The M18 Hellcat was used by the Turkish Armed Forces starting in the 1950s. Turkey received these tank destroyers as part of military aid from the United States after World War II. The M18 Hellcat served in the Turkish Army until the 1970s, before being gradually replaced by more modern models.
The M18 Hellcat was used by the Turkish Armed Forces primarily for defensive purposes and anti-tank operations. As a NATO member during the Cold War, Turkey deployed these vehicles particularly in border regions to counter potential threats from the Warsaw Pact.
Primary Areas of Deployment:
Greek-Turkish Border: Due to the tense relations between Turkey and Greece at the time, especially during the Cyprus crisis, M18 Hellcats were stationed in border areas as part of Turkey’s defense strategy.
Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia: These regions bordered the Soviet Union (modern-day Armenia and Georgia) and the Middle East, making them strategically significant. Turkey placed anti-tank units there to defend against potential threats from those directions.
Military Exercises and NATO Maneuvers: The M18 Hellcat participated in various NATO exercises where the Turkish Army trained its defensive strategies and cooperation with NATO allies. These drills often took place in the western and central parts of Turkey.
Although the M18 Hellcat did not see significant combat during its service in Turkey, it played an important role in preparing for potential threats within the context of the Cold War.
Turkish Expeditionary Force were given various US vehicles to operate, and even though M16 MGMC were one of them, we did not operate any M18 in Korea or bought any.

Overall, this information is false, Turkey did not operate any M18 Hellcats.
The MZK 105 turret has undergone further development and hence have received a new designation as MAT.
Because of the 105mm low recoil gun the turret can be installed on wheeled platforms
Also Azerbaijani subtree could be added as well with lot’s of Soviet/Russian vehicles alongside Israeli SPAA and Pakistani JF-17’s to fill the tech tree.
Here’s a list of what could be added: MBTs: T-72B, T-90S Light Tanks: BMP-1/2/3, BMD-1 SPAAs: SPYDER, Barak 8, Strelas, 9K33 OSA, 9K332 Tor-M2E
There isn’t much in ground tree, but for air, I would really like see JF-17 and Su-25ML Lachin with Turkish upgrades, these will actually be different and unique additions.
Well, I only said this because Kazakhs already have a vehicle in the game by the name of the Su-25BM, anything indigenous and Soviet decent would just go to that tree. I can get it if it’s a Turkish vehicle though.
