Domestic Motorized Armored Vehicles Increase the Power of the Army: 100 New Vehicles Delivered to the TSK and Gendarmerie!

Domestic Motorized Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicles: Innovative Steps in Turkey's Defense Industry

Turkey is experiencing a significant transformation in the field of defense industry. The domestic motorized tactical wheeled armored vehicles produced by BMC under the coordination of the Presidency of Defense Industries are a concrete example of the success of Turkish engineers. These vehicles were delivered to the Land Forces Command and the Gendarmerie General Command, strengthening our country's defense capability.

Delivery and Importance of Domestic Engine

The delivery of domestically-powered armored vehicles is of great importance not only in terms of military but also in terms of economic independence. President of Defense Industries Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün thanked all engineers and technicians who contributed to this project and emphasized the importance of Turkey's defense industry in the international arena.

Reducing Foreign Dependency in the Defense Industry with Domestic Production

BMC Chairman Fuat Tosyalı expressed their pride in seeing the results of their investments in line with their domestic and national production goals. As of today, the localization rate of the Kirpi and Vuran vehicles produced has reached 95% with their engines. This situation is considered an important step in meeting the tactical needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.

New Generation Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicles

New generation tactical wheeled armored vehicles play a critical role in military operations. The Kirpi and Vuran vehicles stand out with their armor protection, reconnaissance and surveillance, and fire capabilities. Land Forces Commander General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu stated that these vehicles are an important maneuvering element on the battlefield.

Future Projects on Land Vehicles

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün stated that they aim to implement many important projects on land vehicles by 2025. Projects such as the serial production of the main battle tank, the deliveries of kamikaze vehicles and the development of armored amphibious assault vehicles are among these goals.

Technical Specifications of the Domestic Engine

The Tuna engine, produced by BMC Power, was developed to be compatible with 20-25 ton armored vehicles. The use of this engine will further expand domestic production and once again prove the quality of Turkish engineering. The domestic engine is expected to increase the performance of military vehicles and improve their operational capabilities.

Economic Contribution with Domestic Production

The production of domestic motorized armored vehicles also contributes to Turkey's economic development. These developments in the defense industry create new employment areas and allow the domestic industry to grow. Turkey aims to become self-sufficient in the defense industry and reach a stronger position in the international market.

As a result

Turkey has taken an important step in the defense industry with its domestic motorized tactical wheeled armored vehicles. The delivery of these vehicles contributes greatly to the increase of our country's military power and the fight for independence. With domestic production, Turkey's defense industry goals will be carried even further.
