The Turkish PARS wheeled armoured combat vehicle

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Well I hit the wrong button so now you get version Don wishes he could get from me. In short, Turkey hasn't committed yet due to several weapons upgrade programs in the armor area (M113, M-60T and LEO 1&2 etc.) and ALTAY. Interest is still there, but the focus is on the PARS 6x6 for their NEW Recon vehicle program. In your second ref lower left corner, you'll note the only contract for the PARS 8x8 is from Maylaysia that just as reported earlier recieved the first of their PARS last month. For more info on the Maylasian PARS see threads and posts...

I have been keeping an eye on PARS 8x8 for Turkey for sometime now, also because it was a contender in the first USA GCV Program competition and also because the USMC was taking a look at it as well when the EFV Program was in trouble and after it's eventual termination.

I further draw your attention to the Maylasia OOB UNITS 30-32. as these would be ready made for Turkey.
