Fallout Re: MBT's

I agree that's the right course concerning the M-60A3/A3TTS. I couldn't find any pictures either from before I posted my last and up to a few minutes ago.

Also I have translated the following from the lower right corner where the date is located for each tank...HIZMETE GIRIS TARIHI

GOOGLE = DATE OF SERVICE INPUT
FreeTranslations.org = HIZMETE AUTHORIZATION FOR ENTRANCE
MS = Date of entry to the service
stars21.com/translator/turkish_to_english.html = service entry date

Turkish government source with Turkish assigned dates when those tanks entered service. This will be a key component to fixing the Turkish OOB amongst a handful of other refs. I can't wait!?!

Regards,
Pat
