The M60 Patton is an American second generation main battle tank (MBT) introduced in March 1959. With the United States Army's deactivation of their last (M103) heavy tank battalion in 1963, the M60 became the Army's primary main battle tank during the Cold War. 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. In March 1959, the tank was officially standardised as the Tank, Combat, Full Tracked: 105mm Gun, M60. Over 15,000 M60s were built by Chrysler. Hull production ended in 1983, but 5,400 older models were converted to the M60A3 variant ending in 1990.
7 different variants are available:
M60A0 - with M48 turret
M60A1
M60A1 - with search light
M60A1 - with ERA
M60A3
M60A3 - with search light
