Look what i have found v2
Another Interview with Osman Dur fairly recent at that. it is from yesterday (04.02.2021)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is very apparent that he has quite the passion and the ambition in what he does.
In the beginning he talks about his achievements again because the interviewer asks him and that leads to BMC Power
around the 32 Minute mark.
> He says that Otokar worked with the Koreans to create the Tank and that Tümosan was tasked to develop the Power pack
with a foreign Company until they stopped it and Tümosan canceled it.
He approached SSM at that Time and told them that could do it nd convinced the Representatives at SSM that no foreign Company
should be included because Current Engineers can do it on their own and thus the Engine Development started.
> Transmission needs more experience so the Transmission Team has foreign engineers.
> Similiar to what he has done at TÜRKSAT he went and looked around the Globe for people with Experience in Engine Development and the Project started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> This is where it gets interesting. He says completely nonchalant that during negotiations for the 1500HP Power pack tender with SSM He tasked the young Teams work on a small Engine Project and they aimed for a 600HP tank carrier Engine. 2.5 Years Later the 600HP first Ignition of the Engine in Sakarya, He says that the President was there aswell and that it was 2 Years ago (10.2018)
> After that Engine they started the 380HP Engine for Kirpi and Vuran. There was a tender and they won it.
> Followed by the 1000HP Firtina Engine.
Current Status:
> 380 HP Ignited working and being integrated on the Vehicle
> 600 HP Ignited (10.2018), working Tests almost finished being integrated in the tank carrier vehicle
> 1000HP ignited (11.2020) 3 Months ago, Tests continue
> 1500HP will be shown in around 3 months
