No. That's an Arma with a Chinese turret on top with an other name written on top. Otokar will give every single expertise to build them in house if they finally win it, they don't have any. Otokar is happy to do business and doesn't care what do they call Arma in countries they sell, doesn't mean we have to follow the same line of thinking.
Up to 300 Koluman PTAs(Personnel Transport Vehicle) are already delivered to army.
Is it going to actually be used for personal transport, or is that just a classification name sort of thing?
Not all vehicles need to be armored; each vehicle has a different area of use. A Unimog vehicle might go its entire service life without ever seeing combat. It’s a very suitable vehicle for everyday tasks within a military base. It's ideal for duties such as transporting rations, logistics, military supplies, camp setup and shelter, cleaning, training, and exercises. What kind of armored vehicle could even perform these tasks?
Trucks procured from Anadolu Savunma, Mercedes (Koluman), BMC, and other companies serve various military purposes. Anadolu Savunma and Mercedes provide vehicles for transporting systems like the Unimog (personnel carrier), ASELSAN’s radar systems, SİPER, TAYFUN, and HİSAR-O. BMC supplies tank transporters, water tankers, refueling tankers, and 5-10 ton trucks. Each vehicle has a specific role.
Several companies who produce top tier MRAPS and our Land Forces goes and busye unarmored Unimogs. While the Air Force and Navy are clearly thinking a head and actually plan and procure acc to the year we are in our Land Forces Command is clearly stuck in the 80s and 90s. This is slowly becoming a joke.
They sold the unimogs in the inventory and now buying more?
Why were the Unimogs in the inventory sold?
Those were gendarme unimogs, some pretty old.
Forcing KKK to use gendarme handouts would be a taller order than forcing them to use light tanks so I'm mostly okay with this. Refreshing the most overused trucks is not a bad idea.
