I refer to the Israeli major rebuild (more than an upgrade, really) of the M60A1, for which a new factory has been built in Kayseri. 120mm gun, more armour, new FCS, new engine, new tracks . . .
As I understand it, a contract has been signed for 170 tanks to be rebuilt. Has anyone any knowledge of
1) the progress of the work?
2) what is happening vis-a-vis the additional M60 which might be rebuilt? AFAIK Turkey has about 900 M60.
3) whether the purchase of used Leopard 2A4 has affected 2)?
