Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

[MMM-E]

This is the chinese way of life. As the turkish one it seems.

The number of countries in the world capable of producing Tank Engines is so small ( 7-8 Countries )


It is an original, indigenous Engine and transmission , including the cylinder block, combustion chamber design, turbocharger integration and FADEC digital control units developed from scratch by Turkish engineers at BMC POWER


Metallurgy and materials Technology can not be copied
( You need to work for years )

The casting technique used for the engine block and the forging process for the crankshaft are among the world’s most closely guarded trade secrets. Even if you were to determine the precise composition of the alloy , the specific proportions of elements added to the metal in a laboratory, you still could not replicate the exact heat treatment applied to that metal, nor the specific temperatures and durations used. Without the proper technology, the engine block would crack or the crankshaft would snap under the immense pressure the moment you started the Engine


Transmission (Gearbox and Hydraulic Systems) can not be copied
The torque converters, hydraulic units, and planetary gear systems within a transmission are manufactured with tolerances measured in microns. Even with the world’s most advanced CNC machinery at your disposal, you cannot produce these gears without knowing the precise alloys and manufacturing methods required


FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and Software can not be copied
The software and algorithms contained within this unit are essentially a black box. Even if you were to replicate the hardware, it would be impossible to copy the millions of lines of embedded software that govern how the engine reacts


If you lack the necessary metallurgy, precision casting, and software technologies, any attempt at replication will end in failure. In the BATU project, Türkiye has successfully navigated these critical stages by leveraging its own engineering infrastructure.

Turkiye does not engage in copying
Turks pays for the design or purchases the rights for licensed production

ALTAY Tank : we bought the K-2 design and developed the ALTAY Tank with another turret and some modifications

K-2 Tank : 55 tons
ALTAY Tank : 65 tons

BATU Engine and Transmission is 100% Turkish design and technologies

BATU Engine and Transmission is 100% Turkish design and technologies

So it is a pure chance that BATU use the same config in "U", the same number of cylinders, same displacement, same number of turbos than the MTU Leo2 engine ???
Okay..... (lol).

Okay..... (lol).

it is a matter of military necessity and engineering standardization, rather than copying


The hull design of the ALTAY Tank specifically the width, height and length of the engine compartment was initially drafted based on the German MTU Engine and the RENK transmission

So , The only standard solution globally that allows the engine and transmission to fit side by side as a single, integrated unit is the "U-type configuration" architecture.

Okay..... (lol).

Also , To generate a massive output of 1,500 hp from an Engine block the size of a Tank Engine, the 12-cylinder architecture is the global standard.

Okay..... (lol).

Also , The engine displacements of the BATU and the MTU are not the same.

MTU Engine : 47,6 L
BATU Engine : 27,3 L
