Since foreign purchase is forbidden, of course, it will sell to EGM and Gendarmerie. There are weapons that he delivered without opening the groove. There are weapons that fall when the crown is hit with a light blow to the ground.

Yes I am talking about MPT 76

Why this secrecy? Its an upgrade, not a new MBT.

I have sincerely no idea. It was also the same for the M60T Fırat (M60TM) modernization. It was released on the "intranet" barely a month after the end of Euphrates Shield Operation but it took a while until it was released to the public.

It's better this way than the other way around! remember European agents trying to steal the blueprints of the MPT 76? The time turkey began to build out their defense industry? That would happen again, if turkey continues to deal with plans, developments, and innovations in the defense sector in such an open and too transparent manner. We should do it like other countries and only publish things when they are finished, instead of revealing all details and data at twitter years in advance...
