Tank M60 oglyad amerikansky main battle photo During the period of "cold vіyny" - the fourth generation of the Patton family will take part in a direct playground. Being a collection of fragmentation yak udoskonalennya radianskih tanks, M60 zalishaєtsya on ozbroєnnі dosі. Not for nothing, 15,000 cars were generated.

Tank M60 adopted in 1960 p. The number of M60 was admittedly small in the course of the Vikoristov, and the stench also took part in the doomsday war, 1973 r. at the warehouse of the army for the defense of Israel. In addition, the stench took part in the battles of the Iranian-Iraqi war in the opera "Storm in the wilderness" in 1991. Unimportant to the kidnappings, the modernization allowed the M60 to gain parity with radians for a trivial hour. For example, in the 1990s rr. new well-equipped anti-tank vehicles, on M60A3 The names of the main armor were secured by the elements of the dynamical acquisition. Tsei dodatkovy zagist zooseredzhenii in the main body on vezha and frontal sheets.

U 1956 p. Razvіduvalnі danі otrimanimy ordered the development of a new main battle tank in the SRCP, which radically overturned the indicators in front of the T-54/55. A group of recent designers from the United States has gone to work, but there is still a great supply for those who have grown up. Bulo launched a program of great modernization.
Wirobnitsvo M60 fell on the "cold viyny" raspal. The design of the Viconan is based on, unaffected by those who are left behind and weak for the prototype of new generation machines. M48 has a lack of power reserve, I’ll be worried about it, I’ll take it in case of poor armor. Quotas of M60 increments in the number of acquisitions for the revival in 1960 p. and becoming the basis of the American tank park on the offensive of 20 rockets - right up to the fall. Virobnitstvo M60 is pinned for a lease of 1987 p.

Main American tank M60 As a machine of the Patton family, I have a classic layout of the layout of the control unit in the front part of the hull, the combat unit is shown in the front part of the hull, so it can be wrapped in the middle of the motor-transmission part of the rear.
The collection of the M6O vezha is similar to the M48 vezha, in spherical - more precisely, and efficient - in form. However, on modifications of the A1 and A3, the basht took off the knotty and ringing shape in the front part, which increased the armor protection, the armor thickness up to 127 mm. On the modification of the M60A1, a straining searchlight was installed, which seemed to be visible in the infrared range, but on the M60A3 tanks it was changed.

The commander, the leader and the charging one, is displaced in the vezh, the leader is the leader of the harmata in front, the commander is behind and the next, so the charge is the right-hander from the harness of the breech. The mechanic-water is placed in the front part of the hull on the ground, the front hand is attached to the axle of the hull, before the 150-mm front armor is attached, for inspecting the face of the vicorist three periscopic attachments of the front guard The guide to the vicorist periscope attachment of mounting near the dakha vezhi, which can be replaced by the inferiority attachment with the attachment of a nychnogo backyard. The commander of the vikoristovuє is seen of the periscope attachments with the guard, installed along the perimeter of the commander's head, to wrap around.

1. The commander can take over the control of the defenses, bring the harmony along the vertical and lead the fire from her, turn around, supervise the meta. Winning the vezha at the back and in the eye of the seeker, so you yourself can lead the fire from the gun, set up at the commander’s vezha.
2. Lazerniy Distantkomir: The Lazerniy Distantkomir strengthened the light pulse and, by eliminating the incoming beat from the signal, the distance (distance) to it was increased - the accuracy of the main disturbance was improved.
3. Nichny aim of the pedagogical type can be victorious with a searchlight; for the newer modifications, the main aim is to become thermal, such a provision is not required. Nichny sight of 105-mm harness, sight of the seeker and the commander of the bandage, allowing him to bachit those same, who to bump into the eyepiece sometimes, in some clever minds.
4. The commander can take control of the war.
5. Nichny sight of the sub-type, for example, we can use an infrared projector with a searchlight, instead of replacing the sight with a thermal imaging one.
6. See the police officer in the photo, wrap around at once with her, with a whole incident, you can mittєvo turn around in the middle of the tank.

A short look at the American M60 main battle tank

Modifications of the American M60 main battle tank

• ХМ60 / М60: Modernization, lithium case with a profile of transverse re-cutting, nagaduє vase, support rollers made of aluminum alloy, three auxiliary rollers on board. First sightings were not small commanders' vezha.
• М60А1: The first modification, which appears to be a tight, narrowed front part of the bash.
• M60A1 AOS: U 1972 p. additionally the stabilizer of the harness М68.
• М60А1 RISE: Set of special equipment for adjustment of reliability (RISE); Reduction of a large number of basic systems, including changes in the systems of the power plant, so that you can lay down access to it, and you will not be able to replace the engine and transmission.
• М60А1 RISE Passive: the М60А1 RISE model has been supplemented with the installation of a changed spotlight of the visible and infrared light, replacing the active attachments of a new tank with no light.
• М60А1Е1: The vehicle has been provided with a 152-mm harness replacement - the М162 launcher, due to the possibility of launching an ATGM through the barrel.

