M60A3 Main Battle Tank

The American M60A3 was a later development of the M60 Patton tank family, incorporating improved fire-control and observation equipment while retaining a one-hundred-and-five-millimeter gun. It served with American and foreign forces during the later Cold War.

A laser rangefinder, improved ballistic computation, and other sighting changes increased first-round hit probability compared with earlier M60 versions. The Tank Thermal Sight version provided an important improvement for darkness and poor visibility. The conventional gun retained access to a broad ammunition family, unlike the M60A2’s specialized gun-launcher arrangement. As American units moved to the Abrams, M60A3s continued with other operators and reserve forces. Foreign modernization programs later introduced further changes, making national service history essential when interpreting a particular example. The M60A2 used a different missile-capable gun-launcher, while the A3 retained a conventional tank gun.
