The M60 is an American battlefield main battle tank, a far-reaching development of the M48 tank. The M60 was created in 1957 as a response to the Soviet T-62 tank with a 115mm gun.

Mass production was carried out in the years 1960-1987 and ended with the production of over 15,000 vehicles. The first modernization took place in 1969 and resulted in the creation of the M60A1, which had better armor and reinforced suspension. Shortly thereafter, a version of the M60A2 with a 152mm gun, capable of firing anti-tank guided missiles, was developed. MGMG-51. However, the version turned out to be unsuccessful, and in 1980 a version of the M60A3 with a traditional cannon was introduced into service. It had much more perfect battlefield observation devices, sights and laser rangefinders.
