The M60 served as the primary main battle tank of the Cold War, with models in service beginning in 1960 up through the 1990s. The newer model M60 was the U.S. Army's basic main battle tank stationed in Europe (Germany) and South Korea during the Cold War, while the older M48 Patton tanks were being deployed in Southeast Asia (Vietnam) from 1965 thru 1975, by both the USMC and US Army. It was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, especially other NATO countries. The tank belongs to the Patton family of tanks, named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle. It was a further development of the M48 Patton tank.

The M48 Patton was one of the U.S armys principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the early 1950s to the 1990s. ...
The M60 tank was designed to replace the previous M48 Pattons. Largely resembling the M48, the M60 Patton has a redesigned hull with straight front slope (versus the M48's rounded front slope), three support rollers per side (instead of five) and with aluminum road wheels (verses the M48's steel road wheels). It is armed with 105 mm main gun (while earlier Patton series tanks carried 90 mm guns). The gun has bore evacuater located near the center of the barrel and lacks a muzzle brake. The initial variant of M60 had essentially the same turret as M48; subsequent variants received a new "needlenose" turret. The M48 Patton was one of the U.S armys principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the early 1950s to the 1990s. ...
History
In 1957, a new vehicle was called for in the US with a 105 mm main gun and a redesigned hull with better armor protection. This new vehicle (originally designated M68) was put into production in 1959, reclassified as the M60 and entered service in 1960. Over 15,000 M60s (all variants) were constructed.
The improved design provided an increased operational range of 300+ miles, required a minimum of refueling and servicing, and incorporated an improved main armament. A Continental V-12 750 hp air-cooled, twin-turbocharged diesel engine powered the vehicle. Power is transmitted to a final drive through a cross drive transmission, which is a combined transmission, differential, steering, and braking unit. The hull of this vehicle is a single piece steel casting and is divided into two compartments: the crew in the front and the engine at the rear.
The M60 was the last U.S. tank to use the co-axial version of the M60 Machine Gun, the M60E2, as well as steel armor and an escape hatch under the hull, as the M1 Abrams that replaced it lacked sufficient ground clearance. The M60 (formally the United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7. ...
M60A1 In 1963, the M60 was upgraded to the M60A1. This new variant, which stayed in production until 1980, featured a larger, better-shaped turret and improvements to the armor protection and shock absorbers.The M60A1 also has on board stabilization added to the main gun,however this did not mean that the main gun could be fired accurately on the move,only that the turret would stay pointed in the same general direction and elevation during cross country maneuvers. The vehicle still had to stop to fire to have any chance of hitting its target. It did however enable the coaxial machine gun to be brought to bear while moving with some accuracy.
M60A2 'Starship'
 M60A2 at the American Armored Foundation Museum in Danville, Virginia, July 2006. The M60A2, nicknamed the "Starship" due to its space-aged technology, featured an entirely new low-profile turret with a commander's machine-gun cupola on top, giving the commander a good view and field of fire while under armor but spoiling the low profile. It also featured a 152mm caliber main gun similar to that of the M551 Sheridan light tank, which fired regular rounds as well as the Shillelagh anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). There were a number of problems with the new gun (such as unburnt propellant from the main gun rounds fouling the barrel and pre-detonating subsequent rounds), most of which were solved to some extent, but after all the problems the A2 model was abandoned and the turret for the A3 would be based on that of the A1. Most of the M60A2 tanks were rebuilt as M60A3, or the hulls converted to Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge vehicles.

M60A3 Patton
 An M-60A3 main battle tank moves along a street in Germany during Exercise Reforger '85. In 1978, work began on the M60A3 variant. It featured a number of technological enhancements, including smoke dischargers, a new rangefinder and ballistic computer, and a turret stabilization system. All active American M60s eventually underwent the conversion to the A3 model. Image File history File links Size of this preview: 800 × 529 pixelsFull resolution (3000 × 1982 pixel, file size: 2. ...

