TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

[TheInsider]

Yeah, the Altay tank factory will be built in Ankara. This time BMC with Tosyalı at the helm will do it for sure.

What is last state at AKKOR ?

It is ready and waiting for its platform.

 

[Tornadoss]

It is ready and waiting for its platform.

What about Akkor-lite?

 

[Pilatino]

It is ready and waiting for its platform.

Are you serious about it? This is one of the biggest news for me! As a citizen i have to ask why there's no trace from it then especially in the Syria?

Because there is no platform to put it on.

It is not ready.

BMC CEO: "The first design of the Altay tanks which were made about 10 years ago, we improved technology in accordance with changing battlefield needs"

What exactly have they changed?

 

[TheInsider]

Mass production is stated to start in 2025 hoping that there will be no further delay as this is becoming obnoxious now , looks like we are gonna see tf-x fly and even maybe enter service ( very optimistic) and tens of different products finalised before we see these produced . Starting to wonder if it is worthwile to buy spains 2a4's or equivalents from somewhere else to give our operators something semi-modern, not too confident we will see altay anytime soon even if we do with a production rate of 8 a month it will take a long time to reach a sizeable number ... hope im proved wrong though

 

[Tsenal]

I'll continue to be skeptical until the first tank rolls of the production line. They might as well jump straight to T3 configuration with autoloader.

You‘ll need German permission to get Leo2s from other states like Spain. Anyway, if Europeans decide to send Leos into Ukraine there won‘t be much left for sale. All European militaries combined have only 2000-2200 Leo2 variants deployed

Hehehe, more of an export market for Altay

 

[Afif]

I think, after 250 ALTAY T1 production they will probably directly switch to new generation T3 configuration.

I mean, if we look at the current Altay equipped with new gen Volkan ii fire control system and newly redesigned armor, i believe it is already on per with what is supposed to T2 configuration back than when it was planned in 2012/13.
@TheInsider What do you think?

Who could that be in Europe? Possibly Albania and Bosnia . Spain as an offset for Navantia sales … any other candidates?

Anyone who wants to but can't get their hands on Leo2's. They'll try to go for Abrams 1st, but once they'll find out the production lines are all backed up, it will be all Altay, all the time!

Most probably, Korea will dominate that market.

Not with those pricetags.
