Unfortunately until there is mass production of the Altay and Light Tanks and UGVs in mass, this is a necessity atleast for part of the fleet. We have seen how the war of attrition is going in Ukraine. Its sounds crazy but if there was a land war in Europe, Germans and French will be using their older tanks as well the way the Russians are doing, refurbishing older tanks b/c the T-90s are not enough.. Russians had lost 200 T-90 by 2025, numbers are probably higher now.

I think going forwards Cheap Mobile UGVs may enter the meta. Automating some of these tanks to be remotely controlled or have autonomous capabilities with AI may be the future.

Just read a magazine in french, written by the french MBT specialist : Marc Chassilian.

The BATU engine of Altay MBT is nothing else than a copie and paste of the MTU V12 engine of Leo2.

Same engine displacement, same config, same mounting points.

If the engine works, and is made in Türkiye on a turn-key basis, then what is the problem BonBon/Rakesh ????
