ARIFIYE, Turkey - Turkey says it has successfully modernized 171 tanks and is in talks with the government of Chile to overhaul tanks there.
Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul spoke Thursday during a ceremony to mark the modernization of German-made Leopard 1 tanks by Turkish defense company Aselsan. The company installed high-tech fire control systems on Leopard 1 A1 and A4 tanks.
The ceremony took place at a military maintenance base near the western town of Arifiye, some 90 miles (150 kilometers) east of Istanbul.
Israel Military Industries is separately upgrading 170 Turkish army M60 A1 tanks.
Turkey lately has been giving priority to developing its defense industry. It is ultimately hoping to build its own modern indigenous tank, dubbed the Altay.
