TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

I don't think so

Damn, I was really hoping we would hear something by now, even if they didn't start integrating them right now. If we're going to continue abusing, sorry, using those poor old M60s we really need that turret and all other upgrades we can slap on them.

What is the latest with Altay serial production? Last thing we know that it is started but that's about it.

It will enter service in 18 months brother.

 

[Fairon]

It will enter service in 18 months brother.

I didn't hear that from some time. I am relieved now.

 

[Kartal1]

It will enter service in 18 months brother.

This is the ultimate answer. The answer of answers to all questions

When that happens.... Cifte telli atacam...

Yeah but what about the "qualification tests". Unlike Otokar's prototypes we haven't seen any visual, video or anything such from BMC's. Many people even doubt if it is a made-from-scratch prototype.

This engine sounds great

BMC power says they've sent the first batch of utku and batu to sakarya to be tested.
And 2 tuna sent to Izmir for educational purpose

How useful is it to use a tank barrel for mortar duty?

How useful is it to use a tank barrel for mortar duty?

It does not have to use as mortar duty, enemy in trench or behind a building spread.

By the end of next year, both our tank factories will be completed with all their units and the first tanks will be delivered to our forces.”

If the factory is built by the end of next year then the first serially produced Altay tank rolls out in in 18 months?

As always.

 

[hugh]

What do you not understand in this sentence?



So not another 18 month period. But we are speaking about the ALTAY project, everything can happen.
It is like Fenerbahce wants to become champions every year.

I understand two subsequent events. One is the finishing of the factory and the second is the first deliveries of the serially produced units. If the first did not happen yet, the production of the second cannot start. I understood as that the factory will be finished by the end of next year and then the first production units will be delivered. I could be wrong as I did not watch the interview.

This project is a disaster, if they had had this in the background and developed it calmly, this project would not have been exposed to ridicule. They would have been better advised to start by building the K2 Black Panther with slight modifications for deserts and mountains under license, at least the first 200 units. Then you would at least have something and you could finally retire these ancient cucumbers like Leopard 1 & Co.

 

[Anmdt]

Yes, according to him the serial production will start immideatly after the factory is in service.

And one question;

Where the hell is / are the prototype(s) running in TSK's hands?

We had been frequently updated back in old days while Otokar's prototypes been through the field tests. Almost no words with BMC's new prototype, nor visual

Off topic but I'm so glad you went there mate. You've taken better photos than most of our so called defence journalists.

What does it mean that both tank factories are their two factories, and if so, is one being built while the other one is operational?

well at least they updated the Tank.

 

[No Name]

ChatGPT fcked up the translation there. Only one factory is being build right now.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.
