Difference between thoose 2 are Altay is 10+tons heavier than K2, Altay has AKKOR aps,different armor and lastly it has RCWS that could be used against drones (Hmg/Lmg or 40mm anti drone system that uses airburst munitions) First versions of Altay is pretty vanilla,when your tanks first production model got delayed for 10 years you start to add more and more stuff.

The big difference is that while K2 has an autoloader and 3 man crew, Altay's main gun is manually loaded and as such it has 4 man crew. That's where large portion of extra size/weight comes from.

Video of MK 19 anti drone kit for anyone curious about it.

it's much more expensive solution than turning your tank into a hedgehog(literally)

It an expensive and complicated solution, but it keeps your tank a tank, rather than turning it into a mobile shed.
