Once there was a requirement for up to 400 panter howitzers for the Turkish army, later this requirement was lowered to 138 but the number of acquired howitzers did not pass 40 pieces, a small number have been sold to Pakistan.
A couple of years ago MKEK started an improvement project for the panter howitzers (appearantly the howitzer suffered various defiancies) but still it did not lead to more orders from the Turkish army and the howitzer is quietly left to her fate. Probably another failure for MKEK.
