ROKETSAN MZK Tower is ready to serve TAF

MZK (Modular Armored Tower), developed by ROKETSAN, was integrated into the chassis of the M60A3 tank. MZK that can be integrated into M60A3 and T-72 tanks; It will significantly increase survivability with sensors such as passive and reactive armor protection and laser warning systems.

The 13-tonne MZK, lighter than the existing turrets (the T-72 turret weighs 18 tons, while the M60A3 turret weighs 14.5 tons); It provides increased protection against RPG, anti-tank, APFSDS ammunition and automatic cannon munitions up to 30mm.

The MZK, which has sharp lines and a low structure, provides increased protection especially against tandem-headed anti-tank missiles thanks to the ERA blocks located on the front, sides and top. As it is known, modern anti-tank missiles have a "top-attack" mode that allows them to dive from the more unprotected upper parts of the target. In this respect, the presence of ERA blocks on the top can be considered as an important feature in terms of countering modern threats.

Apart from armor, there are Laser Warning Receivers and Situational Awareness systems with 360-degree coverage on the MZK, which contributes to survivability by increasing situational awareness. Remote Controlled Weapon Systems can also be integrated into the tower.
