๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท#Tรผrkiye: On 23 April, the Turkish Armed Forces inaugurated the first two #Altay tanks for trials. Due to significant changes in the design, the tank is now referred to as the โ€˜New Altayโ€™.

1/4 ๐Ÿ“ธDailySabahImageImageImage
The tests of the #Altay tank by the ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท#TAF are expected to be completed in 2024. In 2025, mass production of the tank will begin with the Korean powerpack, and in the second half of 2026 production is planned with the domestic Batu powerpack.

The tank is also equipped with the AKKOR Active Protection System, VOLKAN-II Fire Control System, or the SARP remote weapon station. All from @aselsan.

The ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ#Netherlands and the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ#Czechia are currently preparing two other projects in the field of air defence and artillery for ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ#Ukraine.

I think the projects will go in the same direction as the current rebuild of 90 T-72 tanks or the production of 115 MR-2 systems. That is, the production and coordination of the projects will be done in ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ#Czechia, while the ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ#Netherlands will largely finance the projects.

Now let's see what anti-aircraft systems the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ#Czech Republic can offer:

1) Production of additional MR-2 systems.

The MR-2 is a very short-range anti-aircraft system designed primarily to shoot down ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท#Iranian Shahed-136 (Geran-2) drones.

In 2011, the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ#Czech company #Retia presented a demonstrator of the upgraded 2K12 #Kub complex. The main change was the replacement of the original #3M9M3 missiles with ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น#Italian #MBDA #Aspide 2000 missiles, which are based on the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ#US AIM-9E #Sparrow.

Thread๐Ÿงถ
The missiles have maximum speed of Mach 4, range of 25km and have a 32kg warhead.
Missiles were now housed in compact launch containers, thus eliminating the need for constant loading onto launch rails and stacking on transport/loading vehicles. SURNCZ radar was used for guidance Photo by Jiล™รญ Tintฤ›raPhoto by Jiล™รญ Tintฤ›raPhoto by Jiล™รญ Tintฤ›raPhoto by Jiล™รญ Tintฤ›ra
This modernized complex has never been accepted into service by the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ#Czech Army, and currently the original 2K12 Kub is waiting to be replaced by the ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ#Israeli #Spyder system by #Rafael on the #Tatra 815-7 chassis.

#Ukraine/#Russia ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ:

Since 2014, there have been many vehicle modifications on both sides on the #Ukrainian battlefield. One of the most frequently modified vehicles is the MT-LB, originally intended as an artillery tractor.

@oryxspioenkop @CalibreObscura

Thread๐Ÿงต

Of course, many mass-produced vehicles were built on the MT-LB chassis, such as the 9k35 Strela-10, the 9P149 Shturm-S, or the 2S1 Gvozdika.

2/ Strela-10Shturm-S2S1 Gvozdika
Since the beginning of the war in #Donbas, soldiers have been forced to use the MT-LB for tasks other than those for which it was intended. They used it, and still do, for example as an APC. They immediately began to feel the weakness of the vehicle's firepower and armour.