The M60A3 was phased out of US service in the early 1990s, but it remained a front-line MBT into the 21st century for a number of other countries.
While overall a less effective tank than the M1 Abrams, the M60A3 did have some advantages over M1 models: The M1 Abrams main battle tank is the principal combat tank of the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps and the Australian Army, with three main versions being deployed starting in 1980: the M1, M1A1, and M1A2. ...
- The M60A3 had a notably better passive infrared scope than that of M1 up into the 21st century, until many M1s had newer ones installed.
- The M60A3 had an exterior phone for infantry to talk directly to the crew inside. This feature was also installed on some USMC M1A1s in Iraq and is now being incorporated into all active Abrams.
- The diesel had lower performance, but also had lower cost, maintenance and better fuel efficiency.
- The exhaust temperature of an M1's turbine is very high, which makes it dangerous for infantry to take cover behind it, rather than the diesel engine on an M60A3.
- The escape hatch located under the hull of the M60A3 is not present in the M1 Abrams (due to insufficient ground clearance under the hull), making it more difficult for the crew to bail out of a battle-damaged Abrams than a Patton.
Service history M60s and M60A1s saw action with Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights. The United States sent additional M60s to Israel just before and during hostilities. Following the war, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) received many more M48s, M60s and M60A1s from the U.S. Two variants of the M60 Patton tanks were used in the Vietnam War, the AVLB and the CEV. The Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge, commonly referred to as the "Bridge tank" was mounted on a M60 Patton tank hull, and the Combat Engineer Vehicle was a M60 Patton, except it had a short-tubed 165mm main gun that fired a shaped charge.

Israel further upgraded their inventory of M60s prior to their use in the invasion of Lebanon in the 1982 Lebanon War. The Israeli modifications included new tracks and Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA). This variant was known as the Magach. Further work in Israel has been done on the upgraded Magach models, adding new armor, new fire control system, a thermal sleeve and smoke dischargers. The latest versions, the Magach 7 (with variants A through C), are still in use with the IDF.

The M60A1 RISE (PASSIVE) of the U.S. Marines saw limited action in the Gulf War in opposition to Iraqi tanks, opposing various enemy tanks including T-54, T-55, T-62, Type 69, and the T-72. The M60A1s were fitted with reactive add-on armor packages and supported the drive into Kuwait City where they were involved in a two day tank battle at the Kuwait airport with the loss of only one vehicle and no crew. They saw service with the United States Marine Corps, and the Saudi Arabian Army.

As of 2005, M60 variants are in service with Austria, Bahrain, Bosnia, Brazil, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Singapore, Turkey, Taiwan, Thailand and some other nations to varying degrees. Also, the US continues to have significant stockpiles of them waiting to be scrapped, sold-off, or converted, although some vehicles that use the chassis are still in use. Most of those still used are much upgraded models. Pattons formed the basis for many 'new' tank designs, some using the chassis but with all-new turrets others using various upgrade packages. This article is about the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ...
Overall, the M60A1/A3s outperformed various older opposing tanks in various conflicts including T-55s, T-62s and T-69s such as the Yom Kippur war and the battle for the Kuwait airport that involved hundreds of tanks in a 2-day, all out battle with only 1 vehicle lost on the US side. It must be said that the Marine Corp M60A1s had ERA that helped protect them, and that the Iraqi tank crews were not well trained and using poorly maintained equipment. During the Yom Kippur War, the M60 tank proved effective versus T-54/55 and T-62 tanks. However, many Israeli M60s were destroyed by Egyptian troops armed with AT-3 Sagger anti-tank missiles. Most of these casualties were in the first few days following the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal. However, once the Egyptian armor left the cover of the infantry and the Sagger, they were defeated in head to head combat with Israeli armor using a variety of armored vehicles including the M48 and M60. AT-3A Sagger missile The AT-3 Sagger is the NATO reporting name for the 9M14 Malyutka (little or tiny baby) MCLOS wire-guided anti-tank missile of the Soviet Union. ...
There were also a number of prototype upgrades evaluated in the U.S., which were passed over in favor of simply producing more M1 Abrams. Due to the end of the Cold War, surplus US Army M1 tanks were absorbed into the remaining USMC units allowing the Marine Corps to transition to in all M1 tank force at reduced cost.
