ABSTRACT:
A tank turret comprising a turret housing (2), a moveable solid front armor (3) and a weapons system including a gun barrel (4) that can be pivoted and displaced in the longitudinal direction of the gun barrel, with the front armor (3) being mounted for rearward horizontal movement and connected with the gun barrel (4) in order to increase the recoiling mass, and with a damping element (11) being disposed between the front armor (3) and the turret housing (2). In order for the vertical energy component that occurs when the weapon is elevated to be substantially compensated without any reactive influence on the weapon, a recoil brake (7,7') is provided as the connection between the gun barrel (4) and the front armor (3) and the trunnions (6) of the gun barrel cradle tube (5) are mounted within the turret housing (2).
