35mm AP round development signed. Knew MKE didn't produce any in house. We didn't have anything that can be used on ground vehicles except ATOM and older HEI-T for Oerlikons. That will now change for future AFVs.

Just thinking loud out, instead of pouring plenty of money into dumb R&D projects, why wouldn't MKE do the R&D for obviously necessary items?

I imagine it's because MKE is a production facility and not a R&D institution. It's so ingrained in it's DNA that it is impossible to change it. Just like how Sümer holding disappeared something like ASSAN should have devoured MKE and morph into something better.

Why we didn't try to develop such system using Firtina turret on a truck?
We tried to sell T-155 couldn't because of engine issue. This would be solving some problems.
Azerbaijan bought both DANA and DITA from Czech Republic, Nora from Serbia.

Because of MKE... Although it has accelerated some work since becoming a joint-stock company (A.Ş.), it still hasn't achieved the desired performance. The wheeled howitzer issue hasn't been resolved for several years.
