ALTAY Tank Transmission: SNT Dynamics Prepares for Production
**SNT Dynamics is gearing up for mass production of the transmission system for Turkey’s new main battle tank, the ALTAY. Developed by BMC, the ALTAY will initially feature a powerpack that combines an engine and an automatic transmission, both manufactured by SNT Dynamics, a South Korean company. As production of the tank’s powerpack accelerates, Turkey aims to incorporate the ALTAY tanks into its military inventory by August 2025.**
Currently, producing the EST15K transmission for the ALTAY Tank Power Pack 3 takes over six months; however, once mass production is fully operational, a transmission unit is expected to roll out every three days. According to EDaily, SNT Dynamics is expanding its production capabilities to fulfill the immediate demand for powerpacks for 250 ALTAY tanks. Furthermore, the same powerpack will also be utilized in the fourth production batch of the K2 tank and in K2PL variants meant for export to nations such as Poland.
