It is even more expensive than per Altay Tank

$480m probably is a total amount of cost for both 329Kirpi and 35Amazon lol

"....2009'da 468 zırhlı aracın üretimi için BMC ile SSM el sıkıştı. Piyasa değeri yaklaşık 375 milyon lira olan bu anlaşmadan İsrail şirketinin 75 milyon lira alacaktı...."

2009, 1$ was equal to 1.5₺, ₺375m was equal to roughly $250m. If 468 Kirpi costed us $250m in 2009, in 2009 per Kirpi was $530k.

329 Kirpi+ 35 Amazon would equal to $480m and its realistic. There is no way for 35 Amazon to cost $480m

This is not how deals like that calculated!
That package of 35 vehicles might include training of personal, spare parts(including spare engines), service etc. so it is not that simple. No one just buys vehicles only unless they have established support services (Industry).

Even including training and spare parts that's still $400 million too much.

Technical support might be for decades etc. We don't know details, I just wanted to say it is not as simple as to devide total amount on amount of sold vehicles.

What technical support are you talking about? Amazon is a simple truck with armor, not a complicated aircraft that needs mountains of maintenance!

Ahh, Karasu, the place where hundreds of factories should be producing stuff already, they said a Chinese car manufacturer and a Ship battery producer would open a factory there.
They even build a port which is empty now, there are plans of a rail connection to Adapazari, every once a while we hear about some new factory opening there but so far nothing, lets wait and see.

Brother it's Turkish logic. They see Silicon valley and think, hey we should do that.
So they go and build a huge *** campus (whatever) and gloat about opening it.
But the quality of the products being made and the people inside are questionable.

Nice looks but hollow inside .

No offense to people working there etc but stuff like this takes many years (decades?) and can't be achieved by simply building a building or two.
