Picture Of Altay Tank Prototype Being Built

[BordoEnes]

Looking at this prototype it seems that it will differ significantly from the Mock-up Displayed at IDEF.

Alas...like Amir Khusrou I too lament : Zaban-e-yaar man turki, Man turki namidanum - The language of my friend is Turkish, but I know no Turkish !

So...please can someone briefly tell me what the guy just said ?

ıt starts with

Bir Türk tankı = A Turkish Tank

Turkish dream of half a century, a tank the world press wants to display... Altay. (This came from our tank project that has been canceled when it was about to finish by Ismet Inonu because of US demands for entering NATO)

Now we are getting insede of production center thanks to our special permission. Very important part of the project has been completed. The first prototype is about to be built and near me this model is a mock up for presentation on international defence industiry fair.

After two years of developing process there might be some changes done by engineers but to our latest knowledge tank will have this general features.

Engine Power: 1500 hp

Weight: 60 tn

Max. Speed: 90 km/hr

Operational Range: 500km

Crew: 4

Unit Cost: 5.4 million $

Nuclear, chemical and biological filter system

There will be system to protect the crew from inside pressure and cabin fire.

The electronic system will be work independent from engines. ( I don't know what this actually does but I think this is about still beinh operational even the engine is damaged or fuel runs out )

Counter messures against guided missiles.

This year first prototype will be tested for speed, agility and operational range. The seconf prototype will be built when the first one is still on field tests. ( They didn't said anything about when the second one will be built)

There are 40 companies and 500 engineers working for Altay project, their goal is that passing the tests and finishing the project in 3 years.

Deno, you actually translated all of that ! That would have taken a while...that was very considerate of you. Sag Olun !

whos making engine of this

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

Speed at 1:00 is 90km?! impossible! how could that be with a 60 tone tank?

 

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

It cannot cost 5.4 million dollars! it looks too good to cost that low.

Why the heck did you change your avatar ?

The tank seen in video is mock up and Officials clearly stated that Real prototypes will be similar to this mock-up, not same. Some changes on chassis and turret is certain...


I think That's the real one..

and attention to this design image,

Chassis is almost same with some minor changes and Turret is seen without add-on armour kits...
