An additional 38.5 Million Euro Contract has been awarded to MPG for more M4K Vehicles.
57 Million for 29 Vehicles in the first batch, 10 Million for another 5 Vehicles in the second batch and now 38.5 Million for the third batch(25 Vehicles most likely)

2 Million USD per truck.. It is way too much, truck is a regular armored tatra..(Converting old tanks to recovery vehicle would be cheaper) but I think this deal includes R&D budget but why the last batch is more expensive? (€2.4 mil)

Since Tulpar and Kaplan MT were introduced I am expecting Aselsan to develop a turret like Cockerill 105mm.. still no news.. 105mm unmanned Turret is needed for 8x8s and Heavy IFVs.. 8x8 are coming soon but with small arms..

There is no chance but export for TULPAR
They could have copied 105 mm turret at least. With laser guided 105 mm ammunition it would be real beast.

Better to be with a low-pressure 120 mm smooth-boreThere is no chance but export for TULPAR

Seriously the tulpar is one awesome looking IFV.
I hope it gets adopted by the Turkish Army.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attends the Energetic Materials Production Facility Opening Event and Product Launch at MKEK Barutsan Rocket and Explosive Factory.
The MEMATT tool developed by ASFAT in cooperation with the private enterprise is seen in the event area.
Beginning to modernize the M113s in the inventory, MKEK has integrated the electric motor and battery pack into the vehicle. It was stated that the 25 mm weapon system to be integrated into the tower of the platform can be seen at IDEF.
It was stated that that MKE has a capacity of 50 motors per month for the platform.
Erdogan said, "I wish the new generation electric hybrid system armored combat vehicles and Boran 105 portable Howitzers with the explosive facility we opened will be beneficial to our country, our defense industry and our TSK." said
MKE YAVUZ.....

MKE YAVUZ
> From Todays Ceremony. The Platform is still 6x6
(c)BarbarosToprakoglu
-> The same Chassis has been present ad IDEF19
- > A Source working in the Defence Industry has claimed that Land Forces Command has demanded a 8x8 Platform and auto reload
- > This claim has been partially confirmed by this Article I found from 2019
www.edrmagazine.eu
"Two years ago a competition was going on between the MKEK–Yol-Bak team and that formed by the General Arsenal Direction with Aselsan. According to MKEK sources the two programmes have now been merged into the Yavuz, negotiations with the national customer being underway. These include some possible further developments, such as an automatic system to carry ammunition and charges from the reloading truck to the Yavuz, as well as an automatic loading system for firing; the current semi-automatic loading system ensures a three-round burst in 15 seconds, four to six rounds per minute at the maximum firing rate, and two rounds per minute in continuous fire. According to MKEK the automatic loader would add only 200 kg to the system."
- > That would result in a heavier overall platform and perhaps unavailable to transport in the C130 transport planes.
There are two suitable platforms for the 8x8 Configuration
- Anadolu Savunma Seyit (TATRA licensed) is the likely one.
looking very similar to the DENEL T5-52 (Auto reload)
- BMC 525-44 unlikely
=> The Wheeled Howitzer is a cheaper solution than a tracked Firtina Howitzer but has similar specifications.
an absolute no brainer regardless of which chassis is going to be used.
