I'm not sure if it's the right thread, but I post anyway. In Turkey OOB there is an error because Leopard 2A4 are sobstituted by Leopard 2T since 2011, but this is not the reality. For now, only Leopard 2A4 are in service and no Leopard2T, maybe in the future
According to the Military Balance 2014 (I can send you the entire book if you need) these are Turkish tank forces now
MBT 2,504: 325 Leopard 2A4; 170 Leopard 1A4; 227 Leopard
1A3; 274 M60Al; 658 M60A3; 850 M48A5 Tl/T2 (2,000
more in store)
It seems that in 2011 the contract was won, but there aren't sources in the web that proof that the upgrade was completed.
I think that the best solution is to postpone leopard2A4 retire to 2020 and put Leo 2T in prototype tank maybe?
And about Altay tank I have some doubts, I think it will be fielded after next years.
The Military Balance 2014 says: "Four initial prototypes by 2014
for approx USD500m. To be
followed by an order for 250
units following testing"
If you send me PM with your email I can send you the military balance 2014, one of the best sources about current military in the world. There is a section of current equipment and a section about pending contracts for every nation.
According to defenseindustrydaily, this is similar to The Military Balance