Tank М60 navchannya BRIGHT STAR, 1982 рік

• М60А1Е2 / М60А2: The vezha was added to its shape, and a fantastic starship was born. The modification of the M60A2 has become a hundred steps in the standard standards of the main battle tank and in the result of the change of the deputy. М60А2, vіdomy pіd prіzisіm Starship ("zіrkolіt"), having trimmed the new vezh, in which it was installed zbro - the launcher for the ATGM Shillelagh, as it appeared inappropriately. 152-mm zbroya - the central launcher is not less than half lagged behind the extraordinary tank harness and once in the ability to launch ATGMs and fireballs with extraordinary high-explosive fragmentation, igniting or practical shells. At the same time, a bullet of trocha more than 550 М60А2 was created, like bullets were built in the warehouse. Option nis also remotely kerovan 20 mm automatic harness.
• М60А1ЕЗ: Acknowledgments М60А1 Е2 due to the replacement of 105-mm with narcotic harness.
• М60А1Е4: The machine has been updated with kerovans.
• Until 1977 p. The bullet is ready to modify the M60AZ and the M60A1 tanks have been recently brought to the standard, as well as the bullets in the vіyskakh. In addition to the sophisticated control system in the fire, the tank is trimmed with new caterpillars with well-known asphalt cushions, so it is easy to mount and know the forces of the flight. М60АЗ will put the building on the basis of the additional thermodynamic equipment. The knowledge of the possession for the underwater water allows you to go up to 4 m along the bottom of the water crossing.

• М60АЗ TTS: М60АЗ with a thermal sight AN / VSG-2, launched in the mid-range in 1977, worth 52 tons - style f, but also M60A1, - but at the same time, it includes a number of ultra-high thermal laser technologies, such as long-range technologies. on the commander's working mission, the AN / VGS-2 thermal sight and the VVG-2 Hughes laser distance sight on the navigator's mission, as well as a digital calculator on the solid element base. The price has increased the frequency of shooting and has expanded the range of firing ranges up to 200-5000 m. The front of the M60 tank included a forward angle of 12 cm to increase the amount of fire in the middle of the trim. Up to the M60AZ standard, the automatic anti-fire possession of the Israeli box with the HALON gas has been reduced.
• М60 Super / АХ: Modification with armored armor driver and insignificant changes.

The tactical and technical characteristics of the M60 Tank

• М60-2000 / 120S: General Dynamics Land Division, hybrid modification with М60 and Abrams elements. Not accepted by the Vyskovs.
• М728: Boyova Engineering Vehicle (CEV) on the М60А1 chassis.
• М728А1: Modernization М728.

The development of the M60 tank was boiled fiercely in 1957, the spur of robots was stimulated by the appearance of the T-54 tank in the Radianskih tank warriors, which overturned the American M48 for all the indications.
Near the birch 1959 p. a ready-made first version of the tank, classifications M60, standard "A". The US Department of Defense signed the contract for the first 180 vehicles with the Chrysler company at the price of 1959, and two months later the contract for 720 vehicles was signed.

The M60 tank will complete the development of the American medium tanks M26, M46, M47 and M48. A lot of technical solutions for the M60 were put forward by the designers of the M48A2, and a number of parts and universities of these tanks are interconnected. Without changes, the basic solution of the composition has been lost. Tse pragnennyam vikoristovuvati ustatkuvannya factories, scho let the tank M48A2.
At the same time, the M60 tank quickly emerges from its predecessor, the power plant and armor.
The armor of the M60 tank was strengthened in advance for the improvement of armor from the most tough missions. Vikoristano is also such a way to make the armor fit for a man, like roztashuvannya armor parts with great kuts nahil to the vertical. The price of a tank hull is as good as it gets.

The M60 tank is loaded with the English narrative 105-mm harness L7, standardized in the United States under the M68 mark, as it was licensed there.
The design of the bolt, anti-retraction attachments and the installation of an armature at the vezha vikonan, yak on the M48 tank. Everyday attachment for the visualization of powder gases to the middle part of the barrel. The muzzle is galmo vidsutnє. The shvidku was transferred to the replacement of the stovbur harmati in the Polish minds.
Mechanisms of guidance with electro-hydraulic drives are suspected in the M48 tank without a hundred changes.
The harness ammunition kit includes the construction of a unitary charge with an electric ignition attachment with 49 rounds of five types: an armor-piercing mid-caliber projectile M392; shell M416.
The ammunition set of tanks of the first series is stored for 60 buildings (for M60A1 (A3) - 63 built) and spacers at the side hulls, at the left side of the veins in the bow part of the hull. The charging of the harmati is carried out by hand from the vicarians to the mechanism of the reinforcing man.

