CNN Turk will begin mass production of the Turkish main battle tank Altay in two years.
The 65-ton tanks to be developed by Aselsan will be equipped with an active defense system that will make them “invulnerable” against state-of-the-art anti-tank missile systems such as the Javelin. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2023. Altay tanks will be equipped with new generation armors and will have a range of 8 km. The fire will be controlled by a computer system.

A contract worth 500 million dollars was signed in 2018 for the production of Altay. Enables the production of 250 tanks in the first stage.
