flap. On the left, the GOC-1 main sight system is placed, with its own, armored protection plate, that can be lowered over the optics. Behind the sight, one can find the 30x172 mm ammunition magazine for the main gun. The space in the rear is taken by the electronics and turret motors. On the right of the gun, one can find controls the Spike ATGM launcher. Behind them, motors for the commander's panoramic sight and the remaining portion of turret electronics and fire control system can all be found. On the floor, one can find a sliding power-supply connector, and the fire control system. All of the components can be accessed through a user-friendly access hatch in the turret's floor, to the left of the slide connector. Outside of the turret, the Obra system's smoke grenade dispensers have been arranged - four on the left - in a linear layout. Another four have been placed on the right side of the gun. All around the turret, the Obra system's laser warning receiver sensors have been installed. On the right side, one can find an armored container, housing the dual Spike LR ATGM launcher. It can be lifted in the elevation plane and features moving front and back covers. Below, one can find the brass/link ejection port for the UKM-2000C. On the roof, the GOD-1 commander's optronic system is installed. It is fitted with a ballistic protection cover. Behind the cover, a spraying/drying system has been placed. The system is moved to the right, in relation to the symmetrical, longitudinal axis. In the back, on the pseudoniche, two masts have been placed, one is for the radio antenna, the second accommodates the fire control system's weather sensors. Assessing the general design of the ZSSW-30, one should conclude that the layout is well-thought. It has probably been developed following an in-depth analysis of global trends. And, above all, based on rich foreign deployment experience, gathered when the Hitfist-30P system was being used. The latest HSW's brainchild utilizes the best design layout possible. All critical components of the turret are protected by the armor, or by the ballistic protection covers. The turret has a low profile, yet some ANALYSIS
