The M60 was designed back in 1957 and came into service in 1959 and it remains in service until this day, in total this vehicle has been produced 15.000 times, which for a tank is massive, to put this into perspective, this is more then the German Panther, British Centurion and British Cromwell have been produced which combined would sit in the 14.000’s
The M60 ofcourse had several different versions of it available. These versions were the M60, M60A1, M60A2 and M60A3, you also had several foreign upgraded M60’s these were mainly done on the M60A3, The M60 had seen a lot of action in its life span but we will talk about this later into the video.
The M60 weighed in at about 46 Tonnes which is comparable to the weight of the M26 Pershing which also weighs about 46 tonnes. It was actually a bigger tank then you might imagine, the M60 hull was 6.9 Meters long, it’s width was 3.6 meters wide and it was 3.2 meters tall. This allowed the m60 to fit 4 crew members in the tank, the crew consisted of a Driver, Gunner Loader and Commander
This time I did do manage to find a picture with the armour values of the tank, if you would like to have a longer look at the armour values feel free to pause the video, it seems like these are the armour values of the normal M60, you can see this because the upper glasis was 98mm
The M60 was outfitted with a 105mm main armament, this armament was also used on the M60A1, the M60A2 however used a 152mm
