I can't think of any practical use, for turkish terrain. Care to explain why it would be a good idea ?

It's a tank in the end... All our borders are threat and we should be so quick for reply... So these tanks can be deployed so quick...

I dont know maybe some can elaborate more but i think a light tank can be quite useful in mountainous areas such as SE Turkey where a 65 tonnes monster as Altay cant reach.

But in that case, a 40mm or 25mm cannon should suffice, because in mountainous area, you have problem with firing angles, and for that we have 6x6, 8x8 's no ?

Which would be a job for Tulpar i guess.

Medium tank is good if you need to deploy units quickly in far away places. These could also be used by the marines for beach landings. Right now the ancient m48's are being used for that. You dont need to have many of these medium tanks.

Indeed and so far I am aware of, we aren't planning on invading any territories at our current general situation, however to have the capability to produce something like that is great, but I would love to see turkish defense companies build something simlar to this PL-01 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Foreign Turkish Borders

Turkey is not the only territory where you can use this lightweight tank if I reminds turkish expansions curs.

No matter what, better than your old M48 or M60 on Syrian border.
