25 millimeter guns are in the development phase,but it wouldn't take long time.

STOP gun




STAMP is on the MRTP-15,which is 12.7 mm.

Turkey is developing their MBT with SK's help.I wish Pakistan leaves the Chinese designs and opts for more western heavy MBT now and joins the project too.

sorry but what means " devolping their MBT with -> SK's <- help" ?

I think SK stands for South Korea, though I may be wrong.

Korea Agrees to Transfer of K-2 Tank Technology to Turkey

(Source: Korean Ministry of National Defense; issued July 30, 2008)

Minister of National Defense Lee Sang-Hee attends signing of contract on technology cooperation for development of Turkey's next-generation armored vehicle.

The technology of ROK's K-2 tank will be transferred to Turkey for the development of the country's next-generation Turkey National Main Battle Tank (TNMBT) by 2015.

The ROK-Turkey Tank Development Technology Cooperation Agreement was signed July 29 in a ceremony held in Turkey's Ankara, which was attended by Defense Minister Lee Sang-Hee and key officials of Turkey, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA). The agreement calls for technological cooperation between the two countries for the development of Turkey's next generation tank by April 2015.

The US$400 million deal includes the costs of producing four prototypes and fees for the transfer of technology. "It is significant in that we are not only exporting defense articles, but we are also exporting our advanced technology," the DAPA said. "This was made possible as the Turkish government recognized the superiority of our advanced technology accumulated from our abundant experience of developing and producing tanks, which also proves that our defense technology has come to one of the highest levels in the world."

Hyundai Rotem, which signed the technology cooperation deal with Turkey's Otokar Co., has been working on Turkey's tank development project as a technology advisor since 2006, along with the Agency for Defense Development (ADD). As the Turkish government recognized Hyundai Rotem's advanced technology, accumulated from its production of K-1, K1A1 and K-2 armored vehicles for the past 30 years, the company was named the primary bidder in June 2007, defeating a German competitor.

While noting the deal was made possible with the active and coordinated support of the DAPA, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Army, the ADD and the military attache at the ROK Embassy in Turkey for defense exports, the Ministry of Defense praised the deal as a "first step" of the country's defense industry toward becoming a new source of power behind economic development.

Minister Lee said, "The relationship of the two brother nations of a 50-year blood alliance has now become, both in name and deed, an alliance of technology cooperation, in which the two share even the most advanced defense technology." "Let us continue to work together in the 21st century and beyond under a spirit that our two nations are tied by blood," he added.

"The Republic of Korea will continue to work with Turkey in the future to help modernize the Turkish military," the minister said. "I hope the cooperation between the two countries in the defense industry sector will leap from quantitative expansions to qualitative improvements through merger of their technology."

The signing of the contract on the ROK-Turkey technology cooperation in tank development is expected to greatly help boost the cooperation between the two countries in the defense industry sector, while the Ministry of Defense and the DAPA plan to provide full support to ensure smooth technology cooperation throughout the entire process of tank development from designing to production and testing.

Meanwhile, Defense Minister Lee held ministerial talks with his Turkish counterpart in Ankara on July 28, in which the two agreed to continue building a cooperative relationship between their militaries. The meeting was held for 50 minutes from 10 a.m. (local time).

Lee proposed the two countries continue to build on their technological cooperation in the defense industry, saying, "The countries need to maintain a strategic cooperation in the defense industry sector by complementing each other's lack of technology and through joint development and joint production."

Turkey's Defense Minister Gonul, too, suggested the countries establish a system, through which they can "jointly purchase and develop defense systems through close cooperation."
