It is basically a G6 turret, but has been repackaged to incorporate an APU and ammunition storage. The T6 has been tested by integrating it with the reliable T72 MBT chassis, and in this configuration it is a definite win combination. Distances of over 39 km can be achieved with ERFB base bleed ammunition. Firing trials have proved the T72 MBT be a very stable firing platform with no spades or support systems required.
Ammunition is stored in the turret bustle on both sides of the power unit.
40 Projectiles and 32 charges can be stored vertically on hydraulically driven carousels. A projectile transfer arm may be fitted to reduce crew fatigue. The turret is of all welded steel armour construction, giving protection from 7,62 AP armour piercing small arms fire and shell splinters. It is a completely autonomous unit in terms of power supply and ammunition storage. The power unit is centrally mounted in the turret bustle to supply power for all electrical and hydraulic sub-systems.
