This paper describes the turret as one of the main parts of combat armored vehicles, its role and the most common design solutions that meet the requirements. The introductory part of the paper explains the specifics of the turret and its armor protection and technological solutions to increase protection. Furthermore, the paper explains the manual and hydraulic drive of the M-84 tank turret, the main parts of the drive and their operation. The last part of the paper lists the stabilization and guidance systems of the cannon, ie turret drives on modern tanks, and describes the proposal for the installation of electric turret drive as used on such vehicles in accordance with available literature and information on modern systems. Along with the work, a 3D model of the M-84 tank turret was made in the SolidWorks program for the purpose of training and educating cadets and participants in various schooling at the HVU "Dr. Franjo Tudjman ".
