With the Altay Project we want to have a tank making industry that can make the tank from A to Z.
We don't want tanks that are not made by the Turkish industry.
We don't want tanks that are lacking in self protection.
We don't want tanks that are outdated.

Today's mobile phones are as powerful as super computers of 15-20 years ago.
What take decades for the first try will take half as much for a second time (Mr Aksit about engine development time get halved for a second time).

Neither Pakistan nor China would want to get caught red handed trying to copy Turkish technology.

Do you want to use it against American allies, forget about it.
