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.
What they are saying is partially true because the ammo racks in the turret are isolated also that picture is more than 5 years old

Can you please enlighten us why/how that one picture proofs your point? How did you determine from that picture that it won't be in the final product? Which mechanical parts are missing from doing it? Why can't it be added further down the production line?

Ammo racks on the turret being isolated is a 60 year old design, that's not the point of the discussion. Photo was shared today by Güngör's twitter account during his visit to the factory.

All of it. There's nothing to argue here. We knew for 6 years that T1 would come with open hull stowage. An isolated stowage would be isolated, it's not an add-on.

So are you saying that isolated rack is a whole module which has to be assembled outside of the tank and then put inside the hull as a whole module?

Yes. This is how it looks on M1, though M1 carries most of its load on the turret:

Im not denying that i meant the graphic that was shown about the program development is a old picture
But still mostly up to date.
