The M60 Patton was the American 2nd generation main battle tank. The first prototypes of the car were created in the late 1950s and mass production continued between 1960-1987 and ended with the production of more than 15,000 copies of this tank. The M60 Patton was run with a 750 horsepower Continental Avda-1790-2 engine. The armament in the basic version was 105 mm M68 tank ball, 1 12.7 mm m85 machine gun and 1 7.62 mm m73 machine gun.

The design work on the M60 Patton began when the American intelligence learned that the Soviet army will put a new T-62 tank on the production line equipped with a 115 mm ball. In order to respond to this new threat, it was decided to rebuild the M48 tank and create a new tool. First of all, new weapons were used, ie 105 mm ball, armor was significantly strengthened and a new engine with more power was used. The new design could at least be compared with T-54, T-55 or T-62 tanks, but it was lower than the T-64 and T-72 series vehicles, especially in terms of firepower. Three versions of the M60 were produced during mass production. The first was the M60A1, which entered the production line in 1969, had a new turnet and a thicker armor. It turned out that the M60A2 version, which has a 152 mm ball launcher, was a dead end. Finally, the latest serial version is M60A3, which has a modern fever control system (SKO) with a laser distance -meter and passive night vision. The M60 tanks in all versions have been exported to many countries including Brazil, Greece, Spain, Israel and Portugal. They also participated in many armed conflicts of the Cold War period, especially the 1973 Yom-Kippur war, the 1980-1988 Iraq-Iran War, and the 1990-1991 Basra Gulf War.
