I believe these are new (for here) photos of Numba One MBT of World in construction.
 

 
This CAD drawing also shows glorious thickness of hull protective scheme.

Not that I know of. But looking at the development time that is contracted for the 900-1000hp (UTKU) engine until ready for serial production the 1500hp could have a comparable development time (68 months) of which 36 months still remain.

But in a very recent interview, the director of the company tasked to develop these engines (BMC Power) stated that in a wartime scenario they could skip the whole testing and integration phase and put the powerpack immediately to work in the Altay.
 
It is in Turkish so you'll have to excuse me:

Lots of AFV development coming out of Turkey. Apart from the vehicles themselves, they are also focusing on powerpacks with various power outputs. 380hp, 600hp diesel engines are fielded or ready to be used. 360hp, 450hp, 530hp, 630hp and 1000hp engines all from different companies (BMC and Tumosan) are currently being tested with the 1500hp engine going to be ignited for the first time in coming April/May.
 
If they succeed in achieving all of this, the tank engine market will get another competitor with less stringent user requirements which will make the few companies in this sector at the very least nervous, and at the most force them out of business. *cough... cough.... MTU cough..cough..
 


 
 

Come on guys, this LEOCLERCtm is obviously just to show the world that Germans and French can indeed cooperate on tank design, how small and lack of innovation of this LEOCLERCtm is. Let us see what they have in store in a couple years, granted that the cooperation lasts...

You can see different multiple layers around the driver's hatch, it's barely visible though. It looks to me like multiple layers but I could be wrong.

Aside from the flipflops in a tank factory, it seems that the UFP is made of some sort of multi-layer armor.
 
It looks like they took the leopard 2 design and made it worse on purpose in every aspect possible. Deleting the special armor array behind the gunners sight, having no armored ammo compartment in the turret bustle with blow-out panels, having a rifled 120mm gun, having an engine based on the leopard 1 engine and having worse turret side armor coverage.
 
The leopard 2 has it's design flaws and the Indians manged to amplify that. Kudos to them for achieving that.
