the poor soul that will have back problems having to lift heavy 155mm shells on the loading part that hovers 7 feet in the air.

Ofcourse they don't lift 155mm shells 7 feet in the air. It's semi-automatic - the human loader passes the shell to the loader mechanism which lifts it and loads it into the breech.

Short resume for english speakers. It's been decided that they'll invest 9.4 B USD into 55 projects that will further empower the Turkish military.

Now can someone provide a list of those 55 projects, and if one of them isn't MBT engine I'm going to get angry

Turkey’s defense giant to attend Singapore Airshow with indigenous products
ANKARA

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has said it will attend this year’s Singapore Airshow, on Feb. 6-11, where it will showcase its indigenous products.

The airshow is Asia’s biggest and one of the most important Asian fairs. While attending, TAI will carry out negotiations, particularly for its drone “ANKA” and multi-task utility helicopter “T-625,” in an effort to have a bigger share in the Asian market.

In a statement on Jan. 31, the company said it carried out talks in Thailand over the past few months for the ANKA and T129 ATAK, its attack helicopter. Thereafter, TAI carried out negotiations in Malaysia and Indonesia, according to the statement.

In a bid to have a bigger share in Asia, TAI will attend the Singapore Airshow and will demonstrate models of its indigenous and national products, such as the T-625, ANKA, ATAK, HÜRKUŞ, a primary and basic trainer aircraft and the TF-X, which is dubbed as the “National Combat Aircraft,” TAI said.

TAI will keep taking considerable steps towards the Asian market by demonstrating its products at the fair, which is attended by high-ranking military and government officials every two years, it added.

Even the manufacturer of Altay is not chosen.

I doubt it's in there. It says 'new' projects. Atlay motor isn't a new project and I'm sure it already has a budget allocated to it.

ANKARA — Turkey will not buy defence systems, software or products from abroad except in emergency, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, vowing to develop domestic military designs and systems.

Speaking at a meeting of his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan said Turkey was ready to cooperate with foreign defence firms that accepted Ankara's conditions, but that this would not lead to purchases of ready-made systems.

Second time lucky (fingers crossed).
Aselsan is offering 'Compact Fire Control System' (C-FCS) for Poland's T-72M1 Tank modernization programme.

They are modernizing the PT91 Twardy instead of mothballing it? interesting.

I would expect them to modernize their Leopard 2s instead

Hmm. it seems they already did:

Leopard-2A4 modernizasyonu BMC'ye verilmiş.

Weird, since Aselsan already has modernisation package for Leo2A4. What will BMC do? They don't understand from RCSWs, electronics etc. BMC will probably go and made a contract with Aselsan at the end
