ASELSAN Signs Leopard 2A4 Upgrade Agreement | TURDEF
ASELSAN and BMC signed a contract worth 197.4 million Euros and 1.3 billion TL to modernise Leopard 2A4 tanks within the TİYK-LEO2A4 Project.turdef.com
Yeah technically 2022 but since the contract with Aselsan was signed in May 2023, we can say that it started last year. Because most of the parts will be from Aselsan.https://www.defenceturk.net/bmc-ve-aselsandan-leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu-sozlesmesi
this new pointing 2022, actually it is end of 2022 begining of 2023 so almost two years passed. M60 TIYK project going very well but no sign about Leopard 2 TIYK, Germany may be obstructing some issues ?

According to this post, those 40 tanks are not included in the TIYK for 81 tanks.True as far as I understand, the modernization project is progressing step by step, first Roketsan upgraded armours accourding to this news in 2022 https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tiyk-leo-2a4-leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu/
But later on the project was brought together under BMC management, now Aselsan is integrating its own electronic systems under BMC management.
As part of the urgent need for operations, 40 Leopard 2A4s have been upgraded to the Leopard2A4T1 level with the armor packages produced by Roketsan. With the TİYK-LEO 2A4, the remaining tanks will be subjected to both electronic and ballistic modernization. NG is getting real…
We will see if it will be Leopard NG or LEOTAY

But are they included in 81 or seperate?Leo2A4T1s only have the Roketsan armor package. They will also undergo the TIYK upgrade.
i expected it to be like that, most probably after Turkish army approval of Leopard 2A4T1 they went fully modernization.Leo2A4T1s only have the Roketsan armor package. They will also undergo the TIYK upgrade.
FNSS has been chosen for YNZMAY'all are expecting tracked YNZMA (Next Generation IFV/APC) project to go through? Here we have got you some modernized G-ZPT, G stands for Geliştirilmiş - Improved.
Nevertheless, better than nothing since it seems like we neither going to get wheeled, nor tracked APC/IFV until BMC or MKE makes one, tests it thoroughly and fulfills the requirements to pass the qualification tests. Living the poverty in midst of wealth.
I'm okay with them upgrading aluminium death boxes we already have but I might lose my mind if they ordered a new batch.Y'all are expecting tracked YNZMA (Next Generation IFV/APC) project to go through? Here we have got you some modernized G-ZPT, G stands for Geliştirilmiş - Improved.
