The generic term "turret drive" relates to the system comprised of the motor[s], gear trains, power source, crewman's manual controls, and related electro-mechanical features used to rotate a turret mounted on a combat vehicle [i.e. LAV armored cars used by the Saudi Arabian National Guard, or main battle tanks used by the Royal Saudi Land Forces]. The system used for fire control -- elevating, depressing, aiming, and firing the vehicle's main armament -- is separate from the turret drive system.
Explanation: البرج يجتاز ممر العربات أي أن ممر العربات أصبح تحت البرج
drive in this context does not mean محرك at all. Also "turret" does not necessarily refer to tanks. It could be a turret in a castle or palace.
