Dude, ERA blocks are supposed to be way thicker, this one in your picture is a few centimeters thin!

It seems upgrade on m-60 not fully completed but introducing a tank with domestic ERA blocks make me feel proud. BTW, Turret is perfectly shaped.

Im so proud of roketsan. But i have same concerns as Beny. Shouldnt era blocks be more thicker?

No . If ERA has more powerful explosive, Vehicle could be damaged.
The thick Armour , the heavy Armour that needs more power !
This ERA may be used not only for Tanks. The ERA could be used for IFV's.

According the link 200 tanks Armour (Leo's and m60) will be upgraded against AT rockets.
It could be ERA upgrade.

And more, why they are placed in a angle? I have never seen before!

It's probably designed to only counter ATGMs. Roketsan is also likely using newer technology than old thick Soviet plates and can make them thinner while being as effective. Heavy plates are only used to counter KE rounds. If this upgrade is for Syrian ops, they wouldn't want to waste weight with useless KE plates.

The ERA is always placed in an angle.

No . If ERA has more powerful explosive, Vehicle could be damaged.

ERA Explosion does nothing against a tank, and weak ERA wont effect enemy missiles

Site Washingtonhatti is not reliable.

Is the Ukrainian 6TD engine still being considered?

Kinda ironic how we can create sloped armor on upgrades but have yet to see it fully implemented on the Altay tank lol. I know we have AKKOR to compensate for that but why take the chance. It however leaves me with great pride to finally see our own upgrade solution with our own armor and subsystems unlike that StandarBio M60 tank upgrade. None of that Leopard2NG style armor either, just love this.

The irony is in people who don't have a clue about armour talking about what the armour on Altay should be.

The armour of Altay is top secret, as most armours. Some sources claim that it is Boron Carbide strenghtened. I care more about the tank bottom and protection against modern mines with kinetic projectiles.
