They must be referring to the turret.VN-11 combat module?
Lmao, true.Apply cold water to the burnt area, KPI.
It was apparent that there were some foul play with that so called report from a month or two ago. Pity. Always the same with Paramount, can never do it the right way.
Please refer to the original post Kazakstan MoD. It has more to offer.
In short KPI, a local company, seems to spread rumors about Arma, including the leak of the alleged sinking incident - that turned out to be a part of the test. Also claiming that their product Barys is not inferior to Arma and 40% cheaper. Moreover the same company, has rejected a request made by MoD to test their vehicle with the combat module. Nor they have attempted to solve the deficiencies in overall, but swept them beneath the rug hoping to be privileged at the tender.
Barys does not float, they haven't attempted to fix that, nor offers 100mm turret as required by the tender. According to the interview, they also seem to fail at providing earlier orders as required, not equipping wheeled armored vehicles with requested combat modules at the guaranteed pace.
In short; Kazakstan MoD bashing a local company KPI, in all aspects they could. Apply cold water to the burnt area, KPI. Hoped to see the same from Turkish MoD.

Per this 100mm gun thing, maybe they'll opt for a Chinese copy of the Russian turret as they don't want to get the BMP-3 turret like UAE did? Also keeps Otokar's name clear of any future business with Russia.
From wiki:
"China produces a similar gun used on the ZBD-04 IFV, using technologies licensed from Russia in 1996."
VN-11 is the export name of ZBD-004.2A70 - Wikipedia

ZBD-004 with the mentioned turret. Don't know about the dimensions, but shouldn't be too hard for Otokar to handle it. Turret is probably a downgrade compared to what Otokar usually offers, but should be cheaper and keep the Kazakhs happy.
I hadn't even noticed, you're right!Looks like this Turret was already equipped on Arma ?
Here it even took part in exercises under the observation by President Tokayev?
Indeed we should have a modular turret with multiple caliber support such as Cockerill 3000 series.I hadn't even noticed, you're right!
This looks to be the turret of the VN20 heavy tracked IFV. It can also carry a single ATGM on its side.
This is a 4 billion dollar deal so it being won is s success in itself but still, after using western turrets for years and even Russian ones, Turkish vehicles are now using Chinese ones. Being flexible is great, yes; but those turrets sometimes cost as much as the vehicle itself, so it's still lost revenue.
Typical Turk!Another company is being added to the TTA segment.
