And no FCS...my guess would be to wait for IDEF

Yeah I guess this is not yet the full version but just demonstration of tower integration

The previous modernization videos from Roketsan, and Aselsan have shown us a more complete picture. As you mentioned this can not be the final product.

Why does the turret look like this one?

Is the back compartment for an autoloader?

FFS invest in modern MBT and IFV, modernizing ancient sh*t all the time will not get you anywhere, plan for the long term and not the next 5-10 years.

This turret can be used in various vehicles and this is why I am excited about it. We might have finally found our alternative to Cockerill turrets.

Yes it has an autoloader, and yes it is based on the Russian turret.

The purpose of this whole project is to make Turkish M60a3 which are stationed in Armenia and Azerbaijan border and Azerbaijani T72s have common infrastructure so it can enable the units if TSK near Azerbaijan fight along Azerbaijani units easier in case of War, or at least that's what I have understood from reading statements from people with knowledge of this project.

My God, you know the situation

If we can gain a modern medium weight tank option of around 35 tons (air transportable) with a domestic engine, transmission and 105/120mm turret, it may be possible to export it in really high quantities.

Rocketsan's turret is looking awesome. But they would need a new hull with thicker armor. KAPLAN MT's hull is too thin. (One of the reason it lost to VT-5 in BD Army's competition) I guess Otokar can easily pull this off since they developed the ALTAY. (Or BMC, as now they have the full technology of ALTAY)

I just noticed the gun barrel is rifled.

Yes 105mm rifled cannon just like the old M60s.

All 105mm tank guns are rifled. İt needs very complicated service, cleaning. İt has less lifespan. That's why the new120mm caliber is smooth.
The first soviets invented smoothbore tankgun.

Then you could Photoshop it

The new, modular turret with 105mm gun from Rocketsan. Not just for M60s!

Wonder why there is no modular armor on the sides tho. And in case of emergency how fast can driver can get out of the tank? It seems they need to turn the turret little bit.

Driver could escape through the turret. AFAIK under the tank there is an emergency exit.

Only the front side seems well protected.

Hyundai Rotem's K3 concept from last year. World's advancing rapidly as we play catch up.

Just two tank crew and they are seperated . İt's far from ALTAYs or K2 design.Altay with Unmanned tank turret would not be as same as this K3.
