TR Land Vehicle Programs

Tuna engined Vurans have been delivered since 2023 in batches. News is that first Kirpis with the same engine were delivered this week.

 

[Saithan]

Was there any video of Kirpis performance with Tuna engine ?

Any info about Kirpi vs Vuran difference , to me looks same MRAP from same company with same size and same stanag 3 protection so why 2 vihacles with 2 different names ?

Kirpi bigger than Vuran, it can carry 9 people while Kirpi can carry 13.

Görgün, who also provided information about the Defense Industry Agency's activities for 2025, stated the following:

"Our good news and expectation regarding land vehicles is that, by the very end of the second half of this year, our main battle tank will be out of serial production and delivered to our heroic army. This will be an important development. Additionally, our kamikaze projects, the completion of the M60 tank deliveries with at least two units per month, and the delivery of armored amphibious assault vehicles will take place.

Furthermore, the contracts for our next-generation 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles will be signed, the configurations and qualifications for special-purpose technical wheeled armored vehicles (ÖMTTZA) in 5 different variants will be completed, and the delivery of vehicles under the GZPT and ZMA modernization programs will be part of our activities related to land vehicles in 2025."

Yerli motorlu zırhlı araçlar ordunun hizmetinde: 100 tanesi TSK ve jandarmaya katıldı!

Haber 7 - Cumhurbaşkanlığı Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı koordinasyonunda, BMC'deki Türk mühendisler tarafından tasarlanan yerli motorlu 100 taktik tekerlekli zırhlı araç, Kara Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı ve Jandarma Genel Komutanlığına teslim edildi.

I am on my fucking knees right now. Finally.

Adding to this. Looks like Korhan-35 has been renamed SARP 100/35 and is being depicted on an what looks to me like Pars Alpha vehicle on Aselsans site...

We also have Gürz on what again looks to me like an Pars Alpha Vehicle

This of course does not have to mean something but interesting that they have chosen this vehicle instead of their generic 8x8 APC they usually use.

Aselsan seems to have added also a new(?) turret to its collection which SUPRISE is actually equipped with an ATGM launcher named SARP 200/30:

Oh and I think we have a better look at KAMA?

 

[Huelague]

I expect some mechanical engineering miracles, not just add ons, to let the turrent look bulky.

Those Aselsan samples are more or less the same ones FNSS had on their Pars Alpha brochure

Interesting news. Spanish Indra and Otokar signed a deal to collaborate on land systems. Wonder what'll come out of it.

I'm looking at their website and they seem like they are mostly focused on radars, mission systems and communication systems, electronics and so on. I'm really curious now as well, this looks weird on paper. They are working on EF and A400M as well, mostly dealing with simulators and survivability.

That Matsimus guy is invited by FNSS to review TEBER II turret.

FNSS GM Nail Kurt says contracts will be signed soon on YN-ZMA tender.

He adds it was late because of engine problem and deliveries will start this year.

Deleted newspage on Defenceturk but still available on TRT:

Zırhlı araçlar için yeni müjdeler yolda

Türk savunma sanayiinin en önemli ihracat kalemlerinden biri de zırhlı araçlar… Ülkemizin bu alanda dünyanın her ülkesinde fiyat ve kalite açısından başa güreşebileceğini anlatan FNSS Genel Müdürü Nail Kurt hem yurt içi hem de yurt dışında yeni adımlar atılabileceğini söyledi.

He means the ÖMTTZA program here, not YNZMA. ÖMTTZA is now 3 years behind schedule. Görgün also said last month that deliveries for ÖMTTZA would start in 2025. Unclear which engine will be used.

ÖMTTZA(100 vehicles. 95 sensor, radar, CBRN and command vehicles, 5 IFVs for gendarme) was signed in Dec 2019 and had a project length of 36 months. All deliveries were to be completed from 24th to 36th months. At this point, no deliveries have been made and program is 2 years behind the schedule. Boys in the army are still using M113s for these roles and gendarme still don't have their IFVs.

Tümosan was to deliver the engines for these vehicles. As we haven't heard anything from their development in years, I think Tümosan engines are left behind and they will probably use BMC's Azra if and when it becomes ready. What a sham. For this exact point, unless deliveries are complete, we can never, evet trust a procurement to go through. Another lesson in bad project management.

I see. I didn't know there was such a tender so I didn't pay attention to "Özel Maksatlı".

Would this mean YN-ZMA is also ready for delivery after signs ? I mean they'll use the same engines right ?
