I have been looking into the Anadolu Isuzu tactical truck Seyit 8x8. The producer is Anadolu Savunma a Company owned by Anadolu Isuzu.
The Vehicle has been seen recently (13.11.2020 ) Carrying the Early Warning Radar System produced by ASELSAN.

The Vehicle has a very distinct look. But I came across the TATRA Trucks, specifically the T815 8x8

The Anadolu Seyit 8x8 Tactical Truck, from the looks of it, seems like a license build of the Tatra T815 8x8.

Going back a little bit in Time precisely IDEF 19 The Vehicle has been shown and an interview Anadolu Agency followed.

The Date is 05.2019. This Vehicle shown as Seyit 8x8 looks not just prettier but also much more indigenous. It seems very weird that between 05.2019 and 11.2020 the Vehicle just nonchalantly changed design and came closer to Tatra Trucks just a year later.
Anadolu Isuzu CEO Tuğrul Arıkan said in the 2019 interview: " Seyit has been designed completely by Turkish Engineers".
Anadolu Agency added that The designs of the vehicles, which are supported by Tatra in the infrastructure,
especially the armored cabin, were completely carried out by Turkish engineers at the Anadolu Isuzu R&D Center.

> My Conclusion that the Project Timeframe was too ambitious so instead they opted for a License Build of the Tatra T815.
What Supports my Conclusion is the Fact BMC Defence has been working on a similar 8x8 Truck since at least a Decade without too much to show.
-The BMC 525-44 8x8 was revealed in 2012.
