Arma 6x6 in an unknown Arab country

[Inspector Spacetime]

Guys,
BMC isn't a contender in any (8x8 OR 6x6) OR (APC OR IFV) tender(s). They only produce tactical wheeled vehicles and MRAPs.

={HEMA Industries AND Otokar AND FNSS} are competing in this field and Otokar is most likely to win. It's partly because Otokar has %100 Turkish share and partly because FNSS already made some good profit out of Pars' export success' and partly because HEMA sucks a little

I think Arma as well as Pars are good choices. I think I personally would like to see Arma win though.

The Hema one is an under license built Finnish Patria right, or is it an original design?

Normally I don't take sides but I'm pro Otokar here, their design is not just indigenous and unique it's also pretty kickass

Hema has Patria's licence, they also have an indigenous design but they haven't built any prototypes or run any tests i guess. I've only seen the design. It's pretty much on blueprint stage so they'll probably offer Patria.

Hema has only License and Otokar and FNSS his Own Product.

The Only 100 % Turkish Company is maybe Otokar !

BMC is not 100 % Really Turkish ... !!!

They have choose them to not give Otokar so much Power.

1-BMC is %100 Turkish
2-Intellectual Property rights of designs belongs to BMC
3-336 tactical vehicle tender cancelled cause of changing requirements of Turkish Army. It is expected to be opened same tender with much bigger requirements.
4-BMC doesn't have 8x8 or 6x6 solutions but a huge armed (similar protection capability with Kirpi MRAP) Vuran.
5-Hema has licence but The winner most probably one of the Otokar and FNSS.
6-After economic failure of BMC and Otosan's unwilling behviors despite SSM visited them, The chance of Hema to get the winner for National powerpack and transmission family is really high..

After looking at some more pictures of the Otokar Arma, I am not sure if I like the windows on the side of the LAV and the back door doesn't seem to be automated.

The Pars backdoor, not sure if it is automated, but it does give me the impression it is automated and it doesn't have windows on the side.

Not sure if having windows on the side is a good thing or a bad thing for modern combat situations, but looking at the LAV III and Stryker, they don't seem to have windows on the side either.

The Arma should have NBC protection, not sure if the Pars has NBC protection also.

I don't know, looking at the companies, I want to see Otokar win (because of the percentage of shares thing), but looking at the LAV I think the FNSS Pars might be better. I'm sure this has been discussed before on this forum, but I'm new here so I missed any such discussions.

Turkey will Choose FNSS Pars i Think.

Why ? Because the 49 % of FNSS Pars are this :

But we will see this in the Future

%49 of FNSS don't belong British BAE but American Branch of BAE international therefore i am hoping someday soon FNSS will bring this baby to our inventory.
