I really don't like the idea of putting ammo in the hull for the sake of crew survivability after penetration and salvagebility of the tank. All fielded MBT's suffer from this except for the Abrams. An Abrams like ammo load-out and compartimentalization is the safest option out there but it looks like the European and eastern tank design are favored in the rest of the world, including Turkey. The Turks learned the hard way in Syria and most probably had to re-design the Altay completely. The first tranche will be conventional but later tranches will most probably be a different design all together, at least seperating the crew from the ammo completely a la T-14.
Altay t-3 will be like T-14.
What do you think about possible İtalian upgraded version of Fiat powered Altay T1 or T3 for behalf of ariete c2 ?
İtalia cannot be loose a huge money for using design a new tank ?
