Otokar Submits Bid for Turkey’s Indigenous Tank

[Zarvan]

ANKARA, Turkey —The Turkish company that designed and produced prototypes for what will become Turkey’s first indigenous new generation battle tank, the Altay, said it submitted a bid to the Ankara government for the tank’s serial production.

Armored vehicles maker Otokar said it submitted its serial production proposal to Turkey’s procurement agency, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM), in January.

Otokar’s bid involves the production of an initial batch of 250 tanks and integrated logistical support for the program.

The company said it completed the production of Altay prototypes, which are now going through system qualification and acceptance tests.

Procurement officials said that the serial production of the Altay would begin in 2017.

SSM is expected this year to announce a bidding for the Altay’s serial production.

Potential bidders are three local armored vehicle makers: Otokar, BMC and FNSS.

Turkish officials have said that a number of countries Turkey views as “allies” are interested in buying the Altay.

They said Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf countries were showing a large interest in the Altay.

No.

Altay is still in development so giving any specs would be irrelevant..
However there are some features that are set in stone, see link

Lots of Israelis on this forum do not take my avatar seriously. I don't take it seriously. I changed it during the height of previous Gaza war.

However, you are the first one to bring up my avatar and pass judgments on my character based on one stupid picture (again, even ISRAELIS THEMSELVES haven't done this on here).

Stop being a inferiority-complex stricken western wanna be ultra secular warrior for enlightenment. People like you embarrass yourself and your country as well.

I asked a simple question and you should have answered simply on technical basis---rather than bringing your own shitty value judgments in the picture.

Grow up and stop making random judgments based on corky pictures.

It'd be great if you respect Turkey more than Israel as a starter. lol

There is a Thread about that tank. Maybe you can find all the answers there.

I regularly follow that thread. Since this news was about serial production--I thought that the 'final' version of Altay has been finalized. Therefore I asked the question.

I don't like bis Avatar too, but he has the right to chose his avatar on his own, as far as it is not against the rules.