For the navigator, a new periscope sight has been transferred from the new models (from 8 to 1). Sight for the vikonaniy okremo kulemet, and the alley sieve is designed to be in the field of the main sight. Another attachment of the navigator is a telescopic hinge sight with a similar range of improvement. Sight for nicho shooter (infrachervonii) readings in one building with a periscopic sight. Before the mask, there is a searchlight attached to the harness, which can be visible through the light and the infrared interchanges.

For the commander in advance of the establishment of a monocular sight-distant, do not get tired. On the view of the stereoscopic (on M48), at which distance the two images are displayed, the monocular distant is more simple in operation, when the robot does not need garnishing and trivial training.
The balistic calculator is injected onto the sights of the sight and the sight-rangefinder and will automatically set it to the position, as soon as the range is adjusted. A special sensor automatically corrects for derivation, parallax sight, loss of cob fluidity (after exposure), knuckle pins, temperature change.
For the commander, a handle for controlling the guidance mechanisms was transferred to a friend. The commander, in his own order, has built his own control system in the fire and can build the deputy of the navigator.

The machine gun of the tank is represented by pairing a 7.62-mm caliber with a hardened machine gun and a 12.7 mm universal caliber machine gun, installed at the commander's tower. For the gunner, the periscope sight (at the door of the vezhi) and simple aiming mechanisms, which can be guided from the hands, is transferred from the gun. Kulemeti may have shortened receivers and small barrels.
For the first time in the American tank-building, a 12-cylinder diesel engine was installed on the M60 tank, a V-diesel engine with a turbocharger AVDS-1790-2 from the Continental company. Dvigun has a power cooling system, pressure 750 liters. With. at 2400 rpm To start the dvigun in the sinks of low temperatures Starting the dvigun electric starter will become safe at temperatures down to -30 ° С.
The engine is equipped with a hydraulic transmission CD 850-6 of the "Cross-Drive" type, which can be stored from a hydraulic transformer, three-frequency planetary gearbox and a double-dialed planetary differential steering mechanism.
The front of the M60 tank is similar to the front of the M48A2, the protest was introduced in the design of the changes.

Supporting trays (extreme ones), trailers that are ready for use, and wire wheels made of aluminum alloy. Balance arms brackets of the supporting sleeves are welded to the body in the course of the balance arms.
The shock absorbers in the M60 tanks do not fit, the extreme support kovzanki are springy intervening in the balancer movement. Vikoristani torsionnі vali zhorstkіshі, nіzh in M48 tanks. Gumova gumka with gum-metal joint MAє width 710 mm.
The virobability of the M60 tank at the first victorious was trivially deprived of 2 rocky and already in 1962 p. M60A1 tanks began to descend from the conveyors, and for the next hour they became the main tanks of the American armored forces.

The tank has a lot of modifications, I keep new designs, so that I won't get the best styling. To improve the accuracy of the firearm, there is an electrohydraulic stabilization system in two areas. Її ammunition has been increased for 3 builds. Z 1975 p. On the M60A1 serial tanks, which began to spin, the new AVDS-1790-2G RISE diesel engine was installed, as well as being forced to move and changing the terms of service.

The M60A1 tank was located at Virobnistvі until 1980 p. In addition to changes in the upcoming modification of the M60A3 (the modification of the M60A2 is a missile-armored tank), which is the leading ranker to adjust the accuracy of the firing for the control of the stabilization of the introduction of the firearm system
In the foreign press, it meant that the possibility of drinking in a weak meta (size 2.3x2.3 m) at a distance of 2000 m for the M60AZ tank became close to 70 miles, similarly for the M60A1-23.
A passive low sight of the detector of substitutions with the AN / VSG-2 thermal sight, which reduces the characteristics and allows the target to operate at great ranges.
To replace the unreasonable paired 7.62-mm M219 muffler, a Belgian muffler of the same caliber was installed (cutting off the designated M240). Heat insulating chokhol on the stove of the harness.
For setting the dimar, you can use the M239 grenade launchers, mounted on the sides of the front part of the vezh, and the thermodynamic equipment (the dvigun system can be flashed with fire).
The tank possesses a filter-ventilation installation, an automatic fire-ignition system and a radio connection.

