Pretty detailed video from Roketsan on Altay's armor
What's with that angular front part? Current Altay doesn't have such a armor piece as far as i'm aware? For T2/T3 maybe?

I’m confused myself. If that sloped structure is supposed to deflect the shot, it didn’t because The round clearly penetrated through. Was it maybe intended to absorb the energy rather than stopping it?

its not sloped to deflect but to increase its effective thickness most apfds round don't deflect. Absorb and slow down the projectile also hollow for heat warheads

So the numbers are like this :
(T1 - 3 YEAR ) - 85 TANKS
2025 - 5 tanks
2026 - 11 tanks
2027 - 40 tanks
2028* - 30 tanks
( T2 - 2 YEARS - 165 TANKS )
2028* - 2030 - 165 TANKS T2
( total 250 Tanks for 5 years )
New factory can build 98 tanks per year at full power and 100 + armored vihacles
- Still we need to speed up the process or we cant finish 1000 tank until 2042 while out advesaries like russia can build 300 tanks per year . We can deacrease Apc-ifv and produce 120 tanks per year at least .
