TR Land Vehicle Programs

Are those brands from different countries? Didn't we try this with Altay and only SK agreed much later? I am just asking because i am curious and i don't want to see old junk in the inventory.

I am not the expert of the matter but the way Altay designed lead to only one engine that is made by MTU and the gearbox coupled to it to offer the required performace. We could have started Altay in a way to support alternative powerpacks in much earlier stages.
And since South Korean engine was the only likely compatible powerpack, (hence the Altay project itself stemming from K1 and same powerpack used on the similar chasis) with the minimal redesign process.

And when we come down to IFV - APC class the powerpack is available by multiple manufacturers located in different countries as far as i know.

Good discussion regarding land vehicles in general with Cem Altınışık from FNSS. Starting from how IFV's are created and evolved(both tracked and wheeled), some details for Pars Alpha design process and ending with next generation tanks and medium tanks.

It is good to learn that Kaplan and Zaha has almost the same logistical base.(I was hoping for that but now we kinda have confirmation) This will be great if Navy wants a APC, IFV and medium tank. Simply acquiring Kaplan with different configuration will help them simplify their logistic planning.(Especially considering the space limitation)

Otokar seems to set eyes on success of Toyota pickup in middleeast wars.

We might see Turkish pickups with Turkish machine guns in near conflicts!


Otokar is extending its successful cooperation with Foton, one of the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, in the truck segment to the pick-up market with Tunland.


The Foton Tunland G7 pickup, which attracts attention with its strong performance, durability and wide usage area, will be offered for sale in Turkey and will offer an important alternative for the business world and individual users.

Where is the BMC Pick-up?

Where is the BMC Pick-up?

I am wondering that myself. They are sitting on a gold mine but that project(Tulga) seems to be going nowhere. I think instead of focusing Altug and tracked IFV project, they should have been focusing on Tulga.

Where is the BMC Pick-up?

... where is Altay, Altug 8x8, the supposed tracked IFV they were working on and so on and so on. Looks like it is not as easy as copying an Israeli or Otokar design and mildly improving over it. They better stick to trucks.

Where is the BMC Pick-up?

Apparently they don't plan to sell Tulga to the masses. Armored or otherwise.

They are fools.

Or it's a plagiarised Toyota Pickup they've just given a new shell, and called it a day. and don't want people to find out.

Food for thought, UKs upcoming / ongoing projects:

In the next few years we will have so many different weapon systems and thus different launchers, that i think we need either a modular launcher or an indigenous Boxer.

I just hope my dream combination of Pars Alpha and the Korhan turret will come true. It would easily be the best looking IFV.

In the beginning when shots of Pars Alpha's design first came out the design of the vehicle suggested that a similar modularity system was implemented to the one of Boxer.

Later we were a bit disappointed to learn that this is not the case. Nevertheless I am sure that if TSK says it wants such a vehicle, FNSS will be able to develop it.

Wouldn't that require TSK to change doctrine, I mean from what we've seen from the past few years doesn't inspire faith, not compared to TN and how they're making strides in updating their capabilities. I do understand that if TSK has deemed their current vehicles sufficient to beat back any enemy from our neighborhood, then that's it, but I am not sure if they manage to send the message over the border as well.

I mean the Land forces (KKK)
