If we can start the production of Altay, KAAN and many other products (even if in low rate) with foreign engines and the larger part with domestic engines once ready. Why cant we do the same for IFV?

You forgot about a little thing called sanctions.

Those didn't stop us from awarding Altay and Fırtına II productions and Building 350 STAs.

Both projetcs got sanctioned many times.
And i think only six Firtina IIs were built?

Maybe it is like the Eurofighter purchase.
Türkiye asked for Eurofighters but did not officially requested them yet (according to some members here).

Could be the same case for power packs for the IFVs.

+ ÖMTTZA project that specifically made for SOF. For the wheeled IFV the diversity at the engines make it easier to procure.

And it was a known fact that SSB made it compulsory to use domestic engine for wheeled IFV / APC project. All companies did so, but i think we have got someone delaying the bidding process as much as possible. I have suspected of Anzatsan honestly, is it possible them to bid extremely low unit prices by facilitating some AFBM of Army and MKE factories, land, incentives? They haven't even made it to performance tests but who cares.

In a situation where we are already lacking in both new MBT and behind schedule in MBT modernization the least we could have done is make sure the other armored vehicles and ifv are modern and and ready in large numbers, the one class where we don't have issue producing. For once manage a process properly...

Wouldn't that fact be the reason for the delays in the acquisition of the vehicles?

6 to 8 TFSA militants died when their ACV was hit by an rpg at close range in 2020. ACVs don't have any real armor. They are made out of aluminum, which burns like a volcano when ignited.

Which ACV could resist against RPG ? In which ACV the soldiers would be safe from RPG?


RPG was created for wasting the armor of MBTs!

Other armies use protector nets or should we give everyplatoon 40 tons ACV which could be defeated from RPG?

Here is relatively cheap solution of Turkish FNSS for ACVs.

US MIC makes sales to the US Military at very low prices and makes the real profit selling to foreign customers. A similar concept maybe implemented in Türkiye asking for sales with a shoestring profit margin. This maybe applicable to large companies and not startups.
