If some of you might remember I "
celebrated" in a Post here, that
Turkey unseated India as the
#1 PITA. They won't be unseated anytime soon.
This is not an unheard of situation, however it's still Turkey we're talking about. Here's the "
quick and dirty".
1. The modernization program consists of 2 separate programs running in parallel.
1.a.
M60T has been upgraded to the
M60T1.
Status: Near Completion/or Completed.
1.b.
M60A3 TTS has been upgraded to the
M60TM.
Status: About to begin/or Early stage production.
1.c. It's starting to look like most or all of the components used on the
ALTAY FCS is used on these "
modernized" tanks. Not unusual as the
ABRAMS and
BRADLEY FCS's have the same core components on theirs.
Still running this down Refs are scant. Ref. provided below best so far.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!! I missed this on the first read myself about the "parallel programs". That info appears at the very bottom of the Ref.
