Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2023
- Roketsan’s modular armoured turret MZK developed for M60A3 tanks started serving the Turkish Armed Forces. Roketsan has presented its modular tank turret on its social media account, saying it is now in service with the Turkish Army. The modernisation is part of the TİYK-M60A3 modernisation project. TİYK means Additional Capacity Gaining for Tanks, its Turkish meaning is Tanklara İlave Yetenek Kazandırma.

M60 : please let me die
Basically it's new tank only the basis are the m60.
lool
T-55s: First time?
As u can see not even the leo2 tanks safe. İn our age a tank can only help ground personel. Because without soldier cover a tank can be destroyed easily.
So no need to new tank chasis o guess :)
year 2100 "Turkey just launched m60x with railgun turret"
Lol, literally why not? These tanks are getting turned into really good fire support systems. They are not meant for tank battles or pushes. We really don't rely on tanks at all.
And F-4XFM Stealth Phantom IX Super Terminator Block 90 of course lmao
Turkey just love his first wife that much man
if you have thousands of them, its not that easy to buy 2000 new tanks. turkiye will produce around 300 altay mbt's but the m60 will stay in service for longer time. even m48 are in service, mainly as stationar army base protection against pkk. why not. they do not face other tanks, only pkk fighters.
Is it logical to buy a new tank or to convert the 600 tanks you have? Your mind and the state's mind cannot be the same.
A new turret, a lighter one, certainly couldn't hurt. The performance of the M60 was always a little less sprightly than the M48 because of the weight of new turret.
And, the new turret has a much lower profile. If gun depression wasn't sacrificed, then that's a plus as well.
This seems like a more comprehensive approach to keeping an M60 fleet viable than Israel's Sabra program.
My only concern is that, as shown, the hulls armor hasn't been upgraded. A lot of the weight saved in the turret has to go there.
They will be rendered unmanned.
it must have an autoloader?
From footage 2:20, Yes
I suppose that they will go for active protection like Akkor and/or Pulat anyway
well i just can't wait to see that this "Rocketsan new armoured tank turret" which was built from the country of Turkey, could also be install and mounted to the T-72 tank chassis, i just could only imagine what would it be, and what its look like. perhaps this could be the solution for its great weakness of this main battle tank.
Actually they have upgrade packages for the t-72 tank they upgraded the Azerbaijani ones
@@Truth_huntersONEwow i am so glad to learn that, thank you for sharing that info bro 👍👍
Beautiful Tank, the M60 was always a good solid Tank, upgrades are impressive!
Bu taret coğrafyamızdan en çok karşılaştığımız asimetrik tehditlere karşı geliştirildi.
Turrent looks like T-90M and T-90MS
Already made for t90 modernization tenders
Kazakhstan built the T-90 tower. When he manufactured it, he changed it to m-60. but it was nice. There is no ammunition under the turret like the T-90. in the warehouse behind. but it was nice.
the driver can’t get out if the turret is facing forward
@@michealjackson8269 i think driver needs to get in turret and than out.
Yes, it's rented turret by russians
Well done Turkey with the upgrade.
Looks really nice. Even though the turret is lighter I hope they upgraded the engine. 60’s we’re never known for great acceleration or really fast.
it already has upgraded engine
Taiwan also has an abundance of M60 tanks. Maybe this retrofit turret could be purchased and used.
My concern is electronics. New generation tanks have lots of onboard electronics that stay running even when parked and the main powerplant isn't running. Is there an auxiliary generator add-on available?
Good idea, but You can easily imagine PRC's response to that. Doesn't sound so realistic to me.
Turkey wouldn't want to hurt their relations with PRC.
M48s
Bad ass turret shape, looks like a good fit
I saw the upgrade to the M60’s drivetrain, it was Seriously impressive
As an old M60a3 tanker it's good to see a old pig get a new life 😀
The American military probably has thousands of these in storage. Wouldn't it be cheaper to upgrade them into a light tank similar to the Turkish model. Instead of wasting taxpayers money to build a whole new tank??????!
yes true but in a war you need every weapons you can find to add it into your arsenal
i guess you are right my friend 👍
Millitary Industrial Complex wont let that
Nice new turret...great idea...but one of the M-60's big weaknesses is its heat signature from its engine and exhaust which makes it easy to spot and easier to hit. Having said that, if I had a bunch of M-60 tanks I think this new turret would be a great addition...well done.
On behalf of my country, thank you, my friend...
Wow, I guess you've never crewed a tank have you?
Every tank gives off heat. When you are moving 40 to 70 tons around, your engine is going to get a bit warm.
The M60's engine gives off no more heat that the LEO's or a T-72.
And and before you ask, I've seen both through TTS, so I know.
Please don't confuse War Thunder with real life, trooper.
@@Waltham1892 I guess you know next to nothing about tanks and how to attack them. The M-60 tank was a relatively good tank but like all tanks it had particular weaknesses. One of the stand out weaknesses was it's heat signature...it was a very "hot" tank compared to others. The dual exhausts mounted right up on top of the rear deck literally glowed, especially at night. Many other tanks place their exhausts lower on the rear or at the sides where the heat signature is less visible to IR sensors. Tankers have to "warm up their vehicles", primarily to test their systems, recharge batteries, etc....well you could pick out M-60's even in hull down positions from a distance using IR scopes. It was one of the main criticisms of the tank.
Need to upgrade the engine then too
So heat engine is a problem why not put heat filter at the exhaust or heat chamber to conceal heat.
This is a good alternative to a rusty M-60 tank stored in a junkyard and it's cheaper than buying a new light/medium tank
This Was A Wise Decision For The Turkish Government To Modernize The M60 Tank Turret? Smart Strategic Way To Save Money 💯👍🏿👍🏿
Beautiful design 🎉
the turret front is so small that is more probable to be hit on the turret ring like that also the composite dont seem so big to stop a modern apdsfs maybe an older atgm with era installed yes... its not so special continue using the sabra...although the laser warning is good
