The M60A3 formed the backbone of U.S. armoured forces through the 1980s alongside the M1 Abrams, featuring a cast iron chassis derived from the M48, a supercharged air-cooled diesel engine, and a 105mm gun with thermal sleeve. Advanced for its time, the M60A3 was equipped with a laser rangefinder and ballistic computer — making it a formidable fighting machine.
