The leo ng upgrade was really costy and also their main focus was developing the altay tank , also the leopard tank reputation got destroyed during syria operation , also now with the new mentality of ssb , they want domestic products , i think the insider got it on point , the same thing happened to sabra tank , first they did some changing and new armor plates , new actice protection system pulat , aselsan electronics with remote weapon station and also lately new volkan firing system .
The same thing will happen to leo , they developed armor kit in a short time which is incredible , aselsan will do its job as always i hope they will add actice protection system , at least pulat system , also fnss is the right place .
Take in mind that this upgrade can be used in other countries .
The altay leo is really not necessary , the tank is heavy and we will waste leo turrets for nothing , and its also very expensive , so we should use that on the real altay which is soon will be produced .
And also in 2024 we can upgrade these leo with new powerpacks from bmc andbelive these leo's will be the best in the world .
Turkey soon will be among the big players in arms dealers around the world , and soon turkey will have access to more geographic area since they will be free from foreign parts , this is the main goal , when we talk domestic products that means everything , without it you are nothing .
Lets hope the best for turkish army and turkish people they came to really close point and a lot of westerns look at turkey as enemy and they will try there best to obstacle them
