FNSS, a prominent Turkish defense manufacturer, has unveiled the PARS III, a new wheeled armored vehicle featuring the advanced Teber-35 UKK remotely operated turret. This innovation aims to meet the evolving needs of modern military operations by integrating cutting-edge technology to enhance precision and versatility.

The Teber-35 UKK turret, designed for both wheeled and tracked armored vehicles, comes with an automatic medium-caliber cannon and a sophisticated targeting and fire control system. It allows remote operation by the gunner and commander through vehicle-mounted control consoles, facilitating effective command and control in challenging combat environments.

Equipped with advanced drive technology, fire control systems, survivability, and firepower capabilities, the turret ensures effectiveness in various conditions, day or night. The Teber-35 features a Mk44 40mm automatic cannon with a high rate of fire and a capacity for 200 rounds. Additionally, it can be fitted with a Bushmaster III 50mm cannon for increased firepower.

Various ammunition types, including high-explosive, armor-piercing, and programmable explosive rounds, provide versatility in targeting. A coaxial machine gun, available with either an electric chain gun or a gas-operated gun in 7.62mm caliber, complements the main armament, offering reliability and safety by enabling continuous firing without manual intervention.
