Turkey showed a light tulpar tank at the weapon: what is the features of the machine

Tulpar was developed for the Turkish army, but re -equipment was paused, so Otokar was swept with the Italians. The BMP turned out to be modular and versatile. At the Saudi Arms Exhibition, which takes place from February 4 to February 8, the Turkish company Otokar in a cooperation with the Italian company Leonardo showed a light track tank Tulpar. About it reports European Defense Review. The updated Turkish-Italian light tank tank made his debut at the Arms Exhibition in Riyadh.

The machine was designed for the needs when a direct fire support machine is needed, which will be easier than the tank, but at the same time able to carry infantry. In addition, the machine can be useful for countries where the infrastructure does not allow the use of basic combat tanks.

Tulpar is a modular platform that has been offered in various variants since 2015, its full battle mass can reach 45 tons, and the digital fire control system Armatronics allows you to integrate different modules into the machine quite quickly. Also, the engine can be a power of 700 to 1100 horsepower. The combat module can have a 105 or 120 mm caliber. Also, a remote machine gun is installed on the Turel. There is a function of charging on 12 shells. The crew consists of 12 people.

The cooperation agreement with the Italians was reached in 2022. They put HitFact II on the tank of the tower II, which is a modernized version of Centauro II combat module. Currently, Turkey with Italy has shown only a technology demonstrator, and the car test is planned after the exhibition is completed. We will remind, on June 29 in the United States presented a new light tank M10 Booker, which is officially qualified as BMP.
