The M-60 was introduced in the early 1960s in the United States Army. It was developed as an evolution of the famous M-47 and M-48 Patton series tanks. The M-60 became the most important main battle tank (MBT) of the U.S. Army during the Cold War years. It was produced until 1983 by the American company Chrysler, with a total of 15,000 units manufactured. The tank was adopted in several versions by the armed forces of numerous countries around the world.

The main armament, installed in the turret, was the 105 mm M68 gun. The M-60 was characterized by its large size and the powerful V12 turbodiesel engine, which provided good operational performance and speed both on-road and off-road. It was deployed in many conflicts and operational scenarios.

In 1976, the upgraded M60A3 version was developed, featuring several improvements to enhance operational effectiveness. The armor protection for the turret was increased, and a new gun mantle was designed. Significant advancements were made with the incorporation of modern electronic and fire control systems on board.
