Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[madmusti]

It doesn't matter if it is true or not. The fact is, Turkey has done an incredible job in defense industry and introduced dozens of state of art systems one after another in the past few years. Quality of the Turkish products are now globally known and thanks to countless markets at our disposal, eventually, defence sales of Turkey will boom at some point.

Actually is this the best Proof of the Quality

After 6000 hours of hard trials, these kind of damages is normal...I would wait much more .

MoA is not a contract! Let's wait and see. Maybe they (Arabian) choose our one (Leo 2A6).

Your govt has almost refused the sale of 800 Leopard-2A7s to Saudi arabia. Now it will be Altay.

I think it was 200 Leo 2A6. Let's wait and see, which one Arabian choose.

I am sure that the order was 800 Leo2A7's. Your govt has refused the sale,that is why its now being replaced by Altay.

Yes! It's exactly 800 Leopard 2A7+. Not Leopard 2A6.
