Azerbaijan interested in Turkey’s Firtina Self-Propelled Howitzer

[ASQ-1918]

Guys;

“The engine and transmission problems of the artillery system have been solved and the alternative company was found”.

So hopefully the issue is already solved.

What was the problem? If i may, the Firtina is a nice looking machine.

Though Azerbaijan and Turkey reached an agreement on purchase and sale of Firtina self-propelled howitzer, according to the reports there are some technical problems in the project. Germany’s MTU company, which is providing Firtina with engine, refused to provide with engine the self-propelled howitzer that will be sold to Azerbaijan. Yonca-Onuk company, which is going to sell boats to Azerbaijan, has faced similar problem.

“As a brotherly country we have assumed the solution of this problem,” Bayar said.

Most probably, Ukrainian origin engines will be applied for Firtina's exported to Azerbaijan...

A nice scene from Firing of Firtina...

So who's engine will we use instead and will we use that engine for our own Firtinas too (and not just for the Azeris) or will we keep MTU as the engine supplier?

Most probably, our Fırtına's will keep their German engines.
