The domestically produced main battle tank, the Altay, has entered the inventory. After a long time, the Turkish Army finally received new state of art tanks. The Altay tank's production schedule will be as follows:
ALTAY-T1:
▪️2025: 3 units ✅
▪️2026: 11 units
➡️End of the 2026, or beginning of the 2027 - Passing to the BATU powerpack (Domestic engine, transmission, cooling system)
(Source: BMC CEO Mr. Tosyalı)
➡️New units with BATU powerpack
▪️2027: 41 units
▪️2028: 30 units
➡️Total 85 units of ALTAY-T1
▪️2028+: 165 ALTAY-T2
As can be seen, the Altay T2 version, which will feature isolated hull ammunition racks, an improved armor system, and the ability to fire a laser-guided national tank round, will enter production in 2028.
The new BMC Defense facility, which produces this tank, has the capacity to produce 8 Altays per month and 96 Altays per year.
