Turkish MRAP are late

Four years ago, the Turkish army ordered 468 locally developed and manufactured by MRAP Kirpis (with enhanced mine protection). All of them should have been delivered last year, but 175 machines have not yet arrived. The Turkish National Police are also awaiting Kirpis shipments. The manufacturer of these machines, BMC, is experiencing financial and managerial difficulties, and the Turkish government, and in turn, told BMC that if deliveries are not completed soon, the order for the undelivered equipment will be canceled and transferred to another Turkish company (for example, Otokar ) or even a foreign supplier (for example, MRAP offers very cheap used American cars).

Kirpis is an 16-ton armored truck with a wheel formula 4x4 that looks very similar to a MRAP made in a number of other western countries. Kirpis has a tower, a crew of three, and can carry ten fighters or a ton of cargo. Turkey is trying to buy as much local military equipment as possible. Kirpis passed all its tests, and the army believed that it had made a great deal. Despite possible difficulties in canceling orders for MRAP from a Turkish company, the army would like to receive these MRAPs in case of failure of the current peace talks with Kurdish rebels.

Why should the Turks have outlandish bronics, let them buy our KAMAZs from us at the expense of savings in Syria, they will not regret it. All Kurds will run away in fear.

[Ivan Tarasov]

Kurds should not be touched.
If Turkey resolves the Kurdish issue, then its geopolitical ambitiousness will grow even more.
And she is already high, look, where are the fighters trained for the war with Syria?
So, let the Kurds hang over the Turks with the sword of Damocles, and we will put our "Typhoons" better than Syria.

[UFO]

Then let the Kurds buy it.

Turkey did not independently develop more than one MPAP armored vehicle. Everything was purchased from South Africa or provided by Amers. But MPAP production is carried out at Turkish enterprises, with 100% components, of local production.
Russia urgently needs the issue of MDI in 13 hundreds of pieces in the North Caucasus.

Why a pensioner dies, it’s better to go abroad. Moreover, the current generation of old people don’t put anything at all, went mad yesterday, drove an old woman into the subway, and no young one got up, as a result, the tariff for her age was inferior to her.

[Ivan Tarasov]

Then there may not be pensions at all, as well as countries.
Is it not clear that Syria is now fighting for Russia?

[ayyildiz]

We are already buying energy from 25 a year from you, so buy from us the more you have Typhoon until you have entered the series

[Ivan Tarasov]

Our Typhoon looks more impressive.

Given the Kurdish issue and the influence of Iran and Syria on it, Turkey has no choice but to take measures to minimize possible damage from terrorist attacks and attacks on its posts and military units. However, as it was indicated 2 years ago in one of the Western publications, “Turkey would need to create a large network of powerful checkpoints, similar to the Russian ones in the Chechen war, in order to keep the Kurdish regions under subordination and control. real contact between Kurdish rebels and Turkish forces, Turkey could try to reduce the likelihood of its losses in the future.
It should also be noted that MCI is effective, primarily in open desert areas, plains, but in the mountains, impact can be expected not from below, but from the flanks or rear, however armor of such vehicles from different angles will not be able to protect the crew from portable heavy weapons. Even the same RPG-7s will be able to bring the machine-MPAP into an unfit state.

Let them buy our "Gazelles" and that's all))

... locally designed and manufactured

Translated into Russian - "domestic production". The Turkish defense industry is developing rapidly and the Navy is not the only developer and manufacturer of such equipment. OTOKAR confirmed its readiness to deliver the missing number of similar machines by the end of this year, which it continued to develop despite the fact that initially in 2009. the customer chose Kirpi ("Hedgehog").

[Yarbay]

You are absolutely right!
I understand that 300 cars are in the army!
I don’t think that a big problem for Turkey!

[ayyildiz]

Within a month, production will begin for a new one, Kirpie has already proved himself in military operations, and not a single dead

Pointless infa, out of 486 311 were delivered, more than half of the deliveries were completed and another local company is ready to deliver everything else on time. And the title of the article is such a feeling that the deadlines have passed a long time and now such a universal bummer.

[ayyildiz]

The components have long been ready for all machines. The workers' strike was on and everyone was late for it!
