The aim is to overcome Germany's engine embargo on the ALTAY Tank with South Korea. In this direction, South Korea will deliver 85 power groups to Turkey in the first stage.

Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler stated that the work on the "Altay Tank" continues and that a total of 250 tanks will be produced within the scope of the project. Stating that the power group will be supplied from South Korea until the domestic engine is produced, Güler said, “South Korea gives us 85 units. “165 of them will be done with the local power group.” he said.

With the ceremony held on April 23, 2023, the first 2 New ALTAY Tanks were delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces to be used in qualification tests. With the 2 New ALTAYs delivered, field tests will be carried out under very challenging conditions, which are planned to last 1.5 to 2 years. If the tests are positive, mass production of New ALTAY is planned to start in 2025.

On the other hand, the development activities of the national power group for ALTAY continue. The 1500 horsepower power group, which is planned to be put into operation in 2027, is currently continuing its tests both on the ground and on an ALTAY Tank.

 
Thanks to jedigman for uploading this latest video from SSM

2012... It's like yesterday.

Watching these old videos fills me with anger and disgust for where we have come. It was too pure to become a reality in this corrupt shithole.
