Can't that tank shoot? Niether vid showed a live fire.

As I said, this is firing-test-platform (2nd prototype).

The cannon was already tested in a stabilized platform.
Now it will be tested in real conditions, after this prototype there will be one more prototype with add-on armour.
1st prototype was for drive tests in various terrain. And designs still change (it changed from 1st to 2nd prototype).

Tank will get an electric engine.
So says the company which builds the tank.

Otokar, a Turkish automotive manufacturer specializing in commercial and military vehicles, has signaled plans to move into the production of electric tanks.

“We are thinking about producing electric tanks. This may play a significant role in the defense industry tactically in addition to being environmentally friendly,” said Otokar General Manager Serdar Görgüç
