Haluk Görgün, President of Defence Industries, announced: Factory acceptance tests of the 1500 horsepower indigenous BATU engine developed for the ALTAY tank have been successfully completed. Transmission integration is next.
The first serial delivery of Turkey's indigenous Main Battle Tank "New ALTAY" was made to the Turkish Armed Forces on 28 October.
Engine embargoes in the defence industry aim to slow down Turkey's defence industry, but Turkish engineers are turning these obstacles into opportunities.
Domestic and national engines developed and produced by Turkish engineers.
