Mehmet Karaaslan, general manager of BMC (defense), said the company plans to deliver eight units a month in an order for an initial batch of 100 units. The Altay contract eventually involves the production of 1,000 tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ankara has been negotiating to buy as many as 100 units of South Korean-made engines and transmission that will power the Altay. However, an industry source in the northeast Asian country said that the program is not moving ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are serious tech-related and other problems,\u201d the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/techwatch\/2021\/03\/08\/at-long-last-turkeys-altay-tank-finds-an-engine-from-south-korea\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP570800204006.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">At long last, Turkey\u2019s Altay tank finds an engine from South Korea<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Altay program has faced delays due to a lack of access to significant components like the engine, transmission and armor.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey\u2019s top defense procurement official, Ismail Demir, has said that negotiations with two South Korean companies focused on the quantity of the power pack (engine and transmission), also called a power train, to be supplied for Turkey\u2019s Altay program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe must set a quantity \u2026 We are talking about 50 to 100,\u201d Demir said in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey\u2019s defense industry boomed over the last decade, <a href=\"https:\/\/carnegieendowment.org\/sada\/82936\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace<\/a>.

Presently it has <a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\">seven<\/a>\u2014more companies than Israel, Russia, Sweden and Japan combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey wants to make sure the Altay has enough foreign-made power packs until an domestically produced product is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to indigenously power the Altay, Turkey is developing the Batu engine. There is no local solution for the tank\u2019s transmission mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2021, Turkey and South Korea signed a letter of intent under which two Korean companies will supply engines and transmission mechanisms for the Altay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the deals, South Korean manufacturers Doosan and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hisntd.com\/eng\/main\/main.html\" target=\"_blank\">S&amp;T Dynamics<\/a> would supply the know-how for engine and transmission mechanism for the Altay, which would be co-produced in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The co-production option did not go ahead as planned and the new understanding changed into off-the-shelf acquisition of the Korean power pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BMC won the multibillion-dollar Altay contract in 2018. The contract involves the production of an initial batch of 250 units, life-cycle logistical support and the establishment and operation by the contractor of a tank systems technology center.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/2019\/11\/14\/turkeys-multibillion-dollar-altay-tank-program-faces-delay\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635632454250947941-168549071jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Turkey\u2019s multibillion-dollar Altay tank program faces delay<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Western countries, particularly Germany, have been reluctant to share certain technology with Turkey.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the contract, BMC will design, develop and produce a tank with an unmanned fire control unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Altay program is broken into two phases: T1 and T2.
