I think it will be used to modernise the 2a4 and more service oriented maybe if TIYK M60 also gets approved they will be modernised as well

I counted just 20 pieces of V12 , it is okay to start somehow.

Ther are v8 and V12 engines, maybe they are waiting for the certification or approve off the army. Currently they are testing the engine, when it is finished theya re going to use BMC engine. We are not putting Korean engine together, for what?

I counted 26 in the same picture, they are just cast engine blocks. Probably a component that is safe to make early in the process.

This is totally unbelievable! They had all this time and having lived through live combat scenarios whereby a leo2a was blown apart due to munition explosion in Syria , they still have not taken the time to segregate the munition from personnel.
Even now old school tanks like Chieftain2, Merkava, Leclerc2 and Abrams have isolated munition racks. This is a total disregard of the value of life of personnel.
Never mind Altay, even the old leo2s we have should have undergone this isolation process.

This project is a total fucking shitshow. Not only they didn't make the turret unmanned, they couldn't even be bothered with improving on bloody 3rd gen tank design of munition racks. BMC (and officials that have been shoving them down the throat of our military) should be hounded out of anything to do with this project. Utter fucking disgrace.

They should seriously close BMC and give its assets to FNSS or Otokar

Isolated hull racks are part of T2, been the same for nearly a decade now. Per last reports, first 85 tanks will be T1s.

They probably only grasped the seriousness of the situation during the Ukraine-Russia war, as the lessons from Syria went unheeded. Redesigning the tank would have caused delays, so they decided to postpone the changes instead.

It's the same plan since 2018. Is it shit, very much so. Does it really matter when none of our tanks have protected hull racks? Not really.

It means BMC is blatantly lying. We have photo evidence. They are not isolated ammunition racks. The first 40 tanks will probably be delivered without those capabilities in line with existing plans.
