The Malyshev plant is preparing a presentation of a new engine for Turkish Altay tanks
The Ukrainian version of the diesel tank engine for the promising Turkish Altay tank is planned to be demonstrated by the Malyshev Plant at the IDEF-2021 defense exhibition in Turkey, which was postponed from May to August due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This was announced at a recent briefing (July 19) by the General Director of the state enterprise Vasyl Krylas, the National Industrial Portal reports with reference to Defense Express.
“We have a prototype of this engine. In my opinion, there will be an exhibition in Turkey in August, we have to go there and demonstrate. I know that they work themselves, they have their own experiences. But I want to say that a lot of time can pass from the development to the serial production of such engines, ”said Vasyl Krylas, referring to the Turkish prototype of the Batu engine, which was first announced in January this year.
Prototype of the tank engine 6TD-4 with a capacity of 1500 hp
It is worth noting that the first Altay prototypes, which were developed in 2018, were equipped with a German engine MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH with a capacity of 1500 hp. However, due to the German embargo, further supplies have now become impossible.
We will remind, earlier we reported that the Malyshev Plant began modernization of the main T-80UD battle tanks for Pakistan.
