I definitely respect Otokar/FNSS, especially if you look at where they're coming from. Otokar went from Land Rover Defender-110 chassis based ZPT (and the licensed produced Yavuz) to the Cobra to this. FNSS is 49% BAE owned so perhaps a bit less imaginative with certain products but they still...
Any new things on BMC? I still have doubt everything they do is homegrown, looks to me like they're still using the typical clone/local production of equipment and presenting it as new/yerli yapim aka shit we've had for years. Otokar and even FNSS are way ahead.
Bro's, I have a question about Korkut (SPAAG). Would it be possible to use them in a combined role with mechanized infantry on the go? For example, the convoy's in to Syria used the Zipkin + Atilgan platforms. Could it be possible to add the Korkut?
Same question for the autonomous SAM...
The new vehicle by FNSS might exactly be what we need in order to start replacing all the M113's and the ACV's.
I wonder if Otokars new surprise vehicle is in the same category?
Edit: nvm. Just saw the Tulpar-S picture.
Kirpi present without weapon system and without added jammers like we've seen in the wild. Why not add those in? :/
Hidden vehicles by Otokar are probably Altay, Tulpar and maybe something new, or Arma with added turret + atgm system.
When mechanized units entered Syria this/last year they had Atilgan/Zipkin variants installed on ACV's with them for protection. Definitely an upgrade.
^Exactly.
And most of the Ejders that I saw was near the border with Syria during the influx of Kurdish refugees. Could be perfect for P:OH and the increased risks of EYP's.
They're slowly starting to fix them, but imo it isn't enough yet.
I saw some pictures of the new kalekols, pretty impressive...
Tabi birde insan hayatina deger verilmiyor o ayri.
Roketsan-SAAB AT missile: 3km
Mizrak-TEKHAT: 1km
Could this be a shoulder fired type of missile? TEKHAT screams fire&forget / disposable.
Maybe a mixture between the Carl Gustav (recoilles rifle, not ATGM I know) and the AT-4?
Initial order is 250, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I expect even the inital orders to be broken up in different batches with eventual upgrades.
Lets say the first 50 vehicles are the bare prototypes 1.0 version, the second 50 will have slight alterations making it the 1.1 version etc...
