Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8104554A1] A turret assembly, particularly for an armoured vehicle, comprises a rotating turret provided with side members projecting upwardly. The side members straddle a large caliber gun and include bearing means defining an elevation axis for the gun. The gun has a shield which cooperates with the side members to define a protective passage for a gun loading conveyor. The conveyor is adapted to carry shells one at a time from a loading station inside the turret to a location inside the shield. Each shell in turn is rammed into the gun after it has been carried by the conveyor into the shield.
