ANKARA, Turkey — A powerful Turkish armored vehicle manufacturer with close ties to the Ankara government announced it would join a future competition for the serial production of the Altay, the new generation main battle tank a rival company developed.

Ethem Sancak, chairman of BMC, told reporters his company would be a contender for the serial production contract, which industry experts and officials expect to be about 1,000 tanks, with an initial batch of 250.

Sancak said BMC would bid with partners, which he declined to name. But he hinted his partners may include foreign manufacturers that “would not object to export licenses and local production.”

Earlier this year, a privately owned Turkish engine maker, TUMOSAN, signed a €190 million (US $206.35 million) contract with the government to design an engine for the Altay.

The Altay program has faced hurdles and delays as its engine is its most problematic development feature. Turkey's months-long negotiations with Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for joint development and production of an engine for the Altay failed last year.

The Altay was developed by Otokar, a rival of BMC. The Turkish government commissioned Otokar to build four Altay prototypes under a $500 million program.

After the prototype production stage has been finalized, the Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) will formally invite bids for the serial production contract.

not with BMC dude... I pointed this out many times earlier

if you give this project to BMC you might aswell give it to companies like

Asya motor (a motorcycle company)
Salcano (a biciycle company)
or fvcking BİM markets chain for that matter

Go nutz

give the project to me, I'll start a company

BMC can achieve better cost Ratio than Otokar. Otokar is very expensive. BMC is a cheap Producer, can save hundred thousands of Dollars per produced tank unit. BMC knows how to produce fast and costeffective. They deliver Kirpi MRAP for half the Money that Otokar charges for their kaya and kale MRAPs.

Why spend more Money?

hmm
Let's see...
Because this way of thinking has delayed MİLGEM project for YEARS?

dude no offense but you and I remember kirpi MRAP thing veeeeeeeery differently :D
It was a miracle they were able to deliver the vehicles at all

and I would've liked a cheaper presidential palace for erdo but you can't always get what you want can you?


Also you miss the point, BMC is a truck company, an MRAP is essentially a truck
and even Kirpi was based on Israeli Hatehoff's design. They couldn't even make kirpi on their own

ALTAY is veeery different kirpi is a toy compared to it

Kirpi BMC production saved Turkish tax payer nearly 100 Million Dollar, compared to other MRAP Producers in Turkey.

#BMC also paid huge amount of contract fee because of delay. Turkish state purchased the Kirpi MRAPs nearly for FREE!

Turkish army ruined BMC with Kirpi in the first place. that was the reason of BMC bankruptcy. They work like slaves and earn very Little Money. And you think turkish tax payer should give contract to Otokar who even tries to put their Holding owners golf Club costs into contracts with turkish state?

:enjoy:

and how do you think BMC will produce Altay any cheaper?

they'll totally fvck their workers, no safety, no pension and even then
BMC NEVER produced a single tracked vehicle in their history
How do they know they CAN deliver?

They've never even developed a single armored vehicle on their own

if they make ONE armored CAR that's not designed by israeli hatehof then I'll consider
they have horrible track record
if they fail and go bankrupt again.. we'll lose years of our time
if there's a war tomorrow in syria or Iraq we're going in with M60 pattons.

also... if you wanna save Turkish taxpayers money so much
go protest this:
Orta Vadeli Mali Plan'a göre, Kaçak Saray 10.7 milyar lira daha harcayacak | soL Haber Portalı | güne soL'dan bakın
or this:
Kaçak Saray’ın aylık gideri 21 milyon TL – Sözcü Gazetesi

They don´t Need to develop. SSM owns the blue prints and will it give to them. They just Need to Montage and wield according to the orders of Savunma Sanayii Müstesarligi Engineers.

are you not getting? kirpi was a truck with homogenous steel armor around it

there are only two companies in Turkey that could produce a land vehicle as complex as an MBT and those are FNSS and Otokar.

Tofaş might give a lower price, doesn't mean they can deliver on their promises!

Engineers make Montage plans. Everything goes by the book. Montage is easy Thing for skilled workers with common sense and an engineer who is Controlling their work.

SSM needed otokar for one purpose, to develop a tank. Now BMC or the lowest bider will get the Job. Can also be HEMA or Katmerciler. There are many companies in Turkey who want to work for government on milli Projects. even for less Money. Because they are VATANSEVER.

All the skilled workers and engineers at otokar can quickly join the workforce of the other Producers. Everyone will be happy, except the leeches with their golf Club bills.

:enjoy::tup:
 
that's so shallow I don't even want to talk

Than don ´t talk. In such companies People who talk to much are not hired. All industry Producers search for quiet and hard working People. The one who talk to much gets fired.

This is all about production. Erbakan promised tank factories and his apprentice erdogan made that tank factories real. simple industrialisation politics. everyone who oppose strong Country and industrial production must shut up in the future.

:enjoy::tup:
 
Please don't derail the topic. I was actually reading the conversation until you brought in politics again. Just a friendly reminder ^_^
