TR Land Vehicle Programs

Do we have any projects for armored recovery vehicles, or bridge layers based on Altay hull?

 

[Pokemonte13]

not yet but we need to have altay first in larger number to even try it.
But knowing BMC they will be too incompetent to do it.

ASELSAN Integrates SARP 100/35 IFV Turret on a Flatbed | TURDEF

SARP 100/35 (KORHAN) 35 mm IFV turret for the YNHZA armoured vehicle programme was spotted on a large flatbed platform at the Gölbaşı facility of ASELSAN.

Here is something very odd, SARP 100/35 aka KORHAN is on a flatbed platform, idk if it is a truck or a trailer, interesting regardless

I swear Aselsan is doing this just to say "We can put this turret anywhere we want!" because this is what, 3rd or 4th different vehicle now?

 

[Kaan Azman]

Sure, it was put on three AFVs but this is kinda a different matter, operationally. This probably means the Army wants an interim solution until they finish KORKUT 100/35 SB

 

[Pokemonte13]

not sure if this is a real vehicle or just a trailer to test the turret.

 

[Kaan Azman]

this can go two ways considering the current projects and how would you test a turret as in the news, but I would give probability more than the usual for the interim solution part since we know the interest in truck/trailer mounted 35 mm weapons. Of course, KORKUT 100/35 SB is the peak of this idea with a whole sensor suite and self-detachment feature.

Seeing Korhan and not Korkut on flatbed makes me think that this must be a test system and not a product. But, Aselsan indeed put these things on everything so let's see.

That’s what I said.

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.

After 7 years, first 8x8 IFV(equipped with 25mm Nefer turret) of the gendarme was finally delivered. 4 more will follow. Ironically, gendarme is now the first service in Turkey to incur a 8x8 IFV into service. Which is not very surprising, as they were testing Arma 8x8 a whole decade ago. They were also the first user of S70 Blackhawk before army or air force.
