Turkey has completed testing the domestic tank Altay

53
In Turkey, from the third of June to the tenth of July, tests of the first domestic tank Altay, Sabah reported on Monday.

As a result of successful testing, it was found that the tank fully meets the specified requirements and is ready for mass production.

The agreement on the creation of the Altay tank was signed in March 2007 between the Defense Industry Secretariat (SSM) of the Ministry of Defense of Turkey and the Turkish company Otokar.

After testing, it is expected to receive an order for serial production of the first batch in the amount of 250 units. The expected cost of one tank will be 5,5 million dollars, the cost of the development project is 500 million dollars.

In recent years, the Turkish defense industry has focused on the development and production of its own products. Turkey managed to achieve self-sufficiency in the defense industry in 54 percent.

      Given that we have an order of magnitude more experience in tank building, as well as some of the most advanced technologies in this area, yes. With a high degree of probability Armata will discard this tank in the last century with its appearance.

      But in general, the question is not correct because Armata is a secret project and asking a question that cannot be answered is stupid.

        You say that this is a secret project and claim that it will be better and the Altai tank in comparison with the rebar of the last century - this is stupid (how do you know). Armata tank is not a fiction? Maybe this project will die out as a "black eagle" project? After all, we cannot know until we see with our own eyes. But we can ask questions and get the expected answers !!!

          Shark already partially answered your question:
          Our existing machines do not concede., And in many ways surpass Altai.


          Those. the so-called "Altai" is already a little late, because it will not be operated for 10 or 15 years. Ours, given the sufficient workload of UralVagonZavod, have retained both personnel and potential. If you have doubts that Russia is able to develop and assemble Armata, then this means that someone has a serious problem with an objective assessment of what is happening, as well as the potential of the enterprise based on the available data.

        By the way, when communicating with the Turks, I noted an interesting detail: some words are very similar to Russian or Old Russian. For example, "dede" - grandfather, "baba" - dad / father, "kurt" (wolf) - hort (Old Church Slavonic), "chorba" (Turkish soup) is consonant with the old village Siberian "serbat" (noisily sipping soup from a spoon) :) Well, in terms of some individual features of the mentality, there are also similarities

        Altai is sort of like "high taiga" translated. As for the opinion of the Turks about our rights to the Altai proper, it can be directed to the same place as the opinion of the Japanese about the Kuril Islands.
        By the way, looking at the local population of the Antalya and Alanian coasts, combined with the ancient ruins in the area, I did not lose the feeling that all these people in Anatolia seemed to be by chance and seemed to have no relation to the history of this region. Why such an impression - I don’t know, maybe too contrasted :)

          Yes, no one talks about the accession of Altai. Yes, everyone knows that this is the Turkic land within Russia, like many others. Collectives from Tatarstan, Altai and other Turkic regions of Russia always participate in all cultural events of independent Turkic states, some even there are individual representatives of their subjects in the Turkic states. Tatarstan has an official representative of Tatarstan in Baku. So, well, these lands are part of Russia, but Russia does not interfere with the communication of the Turks among themselves, which is good and smart.

It confuses not only the lack of side screens, but also the insecurity of the MV observation devices. I understand everything can be installed, but then the mass will increase, and this is completely different dynamo. characteristics and resource of transmission and suspension units.

      65 tons approximately. The gun is inferior, absolutely like the shovel with which the T-90 is armed. There is no dynamic armor even on Merkava. Active defense decides. A huge tower, a distinctive feature of all Western tanks, this does not stop them from resisting the tanks of the Soviet school.

    The Turks gained a good pace in the economy over the 20 years the USSR was falling apart. I look and go to the defense industry for self-sufficiency and arms exports, soon traditional players in the arms market will have a worthy rival, and for those who want to ridicule this business, see what the Turks did 15 -20 years ago and current products, progress is on the face and it is very significant.

    Well done. 54% of self-sufficiency deserves respect.
    And for those who cannot understand why Altai, learn the history of the Turks and understand.
    This is the same if the Greeks called their tank Constantinople. And the Turks would be indignant. Altai is the ancestral home of the Turks and this name is in the course, there are many people in the Turkic countries with that name. Or will we force all the Turks to change their names?

    Not really, except in size. For comparison, not a small leo2a4 and early Altai: Where much more? It will be difficult only for a disabled person not to get into such a fool, and disguising him is problematic. Unless the Turks plan to use it as Jews and Americans, for corral and shooting of the Papuans, in the sense of chasing the Kurds. But then what kind of incentives can they have on the foreign market? Who needs such a mountain for 6-7 million? Regarding the MKEK120 and 2A46M guns, we can say that the first is an incomplete Rh120-based craft, and the second, tested in battles and can fire missile-projectiles (srach was already here
    http://topwar.ru/13071-sravnenie-altay-leopard-2a-t-90.html
    ) And again, the safe maneuvering angles of this giant will be extremely small in view of the weakened lateral zones of the huge tower, the gap between the hull and the tower will be a weak spot, the frontal projection without KAZ will be weakened ... There is still a lot of work, because In the market, a raw solution will fail.

    And what do we answer - armature? TTX armata will exceed this tank?


    Given that we have an order of magnitude more experience in tank building, as well as some of the most advanced technologies in this area, yes. With a high degree of probability Armata will discard this tank in the last century with its appearance.

    But in general, the question is not correct because Armata is a secret project and asking a question that cannot be answered is stupid.

    well for this tank and t-72 for the eyes is enough

    So the Turks will be drawn away from the Americans, the United States will begin to sag, there is a real chance of becoming the first in the arms trade. Need to help.

    It’s not the tanks that fight - but the crews. So the old -72-two deuces with normal soldiers inside are chasing the whole folded international rabble in the tail and mane in Syria. Including domestic supermen from Chechnya and the outskirts.
    So the Turks need about fifty years to design and assemble military equipment.
    First let this Altai fight at least with the Zulus.
    and then we'll see.

      Once again, it proves that it costs Israel, the United States or NATO to begin a military operation against Assad, how it will be rolled out in a couple of hours, because illiterate aborigines with AK and Slingshots transporting 400 tanks of the regular army each, this is too much, this already says first of all that The Syrian army is not able to confront a serious enemy.

      By the way, boys are fighting.

        Yeah, hellish rambo wassat
        Brave for women’s skirts, which is generally a characteristic feature of any partisan movement. For the regulars, the local population definitely fetters the action. The Amer found a simple way against this - a woman or a man is not visible from a height and conscience does not torment, herachat wherever he pleases in "name (insert the desired word)".
