Fallout Re: MBT's

This is the first news in over a year, however, Turkey has gone back to the drawing board and modified the ALTAY. Specifically concerning the turret and adding a 360 Hard-kill/Soft-kill APS. I believe we already have it with a 12.7mm RWS, if not, it does now.

The turret is definitely, as the article indicates, been up armored though I don't see anything to indicate anything more then a minor or slightly improved increase of our current in game tank numbers.

I need to see more pictures of this newer version of the ALTAY to be sure of those numbers.

And more importantly, there still is no timeline given as far as the evaluation, production or if you will, induction of the ALTAY.

TRACKING...

Edited for clarification.
