TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

[Saithan]

20-30 pieces earmarket for export, so we should look into receiving something like 66 tank a year when it's up and running on max capacity.

Sounds fishy, and I am not sure if the increase in production can be done as mentioned. Also I am not sure if we got export permit for the tanks using SK engine+transmission.

But hey-ho let's see, expectations are rock bottom anyway. RTE can't get shit PR for delivering Altay after all this time. But maybe that's just me.

Then build 4 production plants instead of just 1.

Enough unemployed people waiting for jobs.

Tank production is good for every aspect of the economy. It will lift you up to a higher level as a country.

If only we could just replace the 12.7 mm on Sarp with something that could use airburst munition and act as CIWS..

If Trump is gonna assasinated on monday during te innaguration, we can buy Abram tanks instead till Altay gets serial production.

We can't buy them. If Donald John Trump's head is blown off during his inauguration, the USA will be dragged into a second civil war. The political climate is already more tense than ever due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. Then we can't buy those tanks because they will use them to kill each other!!

Proportionally, what is the difference between Altay's first design and its final version?

Was gonna say the same thing, would be nice if they could (if structurally it is possible) reaplce the 12.7mm with 20mm ATOM. The Tank already has radars for AKKOR, they could use it to detect drones and use the 20mm gun with ATOM as the Hard-Kill instead of wasting AKKOR for it.

In theory, we have (and actively use on other platforms) everything we need to make a short range CIWS for land platforms.

We have few radar systems that we use that could detect drones and other munitions, I don't know if sensors on Altay can detect drones from a distance, but if they can't perhaps we could adapt one of those radars to use with Altay.

Aselsan Sarp (and other remote weapon systems) have auto tracking option, as far as I can remember. So we are covered in that regard. And, Gökdeniz can auto-engage targets, so Aselsan has that capability as well. They also have ATOM 35 and 25 mm and I think it was mentioned they were going to make 30 or 20 (or both) as well. So, we either have the munition ready or we know that it can be developed.

Between MKE and others, we know we can make any calibre barrel we need. Perhaps we can use shorter barrels, to help with remote turret adaptation and since it is primarily a self defence weapon, loss of range wouldn't really be important, as long as we can keep it to something like 1 km. Even Venom LR could be an option here.

The question is, can all these hardware and software we have or use in other systems be put together to make a compact (preferably only slightly larger than Sarp Altay has now) CIWS system that we can use with airburst munitions primarily against drones? No fucking idea, but I really hope we can.

Good that you shared. I hadn't seen it.

- Current production rate of EST15K transmission is two per year.
- Production rate will be increased to one transmission per 3 days after the introduction of the mass production system.

[Scott Summers]

What is the estimate date for massproduction of Altay?

KAAN
Altay
KIZILELMA

These 3 Wunderwaffen can make us very rich when we can export them.

There are 56 islamic countries and they will be our customers.

Money talks. If a country wants to buy them and they're not in direct conflict with our foreign-policy, they will be able to buy, the religion part is irrelevant. In fact, it's more likely that the majority of the customers would be non-muslims since they are, on average, richer. Mind you, these products won't be cheap.

Saudi Arabia

Singapore
Indonesia
Malaysia
Pakistan
Nigeria
Algeria
Morocco
Bahrain

These are rich islamic countries. Our government has good relations with islamic nations, our Ministry of Trade and Defense should use these networks.

We are selling fuck ton of military equipment and vehicle right now and yet majority of our exports in 2024 were to Europe according to SSB president. If the number of Islamic countries we sell any of those passes more than a handful I'll pop up to Edinburgh and eat haggis.

I find really hilarious that people put so much stock in religion for exports. I doubt their is a single instance someone chose a military product just because a nation was of the same religion instead of what they really wanted/needed or what was cheap.
