BMC still uses imported armor glass and plates from Israel, their vehicle family was designed with the Israeli company Carmor. BMC haven't changed the design that much. Majority of company owned by Qataris.

"Favoritism" costed lives in Syria, army didn't have proper vehicles. Wheeled IFVs that should had been acquired 4-6 years ago wasn't there. Engine alternatives for IFVs could be easily found. Why was contract still delayed to this point is question. Future of Leo modernization was unclear for...

Although Otokar is 100% Turkish owned. It's parent company Koc Holding. Koc owns the largest automotive manufacturing capabilities in the country. Otosan Ford (41% owned by Koc, 41% owned by Ford), Tofas (37,8% owned by Koc, 37,8 owned by Fiat). Otosan designs and builds engines. But Koc Holding...

No. Its comes down to cost and practicality. Much more infrastructure required to use it in a VLS form. Different booster etc. It would also limit VLS space and the number of AShM's ship can carry. It would take longer to replace. All the additional cost to launch it from VLS is not worth it...

Developing the missiles for it lol

Forming a land-based Naval Air Force would the best step to take in the meanwhile

Özden Örnek (1943-2018), one of the most important names of the Milgem project. All of his life, he had to deal with fake plots against him to stop his work. They did it until he became sick physically. Without him Milgem project wouldn't be possible.

Does it really matter at this point? Here is more Leo modernization project :ROFLMAO:

S&T Dynamics EST15K transmission is still in development, Doosan engine is also ready. If we can combine UTKU, BATU engine with S&T transmission in the short term it would save us a lot of time if possible http://www.hisntd.com/eng/product/defense/mobile.html

Cost/Performance might be so good that I can see Navy wanting 4 more if it can be financed. Hopefully with nationalized weapon systems, electronics and Lodos-Zorya engine.

Sungur system can both fire Sungur Manpad and Cirit, considering it would be also used from behind a hill, wall and entrenched position etc. It makes sense

Different Zorya engine have to be used for Ada-class but some info https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/64915258 The first to use GT-25000 gas turbines is the 052C destroyer, which uses 2 GT-25000 gas turbines + 2 MTU diesel engines for...

Amazing opportunity for Turkish Navy to test the Ukrainian engines and earn capability to integrate them to Milgem platforms.

FNSS and Otokar which has been developing AFVs for 15+ years, and this thing is going to get the contract lol

Leo modernization

Conditions changed. Isn't the remaining ships going to use MDAS VLS and other new nationalized systems etc? A lot of testing, qualification to be done. Is there really room for private shipyards when there is such dire need for these ships to enter service?
