Lore:
As the modern age continues to advance, tank technology is also evolving, new MBTs emerged from countries and Türkiye will be not left behind this arms race. The TK-1 "GERGEDAN" is the newest in Türkiye's arsenal, development beginning in 2024 finishing in 2028, trials starting at 2029, and its reveal at the 2030 military parade in the capital city Ankara. The TK-1s design being inspired by both Western and Eastern European tank designs offer the best of both, using the advantages of both design doctrines the TK-1 only has a few disadvantages against its counterparts. Will the TK-1 be the new epitome of modern tank design and engineering marvel, or would it be an over engineered and cost inefficient failure. Only time would tell.

@Onat67 I made a promise, I've been busy but I always try to fulfill what I said I would do, the real challenge here was to find time lol. I somehow managed to finish what I deemed passable, even though I had more features in mind I just think that I won't have the time to do it. Too bad for the challenge it didn't really got that many submissions maybe the next one will. Cheer up and let's both hope for the best in the next challenge of yours, I'll be joining it ofcourse.
Thank you very much! You can't even imagine how much this means to me. I was really upset until now because I started this challenge with great hopes and now, at least finally there is an interest from an old friend. Thank you again.
