Probably Spike type.

SPIKE-LR It's one of the few types of ATGMs that can fit two abreast, without much size constrainsts

I wonder if KARAOK could be adapted to such designs, would be excellent.

By the way this Picture is from a Reddit post.

Even more interesting is his claim.
He claims that during this Picture his father was driving 120 kph and that BMC 8x8 was likely going between 140 - 150 kph.
That thing is around 30 Tons!

View attachment 26135

(Regular 8x8 have a max. Speed of 100 km/h)

The Engine is the 630 HP AZRA from BMC POWER
If that is the case, then the reward should go to BMC Power
I swear.... iam starting to like BMC Power a lot these days.... it is like they are trying as hard as possible to cover the lack of chronic engine industries that turkey suffers from..... really waiting for the altay tank engine

Now iam hoping that BMC pulls its shit together as well. May the new BMC administration do something useful to it or it would have been a vain to save the company from bankruptcy

I posted when we talked about possible medium tank acquisition for the TSK and the benefits for it. It was in the interview with Mete Yarar.

Probably for both Navy and Land forces.
Time to replace those M48s.

It’s most likely in preparation for Cockoril export ban to Turkey.

Should have had 8-12 Kaplan MT tested during Olive Branch. Would have skyrocketted the export potential.

Even with a different turret if possible.

I think TAF doesn't like Kaplan that much conceptually. Did they even bat an eye when FNSS has leased that?
It had some great export potential but unfortunately the train was missed.
