Скачать или смотреть Türkiye starts serial production of Altay tank

Turkey has entered a new phase in its defense modernization as serial production of the Altay main battle tank officially began at BMC’s new facility in the capital.

Altay tank is now in production at BMC’s modern facility within the Aerospace and Aviation Specialized Organized Industrial Zone (HAB) in Ankara. The tank, powered by the domestically produced BATU engine, successfully completed its trials and will soon be delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces.

Alongside the Altay, the Altug 8×8 armored combat vehicle will also be produced at the site. Orders have already been placed, and the facility is expected to become the backbone of Turkey’s land defense industry.

With both the Altay and Altug entering production, Ankara aims to reinforce its defense autonomy and expand its role as a supplier to allied nations.
