Just got some information in from a contact in Jordan. The factory he works at is making a number of turrets for an undisclosed foreign buyer.

The turret sides are nearly 5-foot tall with large slab sides but the roof is actually about 12-inches lower.

They also have:

1. Small brackets on sides/front/rear for an unidentified additional fitting.
2. Armoured glass view ports in all sides.
3. Raised central commanders cupola with pintle mount & shield.
4. Single two-piece square flat hatch.
5. A circular hatch at each rear corner of the turret roof with pintle mount.
6. Main armament not fitted but fittings are for an M150 mount.
7. 185-inch turret ring.

So which tank are they destined for and what is the main armament?

Cool
