Turkey needs a lot of that armor elsewhere — like on the border with Russia. In addition, much of the Turkish armor is out of date — M60’s & M48’s. They only have around 400 Leopard 2A4’s. Bet you know where they are stationed (not Syria).

Although as with the F-4 Phantoms Turkey uses these M-48s and 60s have been upgraded with Israeli help.

The big question will be: how many Syrian soldiers are going to want to fight Turkey in order to keep the Assad regime in power?

170 of those M60 tanks are M60T or Sabras. These have Steel laminate armour, 120mm main gun, a new suspension, and new fire control. These are thoroughly modern tanks and are far superior to most Syrian weapons. Syria does have 320 Russian T-80 tanks and 10 T-84s.
