Historical Information

The M60A3 is a modernized version of the legendary M60 tank series, produced for the United States Army and numerous allies. Introduced into service in the late 1970s, this model is an advancement of the original platform with modern electronics, targeting systems, and enhanced protection. The M9 dozer blade, mounted on M60A3 tanks, enabled the rapid construction of fortifications or the clearing of terrain obstacles during combat and engineering support operations.
