In the evolving landscape of modern armored warfare, main battle tanks remain pivotal in shaping military dominance and geopolitical influence.
Türkiye’s first domestically produced main battle tank, the ALTAY, is set to enter service with the country’s land forces this year, with a total of 165 units expected to be operational by 2028.
Türkiye is reportedly in negotiations with Saudi Arabia to finalize a $6 billion (RM26.3 billion) defense agreement, potentially involving the sale of tanks, warships, and missiles.
The Turkish Armed Forces are set to begin receiving their domestically developed Altay main battle tanks by the end of next year, according to Defense Minister Yasar Guler.
Turkey has commenced mass production of the “Altay” main battle tank, developed by its local defense firm BMC Defense, after several years in the development phase.
