The Altay tank is believed to Defense Industries Presidency (SSB).” be an improved version of South Korea’s K2 Black Panther tank. The accompanying passage from the state-owned Anadolu Ajansı Source: Necati Keleş, “Altay tankının seri üretim sözleşmesi imzalandı provides information about the agreement for the production of (Contract signed for the mass production of Altay tank),” Anadolu Ajansı, 9 November 2018. https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/gunun-basliklari/ Altay tanks. altay-tankinin-seri-uretim-sozlesmesi-imzalandi/1306982 According to the passage, in the initial phase, 250 Altay tanks will be manufactured and the Turkish Land Forces Command will The contract for the mass production of Altay tank was signed in a ceremony at the state Defense Industries Presidency (SSB)… receive the delivery of the first tank within 18 months. The Turkish and Qatari joint venture BMC will manufacture the tank, with …The state Defense Industries President [Ismail] Demir, ... armored additional involvement of Turkish firms Roketsan, Aselsan, MKE vehicle maker BMC’s Chairman Ethem Sancak, Chairman of Aselsan Haluk Görgün, and General Manager of Roketsan Selçuk Yasar were and Havelsan. BMC’s CEO Ethem Sancak, during the signing present at the signing ceremony for the Altay [tank] mass production ceremony, stated that SSB and the Turkish armed forces requested contract. to manufacture the Altay tanks 100 percent locally. However, despite this request, the Turkish defense industry is still unable The project includes mass production of 250 Altay main battle tanks. The contract includes life-cycle logistical support and the establishment to produce a Turkish-made engine. The president of SSB Ismail and operation of the Tank Systems Technology Center. The first Altay Demir, stated that the engine will be foreign at this stage while tank is projected to be delivered to Land Forces Command in 18 months. locally made engines are being developed. German MTU engines As part of the contract one unmanned Altay tank will also be designed, will probably be used as the prototypes were produced using this developed, and manufactured. Altay tanks have a 120-mm gun, engine. electronic command and control systems, and armor… The first 40 tanks are projected to be relatively basic in design Demir in a speech during the ceremony said the Altay tank is a mile and will carry the Akkor active protection system and some stone in the development of the Turkish defense industry. additional armor. The other 210 tanks will have a more advanced Demir said foreign engines will be used in the first Altay tanks and in armor system and the capability to launch laser-guided projectiles the future locally [made] engines will be used… from their 120-mm main gun. They will also have electronic Regarding the engine of the tank, Demir said Turkey’s main aim was to command and control systems. Designing an unmanned Altay tank maximize the local production rate in such defense projects. was also in the contract. Turkey’s long-awaited Altay tank’s mass “We need to overcome obstacles that obstruct Turkey’s ability to production will certainly play a significant role in local armored move independently. We are, of course, not closing the doors to foreign vehicle production and will be an important contribution to the partners.

Na tle innych czołgów średnich pokazano parametry czołgu Twardy. Na podsta- wie badań własnych dotyczących elastyczności spalinowych silników wysokoprężnych zapropo- nowano możliwości poprawy parametrów silnika czołgu Twardy w ten sposób, by nie przekracza- no jego obciążeń cieplnych i mechanicznych. Rozwiązanie to ma a jednocześnie służyć poprawie jego manewrowości przy względnie niewysokim nakładzie pracy. Przedstawiono jego wpływ na parametry napełnienia silnika oraz zadymienie spalin. Słowa kluczowe: czołgi, PT-91 Twardy, silniki czołgowe, manewrowość WSTĘP Manewrowość taktyczna określa zarówno ruchliwość, jak i „przeżywalność” po- jazdów wojskowych bezpośrednio na polu walki, w skład których wchodzą takie para- metry jak: prędkość maksymalna na szosie, prędkość w terenie, przyspieszenie, zasięg jazdy, zdolności pokonywania różnego rodzaju przeszkód oraz, uznawany za podsta- wowy, parametr zwany mocą jednostkową [2]. Właściwie decydujący wpływ na zdol- ności przyspieszania, pokonywania wzniesień oraz uzyskiwania maksymalnych prędko- ści jazdy pojazdów ma moment obrotowy silnika, który wpływa na jego elastyczność, a tym samym na zdolność przystosowania się do zmiennych obciążeń i prędkości obro- towych [8]. Na manewrowość broni pancernej, oprócz wspomnianych czynników, ma również wpływ budowa pojazdów oraz właściwości układów bieżnych, czyli budowa zawieszenia, układów skrętnych [8].

  • Progress in Delivering the British Army's Armoured
    AVF0014 Written evidence submitted by Nicholas Drummond “Progress in Delivering the British Army’s Armoured Vehicle Capability.” Nicholas Drummond Defence Industry Consultant and Commentator Aura Consulting Ltd. ______________________________________________________________________________ _________ Contents Section 1 - Introduction Section 2 - HCDC questions 1. Does the Army have a clear understanding of how it will employ its armoured vehicles in future operations? 2. Given the delays to its programmes, will the Army be able to field the Strike Brigades and an armoured division as envisaged by the 2015 SDSR? 3. How much has the Army spent on procuring armoured vehicles over the last 20 years? How many vehicles has it procured with this funding? 4. What other capabilities has the Army sacrificed in order to fund overruns in its core armoured vehicles programmes? 5. How flexible can the Army be in adapting its current armoured vehicle plans to the results of the Integrated Review? 6. By 2025 will the Army be able to match the potential threat posed by peer adversaries? 7. Is the Army still confident that the Warrior CSP can deliver an effective vehicle capability for the foreseeable future? 8. To what extent does poor contractor performance explain the delays to the Warrior and Ajax programmes? 9. Should the UK have a land vehicles industrial strategy, and if so what benefits would this bring? 10. What sovereign capability for the design and production of armoured vehicles does the UK retain? 11. Does it make sense to upgrade the Challenger 2 when newer, more capable vehicles may be available from our NATO allies? 12. What other key gaps are emerging within the Army’s armoured vehicle capability? 13.

In land-based operations to defeat these threats and their accompanying realities, the focus falls on soldiers, security forces and first responders who – often at the risk of their own lives – protect people, enforce justice and guard assets on behalf of their governments. These are dangerous jobs, and there is a clear duty of care upon the employers for the health and well-being of their “human assets”.
