Is this the final turrent?

I believe this is a 3D model which distubuted years ago. There could have been changes while developing the Altay. We can't know for sure how the final turret is going to look like.

-----------------------------------------

Guys what we know about Altay's Armour is;

"Boron Carbide based new unspecified type composite armour"

What we know about the Boron Carbide is , it is the 3rd hardest material in the world after diamond and tungusten carbide. When evaluated with other ceramics which take part in armor systems; boron carbide is the hardest and lightest, but also the most expensive and brittle. Boron carbide composites are today favoured for ceramic plates protecting against smaller projectiles, such as used in body armour and armoured helicopters;

As far as i know; Altay will be the first tank to use boron carbide based armour. Inaddition Turkey has 63% of the world’s boron reserves.

Any addition ?

Please guys ! Translate. ^^







Simulation related to armour development of Altay.




Thank you !



Bonus. ^^

That is some thick multi-layer roof to armour of Altay ‘without the external composite armour’.

Lol you find better and more valuable information than most of the Turkish members.

What is the thickness of the armour or resistance is there such statistics.

Good news ! Roketsan hem zırh deliyor, hemde delinmeyen zırh yapmaya çalışıyor

Cinayet masasından bir polisin kusursuz cinayet işlemesi gibi birşey Dexter

Sayende Altay daha bitmeden GLADYOCU oldu Ülke icinde Altay Tanki Cinayet isledi derler artik Roketsan sagolsun diyerek ....

Pretty and promising tank, congratulations

Pretty and promising tank, congratulations

I talked to the Turks & they assured me that you ain't getting any of this beautiful beast !

Which means that you're gonna have to make do with those Challengers you operate - Which by the way are older than most people's Grandmas !

we can assume altay can resist 120mm L55 ammos kinetic energy from 2 kms which equal or more than 760mm on some parts of the tanks but all the tanks in the world can not be safe from top attack anti tank missiles unless having active protective systems

 

[That Guy]

This is kind of off topic, but whenever I read roketsan, I always think of a japanese man with a rocket shaped face, who's name is Roket, so everyone in Japan calls him Roket-san :/
