Yup, that’s the ex-German 2A4 type that Turkey bought from Germany. It has tungsten-titanium turret armor upgrades but no reactive armor, no Chobham/composite armor and the hull armor sucks against modern APFSDS rounds to the sides and rear. Nice big flat vertical surfaces for projectiles to penetrate through the turret, too.
