>nation of 90 million>wants to built its own domestic tank for decades>comes up with Altay tank, numbers built 7Is the desert moon deity you so love and worship against factories or what?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altay_(tank)
>>533996517they got better things to do?
>>533996517Because Robux is more valuable than fucking Turkish Lira
>>533996517Tanks are an outdated concept anyway and putting that money into FPV drones is probably a smarter move.
>>533996517Not that bad an idea, you don't want huge numbers of reserve tanks, that's a liability and a logistical drain. They just built a few in order to prove out the tooling and production processes so when they need more they can easily ramp up production
there are like 6-7 countries out there that can make tank engines. We wanted to be one as well and picked the long route.
Turkish designed & built 1500 hp diesel.>>533997737Tanks are irreplacable.
>>533996517they dont have the depleted uranium lying around for modern tank production
>>533996517Historical reasons. Europe industrialised rapidly during the 19th century but Turkey settled with being a dumping ground for cheap factory goods. This meant a lack of homegrown skills and infrastructure partucularly when it came to weapons tech. And so they spent a century getting buckbroken and rescued.
>>533998861this burger gets it, within a few years annual production will reach to 50 units. >>533999534Depleted uranium is used for armor penetration. Our MKE produces APFSDS rounds, alledegly performing in between DM43 and DM53. Enough to take out any tank our neighbors have.

>>533998861And what, you leave the factory assembly lines, spaces and so on unused? When they can be setup to produce other shit? That's not how it works, the line either runs or is used for something else
>>533996517They aren't white/asianArab IQ plateaud and nobody cared about increasing it
>>533999991lel, our guys design & produce all type of armored vehicles including its power units. MBT, SPG, APCs, MRAPs and even Tank Carriers. Australia can not compete with that
>>534000624We have our own 8x8 carriers, now they will be making 12x12 and 14x14 TEL carriers locally in Turkey
>>533996517maybe they realised that tanks are nothing more than steel coffins in modern warfare
>>533999418Nah drones mogs tanks.
>>533996517Well our Ajax is worse. At least Altay got delayed because erdogan wanted to enrich his friends instead of his enemies. There is no explanation for Ajax aside from complete incompetence and wastefulness.
they larp about having a fifth gen plane but they can't build a tank engine. yeah ok, Aladdin.
>>534001246>they can't build a tank engine.You are misinformed, they are designing & building the tank engines, transmission and mobility units locally in Ankara & Sakarya, Türkiye.
>>533996517>>comes up with Altay tank, numbers built 7Sounds like a russian name.Same with "turkish" "drones", very likely built by russian engineers who have vacation homes in Turkey. >Why does Turkey suck so much at industry Maybe because they are brown? And historically stole , raped, sold people into slavery , and overall were good at TRADE , and not engineering.
>>534001577burger mutt goycattle and his opinion.funnily enough, Turkey is whiter than USA. Whites were invincible in 1940, and now they have no countries, and are going extinct.Lesson: it's not 1940 anymore
>>534002094>Maybe because they are brown?>And historically stole , raped, sold people into slavery , and overall were good at TRADE ,>and not engineering.Why is your tank named by a russian name, Altay? It's mountains in Russia.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altai_Mountains
>>534002341>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altai_MountainsYou are a room temperature IQ oxygen thief. the article you provide has this part; >Altai is derived from underlying form *altañ "gold, golden" (compare Old Turkic 𐰞𐱃𐰆𐰣 altun "gold, golden") with coda -ñ underlying the -n & -y correspondence among cognates in different Turkic languages & dialects (e.g. qōñ ~ qoy "sheep", Qitan ~ Qitay "Khitans", etc.), as well as in Mongolian."The name of the Tank comes from Turkish cavalry commander Fahrettin Altay, that enveloped and destroyed Greek armies in 1922, then entered Izmir.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrettin_Altay
Building a modern (not-Russian) tank requires a complex industry with some very specific competencies. Europe and the US practically stopped building new hulls some 20 years ago, instead choosing to refurbish and refit old ones. It took Europe 4 years to restart real production of new hulls at about ~100 a year. The US is still at ~20.
>>534002596can you guys preventively nuke israel? thanks roachbros
>>533996517Its not about capability, Turkey is actually highly industrialized, probabyl second biggest in Europe.We already have tons of tanks who gets modernized constantly. Producing high maintenance tanks we wont get to use is stupid. Add to that general corruption and engines that are still in production/development.
Idk why anyone would say this.Yeah is no asian tiger but its a ass load better than a lot of other places. even india I thinkhttps://oec.world/en/profile/country/tur
the name ALTAY comes from the german-turkish actor of COBRA.turks are just a memetheir Army is a joke muuuh müllithatanaahahah türrrkieeye lmaoLiterally 50 serbs with rusty AK47´s would genocide them. Turks cant fight for shit. Muslims cant fight for shit. Brownoids are not capable for modern war.
turk bros?i dont feel so goodyou know when some ISIS arab sandniggers destroyed 15 Leopards and burnt the crew live on camera but before they got burnt live on camera they had to make WUFF WUFF we are turkish dogs WUFF WUFF HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH
Tanks are becoming less relevant, esp heavy western type tanks, and not even Russia went ahead with their new model as they realized it's not worth it
Looks like a leopard clone.
>>533999418Turkiye is doing some cool shit.Possibly producing their own fighter jet engines soon?
It's a 70 IQ muslim shitskin shithole. It's a miracle we have anything.
I'm a plane guy though IDK about the tank.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE1C39KA3wY
>>534004489>esp heavy western type tanksMight not actually be true. It seems like the heavier a tank's armour, the better it seems to fare on the drone warfare battlefield. Challenger 2 and Stridsvagn have done well in Ukraine are notable for being very heavily armoured even compared to Leopard 2 (which Stridsvagn is a modification of) and even Abrams. If anything it's smaller less heavily armoured Russian tanks that have fared the worst, unless they're up-armoured into absurd turtle tanks, which are ineffectual for other reasons but ultimately more or less impervious to FPV drones.
>>533996689fisting each other?
>>533996517Literally that OP, some clown; he does clown stuff.
>>533996517>Is the desert moon deity you so love and worshiyou do know the half crescent was adopted from Byzantium, right?
>>533999232>>533999418>>533999880>>534000624>>5340008022 more years
>>534006786Well my brother in the turkic union,Dont you know we have the power of cope and imagination
