Karahan is the unmanned ground vehicle of Oguzkagan Defense with Aselsan anti-tank system.
The work of Oğuzkagan Defense's kamikaze unmanned ground vehicles continues in two phases.
Phase 1: For anti-personnel and unarmored vehicles. (mini version). An explosion test will be done soon.
Phase 2: For armored vehicles.

On a related note: the EU has kicked-off the joint development for an unmanned ground vehicle platform (integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System, iMUGS).
Article is in German, but you can get a decent translation with deepl.

FNSS GM Nail Kurt: 30 adet M113 ZPT'yi tedarik ettik. İstenildiği taktirde İnsansız Kara Aracı konseptimiz gölge süvariye evirebiliriz.

Translated from Turkish by
FNSS GM Nail Kurt: We supplied 30 pieces of M113 ZPT. If desired, our unmanned ground vehicle concept can evolve into shadow cavalry.

So from new acquisitions for the land forces:
Scouting/Reconnaissance: Pars Scout 6x6 and 8x8 ~100
Anti-Armor: Kaplan-10 and Pars 4x4 ~260
IFV: Modernization of ACV-15 ~133
Special Forces: Pars III 6x6 ~?
That’s almost 500 new vehicles for the Army over the next 2-3 years.
—————————————————————
We also know that projects by FNSS and Aselsan are ongoing for new Turrets(Korhan 35mm, Teber-30/35), as well as new APCs/IFVs (Pars IV and whatever Aselsan is working on either alone or with other companies)
So over the next 3-5 years we could see the Land Forces add Altay(MBT), NGAPC and NGIFV to these acquisitions which should give it a nice fleet of modern vehicles and new capabilities with it.
Hoping for some surprises on that Front at IDEF21, especially with what Aselsan is cooking up.

Turkish Army receives first batch of domestic anti-tank weapon system mounted vehicles

Atotal of 26 new generation tank destroyer vehicles, KAPLAN, developed by the Turkish defense firm FNSS have been delivered to Turkish Armed Forces so far, the company's chairman said Tuesday. The latest deliveries also carry domestic medium-range anti-tank missile OMTAS.
The latest batch of vehicles is the first one to use the OMTAS gun turrets developed by the country’s leading defense company ROKETSAN.
The FNSS Chairman Nail Kurt said that those 26 vehicles have been delivered to date within the scope of the weapon carrier vehicles project previously inked between the Defense Industries Presidency (SSB) and the FNSS.
"The last two of these were delivered with OMTAS gun turrets,” Kurt said and have thus entered the army’s inventory as anti-tank vehicles.
Kurt also noted that the company took all measures to prevent any delay in the delivery of products due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He added that Pars 4x4 vehicles, which have also been developed under the scope of the same project are expected to be delivered with OMTAS missiles.
The qualification tests have started at full speed for the Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV), Kurt went on saying, noting that they are expected to be completed over the course of the next year.
"Mass production will be completed by the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 and 27 vehicles will be delivered," he said.
Speaking on the company plans over the course of the rest of the year, during a press meeting, Kurt said that they expect a 15% decrease in sales, which is not entirely because of the COVID-19 outbreak but rather due to delays in expected and signed projects.
Talking about the effects of the outbreak he added that it will take up to one year for the impact of the virus to become apparent and that it is too early to come to any conclusion about it. He also added that the effects should not only be considered negative.
Pointing out that an ecosystem has been developed in the defense industry in the last 30-35 years and it had gained serious momentum in recent years, Kurt said, "It should not be lost, because it will be very difficult and costly to get up and running again. Precautions to maintain this ecosystem and ensure sustainability are required,” he said.
New projects abroad
The defense company chairman has also given information about the firm’s activities abroad and stated that they do not foresee any change in export plans.
The company currently has a project that includes the installation of a facility, along with an ongoing project in Oman, he said adding that Malaysia is also very interested in the Pars 4x4 and the Nurol Makina's Ejder Yalçın 4x4 armored combat vehicles.
The modernization and upgrade of the armored combat vehicle Adnan are needed in the Southeast Asian country, Kurt noted and its search for 8x8 vehicles continues as well.
Pointing out that the FNSS has signed a new contract for the medium weight class tank KAPLAN MT in Indonesia, Kurt stated that they expect to receive larger orders over the course of up to two years of period.
KAPLAN MT, medium weight tanks were co-produced by the Turkish defense contractor FNSS and Indonesia's PT Pindad.
The medium tank is suitable for use in countries with only two seasons in Southeast Asia, like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines as well as in four-season countries because it can operate at a maximum temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, and at a minimum temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The KAPLAN MT prototype was first exhibited at the 13th International Defense Industry Fair held in May 2017. The first prototype was sent to Indonesia in September 2017.
A CMI Cockerill 3105 tower – equipped to fire high-pressure 105-millimeter (mm) shells – provides the tank's main firepower.
The diesel-engine powered tank has a fully automatic transmission and is able to carry three crew members –a driver, a shooter and a commander.
With a maximum speed of 70 kilometre per hour (kph), the vehicle has a range of 450 kilometers.
Ballistic guards protect the tank's body and the vehicle has add-on armor. In addition, the tank's belly is guarded against mines.
It also has a secondary weapon in the shape of a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun.
Kurt stated that there is a need for a new generation armored combat vehicle and weapon turret weighing more than 30 tons, which have also found their place in the company portfolios.
A tender for a project in South Korea is still continuing, Kurt informed as they expect it to be completed in the first months of 2020. He also hinted that they are hopeful on projects regarding South America and some Turkic republics.
He further added that they have projects for unmanned land vehicles in line with the demand.

Yeah bro's soon or later we are integrate a engine to altay but tank concept is change ;
Russians made Armata ;
And Franco- Germans Develope a MGCS with new 1600 hp mtu and rheinmetall 130 mm L/51 for response to Armata with same concept with him.
---------------------------------------------------------
But there are two nations who cannot make a choice like us ; İtaly Britain Turkey ;
İtaly have very old tanks. Their tanks have 1300 hp engine and also use L/44 class gun .
Also britain have a challenger 2 tanks whu use L/55 gun but 1200 hp class engine.
Also we are produce altay with L/55 and 1500 hp engine.
But
İn new tank concept ; our L/55 gun , british l/55 and italian L/44 class can penetrateable to armata and mgcs front armour also leopard 2a6. But also armata's future 152 mm gun and mgcs 130mm l/51 can be penetrate altay, challenger, ariete, leo 2a6 etc.
So one time german and frenchs when made MGCS other tanks looks like junk. And they eat most of tank export cake. And they cannot give a long time to new l/51 gun and engine to other western tank producers for his tanks.
So
İtaly cant enter mgcs project they even enter fcas project with germans, they enter to co-op with british's on tempest, Also Brits cant co-op any field with Franco-Germans. So we have a good realtions with brits and italians. Why not we make a co-operation for new type gun and engine-transmission for our future altay tanks ? Maybe we cant make a joint tank due export issiues but we can make a research and development co-operation.
