very nice, looks like a version of leopard tanks, it is nice to see turkey developing now thier own industry and building tanks locally, mashallah
 
Is that a fake turret or a real one?

It's only prototype there will be 4 prototype, there hasn't been any firing and armour tests yet only movement and maneuvers so it's not Final tank because final tank will be serial produced in 2015 or 2016. In pictures we can see difference between prototype 1 and 2.

They could have went for an auto loader .
 
They could have went for an auto loader .

they never went for an autoloader on purpose these have been long thought but autoloader has problems and i heard not reliable , there was an interview saying why they never went for one , but abrams and many tanks dont have an autolaoder still i think leopard hasnt got auto loader aswell
 
so that is a real turret....impressive

can't wait to see its firing :woot:

trust me there will be quite some differences between final tank because this is still prototype 2 for every problem they find they will improve it just example on first pictures given to public look at side
