The FNSS Saber 25 one-man medium-calibre armoured vehicle turret completed qualification trials in June. Source: FNSS
FNSS has completed qualification tests of its new Saber 25 one-man armoured vehicle turret, the Turkish combat vehicle and weapon system company announced on 13 August.
The trials were conducted from 22-26 June at the Turkish Ministry of National Defence's Konya Karapinar range. For the trials the turret was fitted to an FNSS Pars infantry fighting vehicle, and included stationary and mobile firings of both the turret's stabilised ATK M242 25 mm dual-feed cannon and its coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun.
Saber 25 was unveiled by FNSS at IDEX 2015 in February, and is based on its experience with its Sharpshooter turrets. Compared with Sharpshooter, Saber offers 60% more internal volume with only a 10% increase in external dimensions.
