It cant relate to armor since marks are on fenders over trucks too. Maybe some kind of marks for tests.
I wanted to believe that it was somehow related with the new boron-carbide armor.
It started to look like something, thx for sharing.
Turkish products arent as cheap as you think, T-129 is quite expensive for exsample.
I meant compare to US and EUropean price.. for example, one Puma IFV cost 10 million euro for Germany, but one Turkish Altay Tank is estimated to cost 5.5 million Euro, imagine the difference between Leo 2A7 and ALtay Tank..It started to look like something, thx for sharing.