Until 1982 p. Planned for 1696 new M60A3 tanks and up to 1700 M60A1 tanks.
Tanks M60 were exported to Bagatyokh lands in the world, during the winter: Izrail (1400 vehicles of recent modifications), Egypt (700 M60A1 і 753 M60A3), Iran (close to 200 M60A1), Italy, 630 M60A1), Italy (30060 M60A1) that іnshі land.
The tanks went through modernization among the people from the civilian regions, as the suttuvo moved the battle of power. For example, in izrail, for the purpose of moving the abduction, the tank was equipped with a set of a dynamic zajist, so they killed him with practically indifferent ATGMs "Malyutka", which were used to carry them on to the depopulated bagatykh of the Arab civilians.

The chassis of the M60 tank is vikoristano for a number of combat and auxiliary vehicles, including the M728 engineering vehicle (312 units were released) and the AVLB bridge (400 units were released). The M728 machine is secured with a bulldozer dozer that is loaded with a 165-mm short-barreled ammunition, in the ammunition set for a variety of shells, designed for the development of a small family.

US Medium Tank M60

The breakdown of the 50-s American medium tank M60 after being sold from the serial virobnitstvі mayzhe thirty rocks, from 1959 to 1987 rіk.

By the way, with a glimpse of modernization of the M48 tank, American engineers have made it possible to revive. 105 mm Gun Full Tracked Combat Tank M60 The nature of the 90-mm harness on the new bullet was installed in an English version of the 105-mm harness M68, with an ejector. The price allowed a significant increase in the nomenclature of victorious ammunition, including in it a podkaliberni with a piddon, which can be seen, with a plastic vibuch speech, cumulative and fragmentation of a high-explosive projectile.

The installation of the new zbroi caused a change in the configuration of the vezh, and to move the nose of the hull. Bronovy zahist obeyed, especially in weakly stolen missions. For the first time in the coming period a diesel engine was installed on American cars. It became the engine of a rotary cooling with a turbocharged Continental AVDS-1790-2, it produced 750 hp. On top of that, the M60 was equipped with a range-finding sight and a ballistic sight. At the design of the chassis of the tank, bullets are widely used in aluminum alloys, etc. All the innovations robbed the main battle tank M60, we will add not only for the US Army, but also for the foreign countries, as they took a new American vehicle for the revival.

However, already in the first years of exploitation, the bulo was installed, but the modernization of the basic model M48A2, which took an hour for the singing deficit, called up to the shutdown of the machine, as it is not a good idea for the whole world to stand up to the tanks of the enemy's enemy. So, the armored vehicle of the M60 vezhi, which may even grow back towards the M48, without showing the hit of 100-mm shells in the Radiansk tank garmat.

In 1962, the Chrysler company began to release new modifications of the M60 - M60A1 main battle tank.

The main idea of ​​the new machine was the victorious change of the shortened configuration from the smashed kutas to the nagging of the frontal parts. In case of a large armor, the frontal projection will be enlarged up to 254 mm without a mask. The bash is equipped with a commander’s head, which can be wrapped 360 °, with spaced skloblocks along the perimeter for a round, circular look.

Z

Due to the establishment of a new model, the robots were turned over to the middle of the battlefield. The modernization of the M60 was carried over to the storage line without the need for a second, so that the same chase of the same old and new vezha was added to the victors. At the same time, the designers introduced changes into the fire control system, and, having stuck to the full extent, allowed the drivers to drive the fire at the end of the day. The same models M60A1, as they left the assembly line for 1965 rock, recovered the new balistic m16. How much power was allowed by the data on the target-range-finder, corrections for the drop in the cob feed rate due to the wear of the stovbur channel and the unsuitable axis of the stovbur channel and the zero line of targeting.

Torknulsya change that control system of the tank. So, the mechanic-driver has taken off the T-related importance of replacing the kerm steering wheel, the bullets are changed on the hand, the actions are applied to the control system, as well as the setting of the hydraulic transmissions of the gears of the power transmissions and the mechanics. The running part has trimmed the telescopic shock absorbers of the part of the supporting rods.

However, the M60A1 tanks were not finished yet. The American team will immediately send new modernization programs to the radio and the Radiansk Army will have new models of armored vehicles. So, for the sake of acceptance for the 60s rocky. In the SRCR, for the protection of the T-62 and T-64 tanks, the American military sent a three-part program for the polishing of the M60A1 battle yokes.

Modules rostashuvannya

In 1971, the rotsi machines installed a double-sided electrical and hydraulic system for stabilization of heating systems from the Cadillac Gage and Honeywell companies, with crawler tracks, equipped with T142 track links with gum cushions for the dust on the asphalt road, as well as storage facilities

Do not care about all zastosovuvani come in thoroughly, M60A1 so and not to lead the sighting from the main battle on the go: the mechanical ringing of the sight of the distant and the M68 garmat did not allow victorious fights with the fights.

