This film presents the story of the development, testing, and use of the M-60 tank in the U.S. Army. Scenes trace the origin of the modern tank and the need to create a mobile armored vehicle that could carry enough fire power as it led its troops through the line.
About the M60:
The M60 Patton tank was introduced in December 1960. With the United States Army's deactivation of their last (M103) heavy tank battalion in 1963, the M60 became the Army's primary tank till 1980. Although developed from the M48 Patton, the M60 series was never officially classified as a Patton tank, but as a "product-improved descendant" of the Patton series.
The M60 underwent many updates over its service life. The interior layout, based on the design of the M48, provided ample room for updates and improvements, extending the vehicle's service life for over four decades. It was widely used by the U.S. and its allies, especially those in NATO, and remains in service throughout the world today, despite having been superseded by the M1 Abrams in the U.S. military. Egypt is currently the largest operator with 1,716 upgraded M60A3s, Turkey is second with 866 upgraded units in service, and Israel is third with over 700 units of Israeli variants.
Approved in March 21, 1960 was the initial program that lead to the M60A1. This new variant was first produced in October 1962 and stayed in production until 1980, featured a larger, better-shaped turret and improvements to the armor protection and shock absorbers.
