That’s some thick roof armor

it local thickering around commander vision block cutouts, to prevent cracking in main cast 

roof iteself nothing special 

"lip" around the corners later also will be removed 

some parts will get weld in reinforcements etc

Mk4 loading mechanism

Mk1

M1A1/2 turret base structure...maybe....

Merkava Mk.4 mantlet armor module

some thoughts on 477A based on available info 

140mm

peak UVZ, we made new turret, but it worse than T-90A turret in every aspekt, even can't place MG inside withou creating new cut in armor...

strange turret anyway 

both CAD models for K2, i'm talking only about similarity of design of trunnions between K1 and K2

high res of this pic 

interesting that they still use K1/K1A1 type of trunnion holders with 8 bolts screwed in from inside

about Duplet ERA and Oplot-M turret, 1st laye seems to throm cut piece plate on threat, second plate protected by damper throw full plate on it, but jsut theory 

@Bronezhilet

as for turret plates can be seen here

maybe there is more pocket hole plates, i'm sure only about 2 

Type 85 modernized turret

Hi, i think this was about addon armor pack mainly ?
