Historical and Technical Information

The M60A2 tank was developed and introduced into service by the United States during the 1970s – precisely in the period of the Cold War, between 1974 and 1981. Its most recognizable feature was the innovative, low-profile turret equipped with a 152 mm gun capable of firing both conventional shells and MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missiles. Although technologically advanced, the Starship was in service only for a relatively short time and was mainly deployed in the USA and West Germany by US Army units as a fire support vehicle. In practice, the technical complexity limited its operational use, but the M60A2 forever marked its place in the history of modern armored weaponry.