Kazakhstan built the T-90 tower. When he manufactured it, he changed it to m-60. but it was nice. There is no ammunition under the turret like the T-90. in the warehouse behind. but it was nice.
Well done Turkey, giving new life to old vehicles and keeping them relevant.
And New tanks started to be produced. (Altay tank) turkish
@@AykutYAVUZ-yx8fc
Imagine if Turkey got M60-2000
As a turkish person that working in the rocketsan,i can confirm we made old tank are better,like the leopard too
Sabra modeli hakkında ne düşünüyorsunuz, sizce o konfigürasyonla bunu kıyaslarsak ne gibi artı ve eksileri var?
@@EternalFireFannormalde sabre tank değil ifv fakat m60 patton zırh koruması ve silah gücü ile kolayca yok eder
@@alithecommunistgopnik3463
Which M60 model in particular is in use by the Turkish armed forces?
Also, greetings from another communistgopnik, Ali my mate!
@@matovicmmilan usually standart m60, but a1 and a2 variants used most
looks really good !
old boy's still got it... wouldn't mind seeing what that turret looks like on the Leopard 2 and T-72 as it was mentioned in the video.
The from section of the Turret looks quite like Halo's Scorpion's one
there is videogame media in the intro promo lol
GO TURKEY! This upgrade rocks!
pretty large shot pocket they have there.
Shot trap ?
Mostly irrelevant these days.
Rods will penetrate near 83~84 degrees from vertical armor.
The turret ring is vulnerable in just about all modern tanks.
HEAT will fuse correctly till about 81 degrees.
Sounds like someone is trying to offload M60s in Ukraine. Not a bad sales pitch.
no we arent this is made for middle east conditions it woudnt do that well on muddy fields i mean it would still knock out vehicles but it was made for desert not the forest terrain
Interesting new design…👍🏻
Looks nice..😎
With this turret system the gun options are an interesting choice. On the M-60 hull this turret is only available with the 105mm, while on the T-72 hull it's available with the 125mm or 105mm. With the 105mm gun it has a 18 rounds bustle autoloader, while with the 125mm gun it uses the carossel 22 rounds autoloader. In addition it's interesting that they didn't try to use the 120mm gun, which is the newer NATO standard
Yup. 105 is a very strange choice of caliber.
Awesome! If you can't get the Altay in serial production you may as well make your old Pattons look like an Altay...😉
I guess those tanks would be primarily used in defensive roles where they could stay hull-down most of the time...
That looks like what we would have done if my country have been successful at getting M60s back in the 70s.
Yes definitely.
That looks awesome.
Interesting.
0:21 is a gun from a video game called Planetside 2 rofl
Formidable!
Kule bağlantısının alt kısmının ters koniklik nedeniyle açıkta kalıyor olması sakıncalı. Bu konuda bir çok explicit analiz ve paper mevcut.
muhtemelen hem M60lara hemde sovyet tanklarına uysun diye o şekilde tasarlanmıştır. İhraç potansiyeli de düşünülüyor.
Kanımca Merkava tankları'ndaki gibi zincir veya tel koyma ihtimalleri var.
I think it looks cool
Sehr interessant 👍
m60 was only the begining of modernisations in our Military. and just a testimony of capabilities of our proudly "ASELSAN" corp.
next will be M48 tanks until we have ALTAY tank ready to serve. also there will be upgrades specific to remove tank weaknesses just like a adoptation of new warfare concept of nowadays. keep up the hard work ASELSAN. be prise engineers workers of Turkish Republic.
This is smart.
Mummy, i want t-90!
Son, we have t-90 at home
t-90 at home:
Im curious, would it be possible for the cockerill 3105 to be fitted on an m60 chassis?
When you fully upgrade the starting weapon.
If it's cost effective than it's a success
Looks great.... Legendary M-60 lives on
this can be fitted on soviet tanks too
that was also what i had in mind my friend 👍👍
i think this turret can be perfectly installed to the T-72 tank chassis, which has some big problem to its main gun munition compartments.
There's no intention from Turkish A.F. for this new turret design, since there's alr some mod. programs going for M60's in use. This one is more likely for international market, especially for intermediate armies who use T72&M60s as their MBTs. + no any clue for it's compatibleness on Leo2s.
Now they just need to up armor the front hull
This package is not meant only for M-60 but also T-72s
not bad needs more grill rails tho , rockets are the main antagonist of tanks
Savunma sistemi var ...akkor....
I thought this tank was completely gone world wide. I personally took part in demilling thousands of the M60, the M60 starships and the M48's in the the last 90's. I would see M60's & M48's with 5hrs run time and 15/20 miles on them. By the time we was done with them they where 2x2 chunks of scrap metals and loaded into open top train box cars for melting. I can tell you that once the turret was removed from the M60 the suspension would raise up 4 foot and they would do every bit of 65mph and feel like you was floating across the earth.
I still am not getting use to M60 without a fat turret
2:30 how can 125 mm hold more rounds than 105? also what kind of auto loader is it since 125mm come as 2 piece ammo or is there 1 piece 125mm too?
probably because the 125mm is 2 piece ammo meaning more can be crammed in the same space without total length of the round becoming an issue unlike with 105 where APFSDS shells are up to 1.1 meters long in some cases which is not conducive to storage within a tank.
@@123asap6 well if its auto loader 2 piece ammo needs russian style auto loader but thats in hull not turret and that makes little sense... i dont know needs more data.
It appears to have a LeClerc style bustle autoloader. So the rounds are lined up like matches in a matchbox. L7 105mm cartridge cases are larger in diameter at the base than 2A46 125mm propellant cases, which are about the same diameter as the projectile. This would account for the difference in round count.
M60 with t90m turret basically
yeah so this is one of those light tank fire support vehicles, smaller gun and all....Altay is their main battle tank
Naw looks like it's mad small inside as I was a driver/ loader for the original M6A3(19f in the USA army) . The original weighted @ 57 tons
Without track skirts. Looks more like the turret on the Abrahams. What pissed me off is the USA has in storage over 1,250 which couldn't been send to Ukraine. 😊
We made the turret, now we only need to make a hull to have our own national tank (except altay, thats still a prototype}
T-72 Patton
That amazing Turkey.
This is a good design
interesting
Esa torreta se parece demasiado a la del t90m proryv. Pero su cañon no da mas que para cazacarros.
Can put SPAAG turret on that chassis too.

