to Yuksel SAvunma for YAK stabilized turrets instead of proven and well-known Aselsan technology product, SARP to be used on Altay MBT's...

I have no idea, but if you ask me BMC's preferances are irrelevant. If procurement officials order Aselsan SARP they can be easily mounted on over 200+ Kirpi Vehicles. But again both platforms are new in market so far only clear advantage of SARP is being of Aselsan brand

As for marketing of Kirpi this move might prove to be a mistake.

Kirpi

HIT should do some JV with Turkey on different types and kinds of vehicles.

Because it is unprofitable. Aselsan will produce SARPs for bigger projects, like Altay etc.

Also Aselsan's current production lines are busy with producing STAMP&STOP.

Why? I don't see the distinction...

As I know, Aselsan will produce Sarp in the same assembly line with STAMP and STOP. Currently the line is busy with producing STAMPs for our oil rich friends.

It's understandable, I just hope we don't make any rash decisions.

Both systems are in same class so the army may not want to wait for SARP but then having three(+Elbit RCWS) different systems for one purpose in the inventory is not like Turkish Army.

I mean, these gun platforms aren't foolproof they are most likely to be damaged with light-arms fire. They'll need field repair and spare parts.
