That is a nato flag, not a flag to send tanks.

You are right, but protest and demonstration should be done by civil society in a peaceful and civilized manner. Usually, shouting and ranting at 'them' or burning flags doesn't get us anywhere and only makes matter worse. However, state may issue a formal condemnation of the specific...

I wonder if you did passed by them. You see, fundamentally i am not against public demonstration for religious or cultural reasons. It is natural if somebody's religious or cultural feeling is hurt, they should have the right to do so. However in reality, instead of peaceful, civilized...

I think he should be condemned individually for his action, given he is a political figure and doing such unspeakable thing to achieve a political goal involving Turkey as he stated already. However, in an ideal situation this idiot should not be given such publicity and should be completely...

Bro, increasing the effort for joint standardization and joint logistic is very good initiative for both countries. However, vast majority of Azerbaijan Armenia border as well as Azerbaijan Russia border are hill tracks. Would a 65t heavy tank like Altay would be the best option for such...

Jokes aside, we should note that, unmanned tank is not as much appealing to todays military planners as unmanned areal vehicles are. Two completely different warfighting domain with very difference tactics and strategies . You can see Abrams X, KF51 Panther or Korean next gen MBT are all manned...

I am guessing you are talking about Turkish occupied areas in Syria? In that case, heavy IFVs are better suited to fight such insurgents than 105mm light tank. However, the later would be more useful if there was a conventional mechanized enemy infantry. Which there isnt.

Tanks doesn't have wing.

First and foremost, you really need to find conceptual application of such platform within Turkish military doctrine. And i dont see any. To protect border against insurgents, motorized/light mechanized infantry is much better than tank.

In a broader sense i am referring to future ACV 15 replacement. But it seems Turkish army instead procuring new platform, they are modernizing the existing ones for now. However, with a good amount of Altay battalions becoming fully operational there will be a need for new generation platform...

You mean the program or the operational concept?

I guess, you mean fire support for infantry? it would be a really good idea, specially for urban operations. Why not do both? some 105mm turret like @Merzifonlu suggested and others with 30mm auto cannons. Anyway, i just think m48 is too old to deserve this kind of investments. Turkish army...

What is it about? Do you have any reliable link for the cost you mentioned?

Really? Just So you know, nothing is disappearing or going to dissappear in vacuum. If anyone has a chance to look eye to eye at lockheed Martin or BAE system in next 15/20 years it is TUSAS not Baykar.

Usually, in my opinion, the REALPOLITIK is the better and safest way to go when assessing the worlds matters in terms of geopolitics. Is this a loaded question? I will let you to be the judge of that. After i explicitly mentioned, it should be obvious i am using the classification in terms of...

It is nothing difficult, i just dont agree with your argument. Why there is so much 'white man' coming in the conversation? As i said, Note, there is nothing personal for me about this debate/conversation we are having. Please, be aware of that.

Given its proximity to the armor units it may come under indirect fire. In that case, a tracked chassis would have been better for such platform. both in terms mobility and protection.

That is never irrelevant. No offense, but it seems this particular argument of yours is mostly based on body count and whataboutism. Thus, you are reaching such conclusion. I am only reffering to the 3rd world and 2nd world classifications in terms of social and economic development stage...

Having said of all this, western media is considerably more independent than third and second world countries media.

Europeans doesnt have DU rounds. and i doubt if Americans will send them.
