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.

True as far as I understand, the modernization project is progressing step by step, first Roketsan upgraded armours accourding to this news in 2022 https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tiyk-leo-2a4-leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu/

But later on the project was brought together under BMC management, now Aselsan is integrating its own electronic systems under BMC management.
