ASELSAN’s AKKOR Active Protection System has been integrated into the Altay Tank, placing Türkiye among the few nations with this advanced technology.

ASELSAN and BMC signed a contract to modernize Leopard 2A4 tanks with indigenous technologies, strengthening Türkiye’s defense industry capacity.

Developed for the Turkish Armed Forces, the New Altay tank will undergo 6,000 comprehensive tests before entering mass production, ensuring battlefield reliability.

The Altay main battle tank is equipped with domestically produced MKE weapons and ammunition, featuring a 120 mm L/55 gun that delivers greater firepower and durability.

The Turkish Armed Forces are modernizing Leopard 2A4 and M60 series tanks with indigenous armor and active protection systems, boosting combat effectiveness and survivability.

Marking a historic milestone in national tank production after 80 years, the Altay is equipped with a 1500-horsepower engine and advanced indigenous protection systems.

Otokar’s new AKREP II armored vehicle, featuring hybrid propulsion, low silhouette design, and autonomous infrastructure, is ready for serial production after passing international tests.

At the delivery ceremony of the new Altay tank to the TSK, President Erdoğan highlighted its advanced, resilient, and indigenous features as symbols of Türkiye’s defense vision.

Led by Nurol Makina, Türkiye’s armored vehicles are now being produced with fully indigenous armor steel, boosting both resilience and global competitiveness.

Equipped with Roketsan’s next-generation hybrid armor, the Altay tank offers maximum crew protection while maintaining mobility, strengthening Türkiye’s defense and export potential.

Türkiye achieved $4.4 billion in defense exports in 2022 and aims to reach $6 billion in 2023, solidifying its growing global influence in defense markets.

One of Türkiye’s most significant defense industry projects, the Altay tank, will be delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces on April 23, 2023, symbolizing localization efforts.
