Would it be too expensive or complicated to add laser guided ATGMs on new modernized IFVs? US Bradleys have ATGM along with the 25mm auto cannon.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.

As you know laser guided missiles are cheaper and Turkish defence industry reached enough technology of them.
My humble opinion , laser guided OMTAS would suit those IFVs. Just using 25mm auto cannon doesn't make full modernization.
