Turkey's Altay tank represents the latest generation of main battle tanks, drawing on decades of combat experience. Designed to meet Turkish requirements but based on the K2 Black Panther, it features advanced composite armor, a 120mm smoothbore gun, and state-of-the-art fire control systems. The tank's superior air conditioning and NBC protection systems reflect its focus on crew comfort and safety. Indigenous systems, including the battlefield management system and fire control computer, highlight Turkey's growing defense industry capabilities. The Altay's combination of active protection systems and remotely controlled weapon stations makes it a strong contender in the global tank market.
