Čaj M60 je američki glavni borbeni tenk druge generacije (MBT). Zvanično je standardizovan kao Tenk, Borba, Puna staza: 105 mm Pištolj, M60 u martu 1959. Iako razvijena od M48 Patona, tenkovska serija M60 nikada nije bila zvanično klasifikovana ali ponekad neformalno grupisana, kao član tenkovske porodice Paton. Sličnosti se mogu primetiti u originalnoj varijanti M60 i M48A3. Američka vojska je to smatrala "potomcima unapređenim proizvodima" dizajna tenka Paton. Sjedinjene Države su se u potpunosti obavezale na doktrinu MBT-a 1963. Tenkovska serija M60 postala je glavni američki borbeni tenk tokom Hladnog rata. Krajsler je sagradio preko 15.000 M60. Proizvodnja trupa završena je 1983, ali je 5.400 starijih modela pretvoreno u M60A3 varijantu koja se završava 1990.

The **M60A3** was the final and most technologically advanced variant of the US M60 tank series, serving as a critical component of American and allied armored forces during the latter half of the Cold War. While it retained the M60 family’s general layout and steel armor, its most significant improvements were centered around a highly modernized **Fire Control System (FCS)**, granting it superior first-round hit probability, especially at night.
Key Upgrades and Features
Unlike earlier models, the M60A3 focused on electronic and sighting systems rather than major changes to the main gun or armor:
- Laser Rangefinder: It replaced the older, less accurate optical coincidence rangefinder with a reliable **AN/VVG-2 laser rangefinder**, dramatically increasing ranging speed and accuracy.
- Ballistic Computer: The FCS incorporated a new **solid-state M21 ballistic computer** which automatically calculated fire solutions based on range, ammunition type, crosswind, and tank cant.
- Tank Thermal Sight (TTS): The most crucial addition was the **Tank Thermal Sight (TTS)** for the gunner. This system gave the tank a massive advantage by enabling the detection and accurate engagement of targets in complete darkness or poor visibility (smoke, fog, etc.).
- Main Gun: It retained the proven **105 mm M68 rifled gun** (a US-built version of the British L7), a NATO standard weapon, often fitted with a thermal shroud to reduce barrel warp from heat.
General Specifications
- Teћinu: Approximately 54 tons (combat loaded).
- Motor: Continental AVDS-1790-2C V-12 air-cooled diesel (750 hp).
- Road Speed: Around 30 mph (48 km/h).
- Posada: 4 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver).
- Naoružanje: 105 mm M68 rifled gun, 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
- Armor: Rolled homogeneous steel armor.
Despite its superior FCS, the M60A3’s armor was less survivable against new anti-tank guided missiles and kinetic energy penetrators developed in the 1980s. It was eventually succeeded by the M1 Abrams tank in US service, though the M60A3 remains in use with numerous foreign armies.
