The most delayed project in our defense industry was Altay, but I am absolutely happy with this delay. Since Altay project start we saw a lot of battle and we learn lessons from them in this way we upgrade our MBT according to new threats. But regarding tank ammunition I have only heard of the Tanok and HE-T projects which Turkey is very deficient.... our armour penetrating capability is low as i know especiallly considering MKE sabot ammunutions, Is there any ongoing projects regarding 120 mm or 105 mm ?well that is how it is, possibly better logistics
Too much shit on the turret. No rear/up coverage for aps?"Our work on ALTAY continues. Only the work on the power group continues. There is no other problem. A total of 250 ALTAY units will be supplied. We will produce 85 of them with Korean powerpack and 165 with our own power group."

Not like this. Very exposed to light armsaren't all modern tanks full of shit on their turret? RCWS, smokes, optics, countermeasures of all kinds, shit adds up.
huh? have you seen other tanks with APS and RCWS? Altay turret looks much better when compared to Abrams and Leopard with Trophy radars heavily sticking out of the turret.Not like this. Very exposed to light arms
Compare to next gen tanks. Altay is way too late. Dont even understand why they still want it, or do they?huh? have you seen other tanks with APS and RCWS? Altay turret looks much better when compared to Abrams and Leopard with Trophy radars heavily sticking out of the turret.

Yes, in the current configuration it is obsolete.Compare to next gen tanks. Altay is way too late. Dont even understand why they still want it, or do they?

However in both Leopard and Abrams the APS is added to the current turret. Altay is designed from beginning to have the APS.huh? have you seen other tanks with APS and RCWS? Altay turret looks much better when compared to Abrams and Leopard with Trophy radars heavily sticking out of the turret.

We talked about the same topic back in page 140. I don’t think there’s much to add to everyone’s points about it for now. You can add increased slat armor, jammers and more capable APS. It’s still the same MBT concept. Because an MBT is already a compromise on firepower, armor and speed. Move the sliders around as long as you wish. You’ll always need all those three to move forward behind enemy lines.We talk about updated/upgraded or obsoleted tank. Before we start to talk about a “modern tank”, we must clarify what we understand or what are challenges and requirements of a tank is, in a modern and challenging (asymmetrically) battlefield.
I wonder why only two tanks had that?We can see the implementation of a cope cage for the first time on TSK tanks in this video.
This may answer why only two have it.I wonder why only two tanks had that?
I see 4 tanks here, but it is for sure not a wide spread implementation.I wonder why only two tanks had that?
Good catch, I only noticed two in a different frame. Still doubt the effectiveness of this "solution" but people in charge would know more than me, obviously.
