As part of the project, Roketsan has developed a new fighting compartment and turret for the M60A3 tanks.
The new turret, which is much more technologically advanced than the current 14.5-tonne M60A3 tank turrets, weighs 13 tonnes. The 105mm MZK gun will also be improved, with additional armour modules (ERA), laser warning receivers, a remotely controlled weapon system, and a charging machine.
According to information, the Turkish Armed Forces have more than 600 M60A3 main battle tanks in service. The TİYK-M60A3 program aims to modernise these tanks and give them capabilities similar to the M60TM.
