Date given for ALTAY Tank's domestic engine


BMC Defense's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Fuat Tosyalı, gave a date for the ALTAY Tank's domestic engine, Batu, in his statement at SAHA EXPO.

Tosyalı said in his statement, “At the point we have reached today, we anticipate that the tests of the power group we developed will be completed around the end of 2026, the beginning of 2027. From that moment on, we will include our domestic power groups in the ongoing production process. This is not a situation that disrupts our production anyway.”

While domestic engine studies for ALTAY continue, field tests of engines supplied from South Korea continue.

Looks like Engines will be the Achilles' Heel for the Turkish defense industry, they said the second half of 2025, looks like something went wrong.
I think they have problems with manufacturing/mass production.

So they are on track with this.

Prof. Dr. Murat Yalçıntaş | 10 December 2023:
  • TUNA (400 HP) is in serial production
  • AZRA (600 HP) will be probably in serial production in 2024
  • UTKU (1000 HP) serial production at end of 2026
  • BATU (1500 HP) serial production after 2027 (he says "2027'den sonra", so maybe he means in 2027)
