Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cold war era American Main Battle Tank

Official designation:- 105mm Gun Tank M60
Total Production:- 15,000+
In service:- 1959 to 2005
Main Armament:- M68E1 105mm
Although developed from the M48 Patton, the M60 series was never officially classified as a member of the Patton tank family. Instead, it was a "product-improved descendant" of the Patton design. It served with nearly 30 countries and remains it service throughout the Middle-East and Far-East. This running example of an early M60A1 came from the US Army in Germany and joined the museum in 1993. It is seen performing in the Kuwait Arena during TankFest 2019. ‘The Tank Museum’, Bovington Camp, Dorset, UK. 29th June 2019

The following description of the ‘RISE passive’ variant is from Wikpedia:-

“In 1975, the M60A1(RISE) meaning Reliability Improved Selected Equipment was introduced. Its AVDS-1790-2C diesel engine featured several changes in order to improve service life and reliability: new top-loading air cleaners; stronger cylinders; improved starter, fuel injection lines, and nozzles; and better turbosuperchargers. A new 650 ampere oil cooled alternator, a solid state regulator and new wiring harness with more accessible disconnect were also incorporated into its electrical system. The M60A1(RISE)(PASSIVE), which debuted in 1977, featured passive night vision sights for gunner and commander, a new night vision device for the driver and a deep water fording kit.”
