Any program update?

Not really except of the pic from @Combat-Master , im sure @cabatli_53 is hiding something from us.

I have a question I would like to ask, based on the way we see Altay Armour shaping up.

What are your opinions on the armour which surrounds the cannon (mantlet)? Is it not too large?

I too had that question in mind. Thanks for bringing it up.
In the future variants, the whole tank is going to be improved; so that can be improved also.

That also makes the tank seem like a leo a4

I could be nitpicking here, there are some modern MBTs that do have a large mantlet (for quicker cannon change i suppose). But it seems to me like the tank cannon could be disabled if a lucky shot gets in between front armour and mantlet. but like i said, nitpicking

I noticed that too... but usually gun mantlet is much thicker than the rest of the armor...
so it's not a weak spot, it's probably a strong-spot

So I don't think there's a flaw there.... it's probably a good thing

@xxxKULxxx
Not sarp, there will be a small version of STAMP(mini-stamp) on ALTAY

to stay on target during tank movement and turret traverse it's going to be stabilized.

But the gun looks like SARP on ALTAY... You mean it is temporary... Mini-Stamp would be so good for sure...

Sarp is already a mini stamp.. it is the one for land purposes.
