The US Army’s M60 Main Battle Tank Summed Up in 4 Words
 
Key Points - The M60, a descendant of the M48 Patton, served as the US Army's primary main battle tank for decades, forming the backbone of America's Cold War armored forces with 15,000 units built before production ceased in 1983.

-Renowned for its 105mm gun and spacious, upgradable chassis, the M60 proved its combat effectiveness in conflicts like the 1973 Yom Kippur War, where it outperformed Soviet T-62s.


-Its successful performance against T-72s in the 1991 Gulf War and its extensive modernization history offered a roadmap for the subsequent M1 Abrams program.

-Upgraded M60 variants continue to serve today with allied nations like Taiwan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
