The Turkish Government will be procuring the Korean made Doosan Infracore DV27K diesel engine for the first production batch of Altay tanks.
Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) head Ismail Demir said Sunday, March 13: "The tests of the engine’s power systems are currently underway. We are waiting for May. We will see the prototype of the tank with this engine,"
Turkish procurement of Korean engines is a direct result of the German arms-embargo against Turkey; however Turkey intends to field its own domestic engine after the first batch of tanks are procured.

There are also strong indications that MKE is working on an electric powerpack for the Altay besides BMC power. We'll hear more about it when the E-Firtina is ready.
I am looking forward to the electric Firtina and Altay!
