So did they abandon Leotay or the image is a stock one?
Not sure what is about to happen with the Leopard 2A4 modernization but the picture also have another inaccuracy in terms of graphical presentation. On the place of Kirpi II they wrongly placed Kirpi.

BMC didn't include Kirpi 2 PNG in their website.
As for Firtina and Leopard 2s, one can assume that they want to keep that on the low and thats why they dont want to include them.

Within the scope of the ZMA-15 Modernization Project, the driving and firing tests of the prototype vehicle, whose production was completed, were successfully completed.

Regarding the ZMA-15 Modernization Program, a contract was signed between ASELSAN and the Defense Industry Presidency (SSB) on 31.12.2019. In this context, the driving and firing tests of the ZMA-15 vehicle of the Turkish Land Forces Command, which were modernized, were successfully completed.

Within the scope of the project, 133 ACV vehicles will be equipped with local and original solutions, modern weapon systems and high-tech mission equipment, their survivability will be significantly increased and their service life will be extended. " statements were included.

This Modernization is quite Expensive at 900M TL (150M USD)

I'm not convinced that this is logical because these Vehicles are old in their Core.
If an APC like TULPAR or KAPLAN 30 is too big or Expensive they could have chosen the same Vehicle from STA Project (Kaplan 10) to increase Commonality.
Since there are 344 Vehicles on order an Increase would lower the Price per Vehicle even further.

MoD shouldn't modernize more than 133 Vehicles.
I hope that this GZPT Modernization is a Gap filler for a serious APC fitted with Korhan 35mm Turret and AKKOR APS, perhaps 2x ATGM.

I am talking about this one.