In the course of modernization in 1974, the rock, which was called Reliability Improved Selected Eqipment (RISE), was directed to the power plant and electrical equipment with the help of increasing the reliability. New dvigun Continental AVDS-1790-2D, saves the maximum strain of 750 hp, making it a great exploitation resource.

In the course of the third stage of modernization, which started in 1977, the M60A1 boule is equipped with passive attachments of a kind of backing on electronic-optical image sensors. Also, the tanks started to equip themselves with the possession for additional water transfers. At the same time, the M60A1 was equipped with a manhole pipe, the yaka stood over the charging hatch. Machines equipped with cims of ownership were designated by the index М60А1 (RISE / PASSIVE).

М60А1 took part in all the conflicts at Blizkoe Gade, including Arab-Izrailskuyu rock 1973, Irano-Irakske protistoyannya, Livano-Izrailskuyu crisis, Persha viynu u Zatotsi 1990-91. etc. In prototypical supernicks, the M60A1 was known to have a hundred percent, which was effective against the machines that were used for the period. At the time of the crossing, tanks appeared as an effective way to stifle the enemy's fire points. At the end of the day, high-explosive fragmentation ammunition was sold to the general population, such as bullets, for example, in M1 Abrams tanks it took an hour to go to the Persian town.

The main battle tank M60, becoming a cheerleader stage for the production of American tanks and tanks; Characteristically, the American side in the whole zmagannі constantly played in the role of nasdoganyayuchoї. Yogo alternate, M48, opening yak against the T-34-85: "protivagi", right? Until the mid-50s, the designers were able to drive the M48 into a large number of childish ailments, so Patton III was fully suited to the role of a tank, struggling with thirty-four. It’s just that, not for a long time, I’ll go overboard, ”the Americans didn’t wait to get rid of the lulls, but they didn’t look at the recovery of the fair, just a superb tank, as detailed information was received from England.

Singingly, in the English language, the order is analogous to the Russian "extinguish the light" ... True, the complex for controlling the fire of the M48 tank, which includes the optical distant, looking at the more stereoscopic optical distant, giving the navigator a quicker theoretical change, less practical: the attachment is superbly folding at the victor. At the same time, as a new threat emerged, a new tank became known. The design of the promising machine was to blame for the advancement of the design of the M48 (economy hour) and the tighter restraint, which overturned the fall of the T-54. The Americans took over the English 105-mm L7 harness, while the US Army went on to expand the bailout to the M68. The Garmata L7 was tested on the experimental T95 tank, and after the shooting, the English warriors were able to win over the American tank harmatas that were in use at that time.

Zbroya L7 well fit into the tower of the M48 tank, the protest command of the army was poured on the development of the new model of Patton. The installation of a pulling harness did not help the M48's "sores": just the thin armor of the hull, which did not stand up to the shells of the 100-mm harness of the T-54 tank; Pozhezhonesezpechnogo that "unworthy" gasoline engine. The new car was painted as a symbiose of the vezhi M48 with a new 105-mm harness and adapted for the installation of a diesel engine to the hull; the chassis part of the tank did not know the principles of their changes (they replaced the deprivation of the support kovzanki and additional rollers). In the direction of the rounded frontal part of the M48 hull, on the new machine the hull was cut into a snake straight-out shape in the plan; at the same hour, the "pride" of the pererezі was saved by stretching out the effort to build up the corps. Schob "utrimati" the masu of the machine, inevitably the growth of what was dictated by tovstish armor and new, important garmat, brought to drink on a wide scale in the design of aluminum alloys. The mass of "krylate" metal in the design of the M60 has a reach of 3 tons, there is a ready-made chassis, fire tanks, a policeman to wrap around, fenders, as well as a different kind of handle and attachment parts. The designers fought the tank's dissatisfaction with the tricky commander's tower Ml, replacing the low-profile M19 for a larger space.

From the designated M60, a new tank in 1959 was adopted for the US Army's revival. The contract for the provision of 180 vehicles from the first party for the reservation of the replacement for 720 tanks by the army team was signed by the Chrysler company.

M60 on running viprobuds

Warehouse line basht tanks M60

The M60 tank is designed according to the traditional scheme of assembling with control units in the front part of the car, boyovy for control units in the middle part, and motor-transmis- sion in the feed.

