KSA to produce South Korean K2 Black Panther Tank

[Khafee]

Apparently,the Saudis were impressed by its performances in Yemen.(As your army engaged Leclercs in Yemen.)
Where they knew their first shot in real combat situation.( In open and urban warfare. )
It is said that Leclercs were able to resist to multiple RPG hits (And/Or anti tank missiles ?),on front and on sides of the tank.

Leclerc has proven itself to be a beast.

The Saudis are apparently interested in buying some Leclerc tanks.

The tank was showed to the Saudis on November the 25th.

self delusion. Mid range SAM is totally outclass by LRSAM. With more modern stand off missile. If you want to be a major military power, LRSAM is a must. If not, most of the time you will be at the receiving end. Turkey industries is not advance enough to build a modern LRSAM. No countries is interested to ToT their SAM technology to Turkey. Lol..

Keep your breath to qualification times, If Turkey can't develop a LRSAM within project time. Otherwise, Noone needs the imaginations of a Chinese regarding Turkey's capabilities in pages of PDF.

you are still the stupid one, you claim without Western support Turkish equipment wouldnt work
I pointed out the irony in your statement as China itself uses Western technology in its systems such as MTU engines

its not about a single destroyer, I am proving that German MTU engines are common in Chinese Navy.

neither am I claiming your vessels to now be German , I am pointing out to the IRONY in your statement.


Ashamed of what? Turkey has access to a Sea while China has access to an Ocean, what kind of comparison do you expect?

Otherwise Turkey has 2nd most powerful navy in the Mediterranean after France and is developing rapidly

Future Istanbul class frigate will have 64 VLS just to point out its capability.

The Ownage of the year ! Good one bro !

MTU is common but its not the core. If westerner stop supplying those system. Our fleet and major warship can still continue and go on becos China is a major power and technology independent. We can build more SSN but it will cost more money. We can build more destroyer than Frigate using our indigenous gas turbine. But that cant be say for Turkey, if German stop export those propulsion system to Turkey, Turkey whole military system from Tank, warship to fighter aircraft will stop functioning.

Future, you mean 100 years later? Just say now,Turkey has no warship compare to PLAN destroyer at the moment.

You are building around the bush to avoid this admittance , right? Do you know in future, PLAN will have a 13000tons 128 VLS cruiser? Turkey is not going to match China in everything. She is no match for China. You can have your delusion and wet dream of clinging onto your hopeless Ottoman power.

Those speeches are what we called as "Barking" after being OWNED so hard !

I am sorry but pink ribbon ! why he's wearing pink ribbon ?

Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with South Korea for K2 Black Panther Tank and KSA will produce them in Saudi Arabia.

Any source?, or a speculation, there are many better tanks out there....
Not yo mention more battle proven, or perhaps more ruggedly tested.
There's the Russian T-90.
The French Leclerc.
The famous Abrams.
The Turkish Altay.
The Chinese Type 99.
The Challenger.
Why the K2?
It seems like an entirely untested piece of hardware, the Saudis are at war, won't they need something reliable and proven which gives confidence to their boots on the ground?.

if it is true than you have your answer!
no other tank will be produced in SA.. so with this it is a win win situation! korea may export some k2 to other countries in ME and SA can build their own tank or they will be able to upgrade it in the future locally.. this is better than buying something

hope SA will focus on more locally produced weapons..

But there are more battle proven tanks out there. Perhaps they chose this tank as S.Korea was giving local production?.
The Ukranian Oplots?. They're more battle proven than the K2, I hope the Saudis know what they're doing.
On the side, if this is true, congratulations to the Koreans, they now have the opportunity to prove their machines in war.

thats what I wanted to say..

The Ukranian Oplots?

the k2 is not a bad tank.. I dont know why you are so obsessed with battle proven no leopard 2 tank is battle proven and you would just be happy with it because it is german made.. the k2 is a very good tank and I would choose it over chinese , russian or ukrainian tank

I'm obsessed with battle proven, because of the same reason I would go for an Apache rather than a Mi-28.
Tanks that have proven their metal in war are tanks which will perform the best.
At this point the K2 is mere speculation, I would've taken the Altay over it, if we walk on unproven grounds.

 

[mustafa erkan]

May be they want altay with korean engine
Truely they want Leopard but Germans will not give.They wont also accept saudis altay with mtu engine(like fırtına howithzer to azerbaycan)They dont want to wait till altay with tumosan engine(turkish engine)Is it possible buying tanks from turkey and engines from S.Korea?

 

[Timur]

engines from S.Korea?

k2 also uses mtu engine like altay..

 

[Atlanticore]

Indeed a perfect choice but maintenance of this Tanks is gonna be a headache for Saudi-Arabian Army.

 

[mustafa erkan]

k2 also uses mtu engine like altay..

no they have their own 1500 hp engine program.May be it is true for k1 but they are working on their engine.İf they've used mtu engine it is for stopgap solution i think.Some problem accured about durability. Hyundai is working on it.They are not as good as germans but they have enough metallurgy knowledge.
