Turkey’s domestic and national defense industry projects continue without slowing down. FNSS, which stands out with the armored vehicles it produces, recently came to the fore with the YouTube video it prepared for TEBER-35. FNSS did the test that the Germans did by putting alcoholic beverages into the turret barrel, using our national drink, ayran. Here is the buttermilk tank test conducted by FNSS for TEBER-35 and its details…
Ayran tank stabilization test for FNSS TEBER-35!
Turkey’s manufacturer of heavy armored and armored land vehicles, FNSS, recently released a video. There were two leading actors in the video, which was a reference to German engineering. The first one was FNSS TEBER-35 and the second one was our national drink ayran.
When you think of ayran, you may first think of a drink that activates the cooling systems of engineers on a hot summer day. However, this time FNSS test engineers showed us a tank test with buttermilk. Thanks to this test, a stabilization test was performed on the TEBER-35 tower on the PARS IV 8×8.

The test was completed successfully. It traveled in rough terrain for a while with the TEBER-35 tower on the PARS IV 8×8. Towards the end of the video, the test personnel came out of the stopped vehicle and confirmed that the buttermilk had not spilled. Then he drank the ayran with pleasure. So what does this test show us?
As you know, tank turrets are the components containing the barrel from which the bullet is fired. If the barrel stabilization is disrupted while the vehicles are traveling on rough terrain, the personnel cannot hit the targets easily. Thanks to this test, it was shown to us that the FNSS TEBER-35 barrel will lock on the specified target without deviating in all kinds of terrain conditions.
As for the reference to German engineers, a reference was made to a test video made with Leopard 2 in recent years. German engineers put an alcoholic beverage into the barrels of Leopard 2 tanks and conducted the same test.
