No, transmission is the hardest part, it is very complicated and needs to stand against 70 tons while propelling the tank

Well, it is already done to some T-155 Fırtına's and M113s. I don't see a big problem for Altay except for some time (integration process)

Not really, if you are talking about solely electric with enormous batteries, yes. But we are talking about Diesel-electric

Our problem is not the engine, it is the transmission. That's why we are talking about diesel-electric hybrid systems, that were proven to work by MKEK in M113 and T-155 Fırtına

they can use ATOM and they are connected to the radar system

Well, cruise power of AI-25TLT has less thrust than TF-6000s power (~6000lbf) divided by 4, but airframe and intakes affect it a lot

We also should not forget that intakes exist

Edit: Al-322f is for the Supersonic variant, not the high-subsonic. Also, the high-subsonic one will use Al-25TLT, Licensed by TEI, so no problem of engine stock. So, it could be possible that with TF-6000, it can supercruise, I am no aerodynamics expert so don't really know about the airframe...

Yes, because you don't really need to be supersonic, you use supersonic for dodging long range missiles now, and MİUS doesn't really need it as it can probably do 25g's. Also, subsonic is better for loitering time, there is a reason why F-35 did not have the criteria of supercruise

Well, the supersonic one will use the TF-6000, we have enough (they said that it was a lot, and probably they have the license to produce them). Not a problem for now

Not really, non parallel canards to the ground does not effect stealth in a bad way. Yeah, they do increase the area but by tilting it upwards (Fe: J-20), you make the canards stealthy. Common examples: J-10, EF, Rafale, J-20

Kızılelma for QE? would be good tho

I would like to say that some statements from USAF satet that F-35 is stealthier than the F-22, i expect F-22 and TF-X to have similar values and F-35 to have a bit better because it is bit smaller.

Engine thermals is not really about the engine, it is mostly about the airframe. And the engine is deep buried to the center in this aircraft, so i dont think that it will have problems

we dont know, we cant. But if the RAM quality is somewaht equal, they would probably have similar RCS

It is a mix of both. Baykar does things differently

Also, K2 (the tank that Altay was based on) can withstand K279 APFSDS from CN08 L/55 gun from 500 meters to turret and the hull easily (around 750-850mms of penetration). And K2 weights 55 tons while IDEF 2021 Altay is around 68-70. lets say 5 tons were because of turret enlargement and APS+FCS...

Yes, but keep in mind that we dont have a clear vehicle for T3. Also, base Altay (IDEF 2021) is already good, KF-51 panther is nothing but an upgraded Leopard 2A4 with some fancy add-on's and it weights 59 tons (OG 2A4 is 55), so not much of an improvement in armour department. You can easly add...

Yes, criticism is very important. But MAM-C is not useless, BOZOK is for purposes between MAM-L and MAM-C, they are not looking from pink glasses, it is just MAM-C not being useless. Also, producing new munitions are good for exports
