ASELSAN Signs Leopard 2A4 Upgrade Agreement | TURDEF
ASELSAN and BMC signed a contract worth 197.4 million Euros and 1.3 billion TL to modernise Leopard 2A4 tanks within the TİYK-LEO2A4 Project.turdef.com
Yeah technically 2022 but since the contract with Aselsan was signed in May 2023, we can say that it started last year. Because most of the parts will be from Aselsan.
i expected it to be like that, most probably after Turkish army approval of Leopard 2A4T1 they went fully modernization.Leo2A4T1s only have the Roketsan armor package. They will also undergo the TIYK upgrade.