The hull of the basht of the tank-lit, with differentiated according to the specifications. Bashta is practically analogous to that of the M48 tank. The aft part of the hull was redesigned for the installation of a diesel engine. The lobova part of the body is not rounded, but rectangular; the front of the armor of the hull with the increase of the shells and the cost of being installed under the great kuts to the vertical, below the armor of the hull of the M48 tank. The upper frontal part for the body is 120 mm thick and overhang to the vertical 64 °; The size of the bottom of the hull in the area of ​​control is 50 and 40 mm. The armor for the corps near the battlefield and MTO was changed to 20 mm. The ability to move to the hull of the M9 bulldozer has been transferred.

Robustly, the mechanics-driving is roztashovane in the form of management strictly on the later axis of the hull. Above the cruise of the mechanics-water, at the upper armor plate, there is a sun hatch (before turning, the hatch is open). In a supposed "combat-like" look at the point of view, go behind the aid of three periscopic visual attachments, the middle of which interconnected yalinkovy ICH attachment M36; pidsvіchuvannya attached to a new tank is equipped with special headlights, which are mounted on the frontal sheet of the body. From the sides of the mechanics-water switch there is a load-bearing - aluminum nests for military constructions up to the M68 harness (15 nests were removed from the seat, 11 - right-handed), without the middle for the battery.

A circular wrap-around head was installed at the middle part of the building. Based on the vezha of the M48 tank, the vezha of the M60 tank knew the smallest changes that were made due to the establishment of the new harmony and the commander's vezha. An important innovation was the replacement of a stereoscopic distant camera with a monocular optical M17 with 10-fold reductions, which is based on the principle of image confusion; base distance - 200 cm. Distance from distance to distance from distance M17 - 500-4000 m; the body of the sight-range-finder of the dressings with the help of the parallelogram mechanism. The treasury part of the zbroi is zednana with the trunk of the sector-specific development, so that I will keep the barrel replaced in the Polish minds. At the middle part of the stovbur, there is a fire-gear for the visualization of powder gases for the construction, the muzzle of the galmo is in the daytime. Kuti of vertical guidance of the harmati - from - 10 ° to +20 °. The evil from the harness, in the harness, the mounting of the 12.7-mm M85 machine gun, the M73 machine gun of the 7.62 mm caliber positioned at the commander's head (vertical guidance of the machine gun from -15 to +60 °). The ammunition set includes 63 units 105-mm built (26 units are expanded at the control unit, 37 - at the combat unit), 1050 packs of up to 12.7-mm caliper and 5500 units of one-piece calibrator Lead the rotation of the bash and the induction of the fire at the vertical area of ​​electrical power, the maximum speed of the rotation of the bash is 24 deg / s, the speed of the induction of the fire at the vertical area is 4 deg / s. I brought a turnaround of the commander's vezhi manually.

Looking around the horizon, the commander will be aware of all the sloping M41 squabbles that are set up along the perimeter of the commander's tower. The commander's bash has a gun sight М71-28С that is equipped with a guard М34, in conjunction with the active ICh attachment of a normal gunnery М36. Infrared light fixtures in a small tank can be found in a high-intensity gas-filled xenon floodlight AN / VSS-1, mounted on a mass of garmat. The navigator has an M31 periscope and an additional M105 telescopic sight; offending hairstyles may be the multiplicity of the increase of 1x and 8x. Aiming of a 12.7 mm harness gun paired with a harness, go for an additional M44 hairstyle. The robot of the navigator, sometimes with the M48 tank, was lodged behind the back of the sub-base gradation of all three hairstyles, which were installed on the victorian of two different types of ammunition - it is possible to fire a series of fire without correcting the mass in the table. One prismatic visual attachment of the fugue wrapping M27 є at the charge.

In the engine-transmis- sion formulation of the 12-cylinder V-auxiliary diesel engine AVDS-1790-A2 of continuous cooling with non-permeable persistent burning and turbocharging; toughness of the diesel engine - 750 liters. Transmisia CD850-6A has two gears forward and one reverse. Dvigun assemblies in a single block with a transmisin, a cooling system and an oil system. Motor-transmіsіyny block of vdovzh hull. The total number of fire tanks in the warehouse is 1420 liters. All the tanks have been removed from the booked service.

The running part of the Viconan tank is behind a six-support scheme from the rear rosettes of the provincial wheels. Mono-motors and individual drives are installed in the middle of the building at its width; telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers of one-sided design without compensating chambers are mounted on the 1st, 2nd and 6th higher education institutions. In addition, at the first that high school there is a springy interconnecting balance. Dynamical travel of the supporting trays - 206 mm. Support rollers dvoshily, gumov, may know disks and mothers from aluminum alloy; kovzanki vzaєmozamіnnі z straight wheels. Pidtrimuyuchi cats (three per board) are also humorous. Wire wheels - with steel notable gear screws. Caterpillars 710 mm wide - with gum tracks T-97 and gum-metal hinges. The resource of the caterpillars from the run of the warehouse is 1500-2000 km.

