Zimbabwe's Ambassador to Turkey Mutiwazuk:
"One of the issues I talk to with defense industry officials is military relations. I talked to three companies. They are interested in armored vehicle, UAV and tank business."

AA: What are some areas Zimbabwe looks to cooperate in with Turkey, especially with a bilateral trade volume that reached $17.7 million in 2019?

AM: As I told you earlier, one of major sanctions from the EU is arms embargo on Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a former British colony, so all our products, military equipment were imported from the UK. So, when they put sanctions on Zimbabwe, that was the end. Due to sanctions, you can't get spare parts, can't fly the aircraft, can't drive the vehicle.

But, of course, the government managed to do one or two things, keeping the military activities in operation. This is one area which I have been religiously talking to my colleagues here from the defense industry. There are three companies I have talked to. They are into business of vehicles, armored vehicles, drones and tanks. Some of them are going to Zimbabwe as soon as possible to talk to their Zimbabwean counterparts.

We found an opening in Turkey because of the products... I am happy about it because we are not bound by the EU sanctions on Zimbabwe, we are able to do business in that respect. As a result, our counterparts said yes they can go to Zimbabwe and look at what we have and maybe modernize our whole military equipment which I found very interesting... They were supposed to move to Zimbabwe last month but because of COVID-19, there were some changes. But I am hoping that in the next two months they will be able to go and meet the relevant technical people and see how we can move on.

In terms of volume of trade, it is not very exciting. I think the latest figure I got was like $20 million which is just a figure in terms of what we can do. His Excellency Erdogan challenged me when I met him. He said ambassador now that you are here you have work to do, when you leave this country I want you to hit $100 million volume of trade between both countries. I said, His Excellency, I'll do it and he told me how to do it. He said from now on ensure to work with the chamber of commerce, Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEIK) and also with the business councils.

Very interesting solution! I have the feel that it can be applied to bigger shields also. Our Gendarmerie is really looking into a revolutionary approaches. We have backpack belt feed machine guns, new generation grenade pouches and now this in their inventory. If these solutions prove to be good enough our other SOF and Commando units should also consider these solutions.

According to the information obtained by the AA reporter, Otokar continues its studies on the armored tracked vehicle Tulpar, which stands out with its high firepower and modular structure, and the amphibious armored tracked vehicle Tulpar-S.

Otokar General Manager Serdar Görgüç gave information to the AA reporter about the company's efforts for the Tulpar armored tracked vehicle, which stands out with its high firepower and modular structure, and the amphibious armored tracked vehicle Tulpar-S.

Stating that Tulpar was designed in line with the needs of today's infantry and commando units, Görgüç said that the vehicle was developed in line with the users' need to use a single platform for different missions.

Görgüç stated that this way, light tank, armored combat vehicle, armored personnel carrier, reconnaissance vehicle, command control vehicle, air defense vehicle, ambulance, maintenance and rescue vehicle, mortar vehicle, engine vehicle and other derivative vehicle configurations can be put into use.

Expressing that Tulpar's tests were completed in the harshest climatic conditions and heavy terrain conditions and the vehicle was qualified, Görgüç said:

"The performance of Tulpar, developed to meet the needs of different countries in global markets, and the feedback from potential users are very satisfying. Our Tulpar armored combat vehicle successfully completed the firing tests in Şereflikoçhisar in August last year. Tulpar is capable of meeting the needs of different countries in terms of both technical skills and cost. Tulpar is ready for mass production, and we follow the current needs and purchases in the world. "

Görgüç pointed out that the Tulpar-S, an amphibious armored tracked vehicle, as a common platform, has a design that allows different configurations such as armored combat vehicle, armored personnel carrier, maintenance and rescue vehicle, command and control vehicle, ambulance, reconnaissance vehicle. "The modular design approach enables the use of common body structure and common subsystems for different configurations. We follow the current needs and purchases in the world for this vehicle." said.

"Ideal for a medium tank"

Serdar Görgüç also gave information about the medium-class tank solution they developed with the Tulpar platform.

Stressing that Tulpar is also an ideal platform for a medium-class tank, Görgüç said, "In this sense, Tulpar's performance in tests and the feedback from potential users are very satisfactory. We continue our work. As you know, vehicle demands in the field of defense industry and the accompanying purchasing processes can take long periods. We hope that there will be positive developments in terms of exports in the coming period. he spoke.

Hurkus C -> armed -> military use -> most probably engine embargo from Canada -> another Atak story

Hurkus C -> armed -> military use -> most probably engine embargo from Canada -> another Atak story

I hope it’s with domestic engine. That’s why I don’t give a rats arse that ee manage to do different things as long as we’re depending on foreign supply on crucial parts.

I want 100+ hurkus with domestic engine and likewise or more for hurjet. Tfx can wait for all I care.

This is coming just after BAF chief returning from Turkey. BAF is looking for total 24 basic trainers. Unconfirmed report says we are buying 12 Grob G-120TPs for training pilots on side-by-side cockpit (C-130, An-32, L-410). So to replace old PT-6, remaining 12 trainer could be HÜRKUŞ-C. Isn't Tunisia buying AT-6C from US?
