Talk:List of equipment of the Turkish Land Forces

message: This page has a lot of horrendous inaccuracies, and the "Leopard 1T" nomenclature is one of them. There is no "Leopard 1T", the Turkish Army has a number of ex-German Leopard 1A3 (mostly downgraded former German Leopard 1A4s) and Leopard 1A1A1 tanks. Starting with the Leopard 1A1A1s, all Leopard 1s in Turkish service are being upgraded with the Aselsan VOLKAN fire control system. Some people prefer to call this configuration "Leopard 1T", but it is not an official designation.
If you have the source for it,you can edit whatever it is inaccurate.  IR-TheFirstSoldier (talk) 15:27, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: "Leopard 1T" nomenclature

message: Is it right that the Turkish Army uses HMMWV? Even if this is correct, at least the manufacturer is not right, because MKEK doesn't produce vehicles (see MKEK's webpage: http://www.mkek.gov.tr/english/foUrunler.aspx). Can somebody verify this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.131.20.28 (talk) 21:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A good question.  I would take most of what you see with a grain of salt unless it has a citation.  Unfortunately wikipages listing a country's military equipment often become targets for editors who want to built 'fantasy' armies rather than accurately represent what the country has.  This page, unfortunately, has been a victim of that at sometime in the past, so it's difficult to tell what is and isn't accurate.  I've been trying to track down as many reliable or even semi-reliable sources as possible.  Any other good sources on Turkish Army equipment are welcome - Jonathon A H (talk) 01:09, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Good to know.  Do you have any references?  Or a number of HMMWVs in Turkish service?  Would be helpful so the HMMWV can be put back in the table. :) Thanks. -Jonathon A H (talk) 16:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Turkey buying Ah-64 Apache? 

message: In reference to the current table format - The tables are currently set up with a consistent size (90% width), mostly consistent column headers (caliber where quantity is impractical) and grouped in a nested hierarchy for the sake of categorization in the Contents menu.  They're also grouped by relative cost/size/complexity starting with infantry small arms through aircraft.  Future procurements are also kept separate to avoid confusion with what is currently in service, and what may/will be in service sometime in the future.  Is there any logical reason that the table keeps getting re-ordered, the hierarchy and references removed, the order randomized, and the future procurements rolled back into the current, in-service systems? Thanks... - Jonathon A H (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

message: S-400 is part of Turkish air force not land forces. And this page is about equipment of the Turkish Land Forces not air force.  Please stop adding false information. Shadow4dark (talk) 16:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  S-400 

message: Hey guys you guys should stop cramping up useless information to the page. 
* First; high payload UAVs such as Anka or Heron etc. they all go to Air Force's command. Not Land Forces. Aksungur will - of course - also go to Air Force 'IF' it gets into the inventory. There are no confirmed purchases of it. So stop adding it anyway.
* Secondly; all high altitude air defence such as S400 and Hisar-U also go to Air Force. But lower air defences such as Bofors and Korkut go to Land Forces.
* Third; there are no confirmed purchases of Tulpar, Aksungur, and Kaplan as a Middle Tank. Kaplan is only ordered for Tank Destroyer role. So stop adding them as they are in the inventory.  
Oh and please stop adding false citations. None of the TULPAR's nor KAPLAN's links doesn't say anything about government procurement. I also had to revert some minor details such as updated numbers and photos. You can feel free to add them back. I'm not on an edit war, just some clarifications.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :List of equipment of the Turkish Land Forces's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