The radio control of the tank includes one UKH radio station AN / GRC-3 (or AN / GRC-4,5,6,7 or 8), which will prevent a strong call at a radius of 32-40 km, and the tank intercom attachment AN / V1A-4 with a socket for connecting a poloviy phone. In addition, on the M60, a race could be established, which could be done in the frequency range of an accident.

The tank is equipped with an automated fire-prevention system and a filter-ventilation unit E37P1.

M-60A1 at the polygon near Zakhidniy Nimechchin

The first version of the M60 is a singing compromise between the ever-present destruction and the terms of protection: it was recently shown that the armored driver of the M48 could not stand up to shells of the 100-mm radio tank harness.

Having said "A" (new corpus), it was necessary to say "B" (new vezha). Most of the projectile performance of the new design was not only taken care of by the armor, brought up to 180 mm in the frontal part, but by the most beautiful balistic form. Bashta went bigger for sizes, lower vezha M48, which depicts the spontaneously pulling of Americans to the "reduced minds of living". Among the latest innovations are: replacement of the mechanic-water-type kerm wheel with a T-type kerm of a motorcycle type, installation at the infrared device with caution, charging.

Tanks with a new vengeful boule launched in the middle of a new model of the M60A1; The back shoulder strap is old and new, allowing you to carry out a change of models on the storage line painlessly. Serіyne virobnitstvo М60А1 aged 1962 200 tanks in the process of modification were broken into pieces of information for the license from OTO Melara.

At the beginning of the 60s, the command of the US Army in the lead up to the appearance of new Radiansk tanks (T-62, T-64) took over the three-hundred-point program of modernization of the M60A1 tanks.

Repairing since 1971 On the M60A1 tanks, a two-sided Add-On Stabilization system was installed by the Kadillak Gage and Hanwell, new tracks with T-142 tracks, as well as eight-round gum asphalt cushions (resource 5 6. Unimportant to the appearance of the harness stabilizer, the possibility of the aiming fire from the harness during the course of the M60A1 (AOS) tank is practically involved through the manifestation of the mechanical link to the rangefinder with the leaders.

Chergovy stage of modernization programs rozpochavsya 1974 r.

Udoskonalennya became aware of the power plant of the tank and electrical control. Methods of modernization behind the RISE (Reliability Improved Selected Eqipment) program, the reliability of systems and units has been improved. A new version of the diesel-AVDS-1790-2D mav, in addition, a greater resource. After changing the 300-ampere electric starter to a 650-ampere diesel by cutting off the designation AVDS-1790-2С. The М60А1 (RISE) version had the М60А1 (AOS) model cars.

The re-ownership of tanks in the last, third, stage of the pre-construction modernization by the professors began in 1977. At this stage, the vehicle was equipped with passive attachments of a certain tank on the electronic-optical image sensors (M36E1 for the commander and mechanic-water, the commander's attachment to get the water - replace the middle periscope), To the warehouse of the possession for the underwater water, enter the pipelines, which stand over the charging hatch, and directly showcase along the bottom behind the auxiliary hydrocompass. Attachment of a normal battery М36Е1 є modified attachment М36 from the replacement of the active IP module of a normal battery for a passive electronic-optical one. The active and passive modules are interconnected, so there is a possibility of the heating channel, for which a xenon searchlight is saved on the tank.

Modification "A2" became the sacrifices of tanks on the battle rocket launchers, as they were all-powerful in the 60s. The car, more precisely for її I look, was projected near the system of kerovan anti-tank zbroi "Shilela". The rocket was razroblyalas for installation on a light aerotransportable tank M551 "Sheridan". "Shilela" was fired from the harness of a 152-mm caliber, matched to a snake projectile. Potentially miraculous characteristics of the rocket (the accuracy of the target at ranges, 2-2.5 times and turn the distance of the effective shooting with traditional ammunition) were used to force the visibility of the anti-aircraft gun mount / 18 mm

With the help of the development of vezha from 152-mm harness within the framework of the XM66 tank programs, a choice of design designs was prepared (from “A” to “D”). Bashti "A" and "B" were designed from a "blank slate", Mali is obviously low in silhouette and shorter in balistic form; at the rear part of both sides, a 20-mm automatic harness was installed. Vezha "C" was carried out with a traditional design, and a 20-mm harness was mounted in the commander's tower. Have your own charger, option "D", buv attachment pіd 152-mm wider wіd М60А1. Naybilsh promising through menshu masu representatives of the army have recognized option "B".

