That machine looks heavy! What kind of turret is that? Is this something made by russians or it is an egyptian invention? Well done!

Soviet tank + Soviet gun + local welding
The bottom and part of the front corners of the T-34/85 turret can still be seen

Walkaround photos showing more details

original turret wall with old lifting hook is visible. Click image to see larger version

which had the gun on an open platform
