The M60 (Magach 6) is a main battle tank developed by the United States and modified by Israel. It is based on the M60 Patton tank, but with several improvements such as a new 105 mm gun, a diesel engine, reactive armor, and an advanced fire control system. The M60 (Magach 6) was first introduced in the late 1970s and saw extensive service in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) during the 1982 Lebanon War and the 2006 Lebanon War. The M60 (Magach 6) is considered to be a reliable and effective tank, capable of engaging targets at long ranges and surviving multiple hits. However, it also suffers from some drawbacks such as its large size, heavy weight, and high fuel consumption. The M60 (Magach 6) is gradually being replaced by the newer Merkava tank in the IDF, but it remains in service with some reserve units and foreign customers.
