So, inside the same Turks will be. And yes, they had already been modernized earlier, and it seems that then not only slippers have raped the Turks:

It's just that this trash is not a pity and no one has "image" losses.

Honestly, the M-60 must be sold to Africa, for modern combat, the car is outdated and no all-round sensors can save the car.
