This vehicle is insurgents' and terrorists' nightmare. It is light and a mine resistant, while it allows its occupants to take the fight to the enemy. It would be good to know how it can withstand against RPGs.

They wanna consume the cornet missiles first coz their life span gonna be ended.

afaik they ordered more missile!

 

[UkroTurk]

İ would like to know which Kornet missiles Turkey bought? The first gen laser beam or latest version which is fire and forget?

Neither first gen nor last gen Kornet missiles are considered cheap missiles AFAIK.

Turkey may have bought those to increase variety when there was no UMTAS project.

Maybe they were bought with the purpose of supplying allied forces in Syria and Libya. Supplying them with Turkish ATGM could become a liability.

Turkey bought 80 launchers and 800 Kornet missiles in 2009. then a couple years later more ordered but agreement never realized. that time kornet was the best cost effective missile in international market. actually purchase was a counter measure for new Greek leo2's. All turkish kornets are laser beam rider.

 

[UkroTurk]

Yes laser beam missiles are really cost effective. STA is great platform totally cost effective and totally lethal. İt wouldn't be any platform more useful and effective than STA. İ adore them. By the way they are all amphibious i can't imagine how would 100 STA have changed the second world war tank battles.

So comforting and encouraging seeing a Muslim brother country excelling in science and defence in these testing times for the Muslim world.

All the best wishes going forward. May you achieve glory and bring us honour.

Kazakhstan selected same turret as well.

 

[Agha Sher]

Kazakhstan selected same turret as well.

A Turkish turret on a French vehicle?

Also, who produces the gun itself? has the metallurgy of Turkey advanced far enough to cover this aspect as well?
