That is one of the modernized M-60TM Fırat Sabra main battle tanks of the Turkish Army service as it shared on the previous pages. The Fırat modernization is focused on the increase reaction time and survivability of the M60 Sabra tanks which were originally modernized by Isarel. It includes aselsan ADOP EO target designator & laser rangefinder system which enables the tank to look out while positioned into a trench without taking risk to hit by an ATGM like you see from the photo. The other items came with the modernization were new APU unit, aselsan TULS laser early warning sensors, aselsan ADIS driver day & night cameras, aselsan Sarp 12.7mm remote controlled weapon station, aselsan Pulat active protection system and 360 degree field observation goggle for the commander.

This concept is quite efficent to increase the general survivability of the tanks used in COIN operations like we used in Syria and Iraq. But my main concern was that they act too late to implement it, during the early operations conducted btw 2016 to 2018 they have lost around 15 tanks because ot the ATGMs in Syria.

Eventhough aselsan offered another solid modernization as Leopard 2NG to with the same components and add-on armour to update Turkish Army's Leopard 2A4s in 2011 they also waited to suffer field losses before deciding to to impement it in 2019. And now we are relying on around 165 units of modern M60TM Fırat-Sabra and 334 units of "realtively modern" Leopard 2A4s to cover our troops in Syria due to the recent problems faced by the serial production of Altay MBT.

That's a pretty impressive looking upgrade. Being able to observe whilst mark and record targets from cover will be a very good capability. Unsure how far along it is but next step would be integrating it into a battle management system to allow sharing of info and handing over or marking targets for others. No doubt this is either being looked at or done.

Nöbetçi Astsubay - Sergeant at Watch , it's an arm badge given to the personnel who are on their guard duty at the military bases to make it clear who are in charge of the base security. They alsohas Nöbetçi Subay - Officer at Watch arm badges for the officers on guard duty as well.

For the military police, it's generally done by Gendarmerie units but Army has its own type of military police called "Askeri İnzibat" whose main duties are to deal with runaway conscripts and enforce law and order inside the military bases.

It can share the GPS coordinates of the targets it designated not with a link transfer interface but with radio and also laser guided weapons can engage targets illuminated by it's laser designator.
