Aselsan, while
modernizing the Leopard 2A4, has replaced the tank's all
electronic, electro-optical, electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic
equipment with its state-of-the-art systems, the state
news agency said. Many of the subsystems Aselsan has used
to modernize the Leopard 2A4 will be included in the Altay.
Aselsan earlier modernized 171 German-made Leopard 1 tanks
under a $160 million contract with the Undersecretariat
for Defense Industries, or SSM, Turkey's defense procurement
agency.
