Photos Turkish Military Forces

These are M48A5T2, which were converted from M48A2C with MTU 850 HP diesel engine, new transmisison and 105mm M68 main gun with M60A3 fire control system and thermal gunner sights and M60 tracks btw 1982-1990s. At its peak 1,389 M48A5T1 and 758 M48A5T2 were serving the Turkish Army. Currently only the M48A5T2s are kept in service due to their relatively modern engine and thermal sights. Therefore they are mostly using to provide mobile fire support in low intense inter-border security operations.

Here is the current tank inventory of Turkish military which I have also shared on the first page.

Thank you for this very interesting and complete response.

Yes nowadays the M48's are fire support tool, kind of light tank , and with modern ammunition he can play tank destroyer missions. Even with years, it is still a beast, all the family M48-M60 very solid tanks still in service in second or third lines, in support of more heavy tanks Leopard/Abrams.

Mil-Mi-17s of the Gendarmeire Aviation are received in return of Russian foreing trade debts to us alongside with the MZKT Volat carriers and BTR-80s in mid 1990s and has nothing to do with PLA which originally stands for People Liberation Army.....

According to the news Turkish land Forces decided to update it's MKE T-155 Panter 155mm 52 cal packed howitzers by placing them on 8x8 military carrier with ballistic radar, digital communications and data transfer interface and aselsan ADOP-2000 EO fire control system.


Here are the systems designed over the same idea, aselsan Asya and MKE Yavuz, using the same 155mm Panter gun and digital components which is gonna implement on Turkish Army issue Panters. So we could expect to see something similar with these but on 8x8 carrier.

Commemorative post of the Turkish Navy Dumlupınar submarine which colluded with a Swedish cargo ship passing the Dardanelles and sunk with the 81 sailor in her on this day in 1948. Local fishermen found her rescue buoy and got contacted with the survived crew with the telephone on it and noticed the officials however all of the efforts due to the strong undercurrents and the dept she was settled rescue teams can not connect with the submarine. I am sharing few pics of the rescue operation with it.
