Türkiye has officially delivered its first domestically produced Altay tanks to the armed forces, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Tuesday at the opening ceremony of BMC’s Ankara Tank and New Generation Armoured Vehicles Production Facility.
Erdoğan stated that the tanks underwent 35,000 kilometres of testing and 3,700 live-fire exercises before being handed over. He emphasised that the Altay tanks, upgraded with advanced systems, are designed to withstand the most demanding battlefield conditions.
The president also highlighted the 63,000-square-metre mass production facility, noting that it will produce eight Altay tanks and ten Altug armoured vehicles each month.
Erdoğan added that Türkiye has reduced its foreign defence dependence to below 20%, with security forces meeting nearly all of their needs through domestic vehicles and equipment. He also noted that the country has over 1,400 defence projects and ranks among the top three global producers of unmanned aerial vehicles.
The ceremony was attended by Qatari Defence Minister Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. Erdoğan thanked BMC, the Presidency of Defence Industries, and all workers involved in the facility’s construction, while Sheikh Saoud praised the Türkiye-Qatar defence partnership.
