Turkish built 76/62 mm gun, preparing to start firing tests soon.
Turkey was purchasing this gun from Leonardo for 8.2 million dollars. Due to embargoes implemented by EU countries it was decided to indigenously produce the same gun. Turkish project will be completed for approximately 4.7 million dollars.
Now Leonardo is offering the same gun for 5.1 million dollars including the training package and ammo.
Turkish gun. In it’s current form, is almost as good as the compact Oto Melara gun. But nowhere near as quick as the Super-Rapid version. The guided ammo with extended range that Oto Melara uses is another story. But these are development stages that will come in time.
The same story had occurred with JDAM production. When we couldn’t get enough quantities that we needed at 90+ thousand dollars each, we had started to produce our own HGK version at a cost of 27 thousand dollars. Following a successful firing, US came back and offered it to us for 25 thousand.
