ABSTRACT:
A battletank having a turret with especially heavy armor for containing the weapons system and a crew whereby the minimum possible dimensions of the armor and sufficient space for the crew are achieved, the power supply installations, the electrical and electronic assemblies and the ammunition being located in spaces outside of and behind the crew's space and separated from the latter by protective bulkheads. The ammunition, in order to avoid endangering the crew, is arranged in the ammunition space such that the warheads take effect in a direction opposite to that of the crew's space. In addition, the gun sight and observation devices can be arranged outside of the crew's space. The spaces outside of the crew's space may be accessible from the outside individually through access doors and the weapons system can be retractable for loading into a loading position in which the breech of the weapon is approximately at the same height as a connecting opening between the crew's space and the ammunition space.
