TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

Might be the best option for our Altay MBT.

They had transmission problems but if they sorted those out it will be a perfect decision for Altay until Turkish national engine arrives.

Would it be waste of time if Turkey produced middle weight tank with ukrainian engine and 105mm gun?

Why 105 mm ? İf we integrate him autoloader and integrate 3 crew to front of tank and concantrate armor protection to thiss area they can carry 120 mm L/55 and can give to crew same protection with altay and can reach altay speed level (65 km.) Passing autoloader on e-mbt gived the germans exta 7 tonnes.

[Combat-Master]

These are very exciting news! Who could be the engine manufacturer? Italy, UK, Ukraine?

It's British, I am 90% sure on this.

I think it will be the best possible choice when we take into account the current situation. The UK seems to be reliable enough partner on that stage which also have the know-how and guaranteed quality of production.

Bro, remember when you were looking for a gun with a lot more oomph than the 30mm 2A42 and 25mm Bushmaster. Do you not like the Russian 57mm AU-220M?

57mm with rapid fire is good but it can't replace 105-120mm AP sabots.

57mm with rapid fire is good but it can't replace 105-120mm AP sabots.

But for dealing with insurgents in cover it works a lot better. Also to counter the heavier armored ifv like Puma it is necessary.

For covering mission with rapid fire 30x173mm more efficient than 57mm. Because you can burst more ammo.
For instance first attack of 25mm or 30mm attack is bursing 8 rounds. İf target is not neutralized then more 8 rounds.
You can't do this with 57mm.
Moreover new type 30mm ammunitions totally lethal . 30mm high-end ammo can put on end a MBT.

I think we will get our engine from South Korea.

Indonesia had 42 Leopard 2 currently without additional protection modules, like that withe other 61 Leopard 2RI (Rheinmetall AMAP), I see a good chance of Turkish product filling the void.

The mass production process continues in the Altay tank. The first tanks will be out of the band by mid next year.
