@Nilgiri; First of all, thank you so much for answer. You are my man! :)
The partnerships of PKK and LTTE are not that simple. Yes, they may be working with the same arms dealers, but both terrorist organizations are protected and financed by the "European Establishment".
IMO, 3D building material will be used, which will be obtained by sintering from titanium alloy powders. Like some cheeses, there will be plenty of pores in this material.

Turkiye's tanks are outdated, I totally agree with that. But there is one thing you missed: The tank concept itself is outdated! Insisting on the outdated concept of "We will modernize the tanks" will do great harm to Turkiye, which is a money-scarce country. I think a maximum of 250 Altays will...

IMO, Altay tank should not be produced before operational AKKOR and the terrestrial armed&armored drone concept to accompany the tank are created. In addition, tanks that can't provide countermeasures...
I was actually expecting this. My understanding is that the South Korean power pack was not obtained either because of the transmission problem or because of the US pressure on South Korea. On the other hand, the domestic power package would mature after 2025, which was clearly expected.
Altay...
