Pakistan’s New Main Battle Tank? Turkey’s Altay Tank Enters Mass Production

[Hassan Guy]

That I disagree with Sir if Abram and Leopard and Challenger and AMX Leclerc can perform in Iraq and Afghanistan than terrain is no issue. The only issue is transporting it and we even if we don't go for it should have more powerful trucks and trains which can transport even more heavy machines than Altay Tank. So we need to only improve transporting means.

What are the current means of tank transportation?

It will indeed come. In what form remains uncertain minimum will be subsystems and protection system.
We might see AK chassis and Altay turret. And maximum will be whole designs assembled in Pakistan.

It is in Turkish but if we summarize the deal has done with Ukranians about tank engine .8 Ukranian engineers selected from UkrOboronProm and 3 or 4 Turkish enginners will be include to this group . They will begin to develop a new engine for Altay tank.They say they offer this engine to allies of Turkey and he gives Pakistan as an example.
They also offer 200 5TDMI1 engine which got changes to work with Fırtına's transmission for export version.He says there will be no restrict for this engine.
Also they offer 100 6TD engine for Altay's export version but I dont think its suitable for Altay with limited torque.

So the torque is the main issue with 6TD series engines and if that is resolved then it will be suitable for both domestic and export?
