What's new

Turkish Engine Programs

It seems like OTOKAR spends lots of efforts to get our indigenous tank project. So far, they are the only one who deserve it.

But as far as I understand, this engine isn't enough for ALTAY. isn't it?

TÜMOSAN was not able to find a foreign partner for the development of its engine and offered to do it themself as could as they can.

Another delayed project. This could also affect Altay. Bad news.

Not really, today was the last extended day allowed by the gov. meaning they gonna go with the German made motor, as the beginning, so delay should be as before. if Tumosan founded a patner then the altay will have been delayed ( around 2+years) so good news

Aren't we using German engines for the first tanks anyway?

yes it's good news, no more delay.
Bad news for export only
 
Give the project to Ford Otosan already.

You know our people. They won't be innovative as long as they can buy anything from foreign suppliers. To be honest, I think it isn't really bad that they couldn't find a foreign partner. Look at our history. Many Turkish defense companies like ASELSAN are created during a period of US sanctions after our Cyprus operation.
 
Well money rule... so if another give less, with suitable manufacturing condition.. then he will win

Money is one factor in a tender, but should not be sole factor to take into account.

Tumosan has already been working on the project for years now. If they gave it to Ford Otosan, they would have to start from scratch. Instead of Tumosan finding a foreign partner, they could partner up with For Otosan instead.