Why is the side not protected ???
What type of era?
T72 have80tons are u surious????
T72 version is a 125mm canon ?
Ive heard that is L7 105mm
it is
The Eastern & Western Bloc? And here I thought that the Cold War ended in 1991. The more you know!
I wonder who still manufacturing parts for an M 60 tank we had enough hard problem getting them in late 70s
So the manufacturer is claiming it can survive a Javelin hit from above?
Looks like it has a big shot trap on the front
Looks like a shot trap under the front of the turret
Where is the optics
y'all realise it's fitted to a 70 year old platform?
the turret on 05:00 isn't mzk turret, that's a turret designed by the indonesian army r&d department to replace cockerill 3105 on the kaplan MT since it's to expensive

m60 chassis is way too old, please update
No one can say the Turks cant innovate
Nice a new Tank for my Collection in War Thunder😂
👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🧿🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Wonder when this will be added in war thunder
Well done Turkiye ☪️💪🏾
Warthunder players: it mytime to shine
Am I the only one that sees a huge shot trap?
Smooshed m60
T90M turret, Turkish adaptation
So impressed by the t90 turret that they tried to copy it...but worse.
Taiwan needs to buy these for their M60s.
It looks like a T 90 ms
Reminds me of a hammer head shark.
Looks really nice but will it perform
🇹🇷💯%💪

1:02 That's a Leopard 2...
Just stick a ABRAMS turret on it....
Kazakhstan built the T-90 tower. When he manufactured it, he changed it to m-60. but it was nice. There is no ammunition under the turret like the T-90. in the warehouse behind. but it was nice.
That’s called the M60-2000 upgrade developed by General Dynamics and no one bought it because it failed, the Abrams turret is too heavy for the M60 chassis
Yes I know I worked on that project..... I know the project on I personally suggested a better of grade package I was removed from position went to another defense company ... and worked on many other ARMORED vehicle upgrades tha you M-60 GUY for a excellent education on this project. ...... my sarcastic comment was about the 2000 I guess you thought I was some stupid old "gal" agin thank you for the information ‼‼🙋♀️

M60 tanks used for target item in the shooting range in many of Armies😁🤣😜👍
Good job Turkish Defense engineers! You recycled it well!
