Ok, the situation of the Altay tank is beyond ridiculous at this point. We managed to design the tank without delays, create prototypes without delay and get it approved by the TSK, again, without delay.
The easiest part (for Turkey), the actual production of the tank though is seeing incredibly huge delays. The reasons isn't that we don't have the capability to produce this machine - we know that Turkey can manage this in government controlled factories as well as private sector ones.
No, the only goddamn reason we still don't have the Altay is that a blood sucker wants to get paid. Not only was the tender delayed multiple times to accommodate his company getting ready (a company that he didn't build btw, it got handed to him on a silver platter) now we're waiting for him to actually build factories to get going.
And it turns out he can't even do that. Imagine the scenario for a second, we gave this man a company out of the blue, then gave him the biggest tender Turkey's defense sector has ever seen, then gave him special treatment so he can get ready to build a tank. This company shouldn't even have been allowed to run in this tender - but no, it was cancelled multiple times so he could have it.
Now that he has failed every damn step, we decided to give him government factories (that were running perfectly fine) so he can build the damn thing.
It's been months since that - still SILENCE.
When is it going to be enough? I mean let's just have OTOKAR and FNSS build the tank and just outright pay mr Sancak instead and be done with it all?!