Two prototypes of the М60А1Е2 missile tank were transferred to the test for 1965-66 rockets. Incompletely, as ATGM "Shillela", so new vezhi appeared on the very cob of the program viprobuvan. Naybіlche problem spawning a powerful rocket charge. The charge was overwhelmingly sensitive to a high degree of lightness, when it was rough with it, detonation was not included, which is found in ammunition with a burning sleeve, the sleeve did not burn out too much. In principle, the charge is not enough for the "sickness of growth", and it takes less than an hour for the podolannya. More serious was the inadequacy of lightweight important security: when a large projectile was built, it was strong, but when a rocket was launched, the response was inadequate, - bringing a new three-hundred-part system of compensation to a new system of post-production

Bazhannya vikorystati Effective anti-tank zasіb vyavilosya great: unaffected by the "sira" design that unfinished program viprobuvan, the US Army asigned in 1966 p. I will buy 243 "rocket" vezh for the installation on the chassis of the already motivated M60A1 tanks and reserve a replacement for 19. An uncomfortable kazka is given signs that it will not be right to be afraid soon - in the background, presented by the US Minister of Defense to the Congress in 1970, meaning: "Zusillia of the army, as a result of the understanding of the M60A1 tank, by the way of integration in the success of the future development of the system; 300 tanks М60А1Е2, transferred before they were purchased by the budget for 1967 financial prices from the current configuration, it is uncomfortable to know that they were taken for restoration; the representatives of the army do not know how to deal with the problems that are connected with the stabilization of the future every hour they have built up to the end of the term; to make sure that the best hopeful person is unlikely to give in. "

Protect armieske command until spring 1971 p. The results of the viprobuvan of the additional prototypes of the M60A1E2 were known to be good. The tank was given the official index M60A2, and in the leaf fall of the same gray vyrobnitstvu that overwhelmed the earlier motivated M60A1 from the version "A2" was given "green light". Ale on the revitalization of the constructional podrozdiliv M60A2 were overpowered in 1973. The status and re-ownership of the M60A2 tanks was valid from 1973-75 rr ..

Unimportant at all its shortcomings, from the point of view of the fire control system (MSA), the M60A2 has become a stage-by-stage machine in the history of the tank building, which has earned me an assessment. Practically, it was not the first successful attempt to integrate the complex of development into one automation system, and the sensors of the primary information, which are viroblyayut the data for the shooter with the harmata. The key elements of the LMS bully a laser dalekomir and an electronic analogue-digital balistic obchlyuvach M19. The development of laser far-flungs in the United States has reckoned on the ear of the 50s, the first experimental viewer of such a distant world, "Kolidar I", which was prepared by the company Hughes Aircraft, and in 1966, a copy of the last 60s for the party. Victory of the laser far-off is not enough to compensate for the apparently low ballistic characteristics of 152-mm strikes when firing with extraordinary projectiles. Relocation of the laser far ahead of the optical field has a higher accuracy in terms of speed up to the point, the possibility of further automation of the process of changing the range and the ease of obtaining with the help of the elements of the automated control system.

М60А1 and tank transporter

М60А1 and self-propelled guns are ready to transport with a lithak С-5А

Tank periscope sight-rangefinder for the M60A2 tank, broken by the Frankford arsenal. Winning information about the modernized day channel to the M32 sight and the electronic components of a portable remote control device based on a ruby ​​laser. The range of the laser far from the distance to the lanceug is from 450 m to 5000 m, the accuracy of the vimir is +/- 10 m.

The fire control system was installed on the M60A2, due to its folding and efficiency in the middle of most ancient tanks, it was only loose from the control system of the Leopard-2 tank. Electronic calculator viroblyaє dan for shooting from urahuvannyam vіdstanі to the mark, the type of projectile, the temperature of the charge, the fluidity that directly to the wind, the atmospheric vice, the quickness and the direct change of the lance of the hardened barrel of the barrel

The M60A2 tank is equipped with a double-sided system of stabilization of the health and the free-running attachments of a normal tank.

The ammunition kit for the harness / launcher, including 13 ATGM "Shilela" and 33 152-mm built. Additional protection is analogous to the M60A1 tank: one gun caliber of 7.62 mm was installed at the commander's tower, and one 12.7 mm gun was mounted at the mastsi garmati. Problems from the "V" were spoken by the engineers of the company Chrysler shukati alternatively the solution of the problem. Vykhid bachivya in the adaptation of the vezhi "One" American-Western tank MVT-70 to the hull of the M60A1 tank. Bashta MVT-70 is small in the distance, from the look of abduction, shape, and the great size and weight allowed the problem of overworldly extravagance, moreover, it was allowed to install 152-mm XM150 with the traditional ... Nuclear ammunition was destroyed in the next hour for the XM 150 harma. The ammunition set up to the harness was formed from 57 rounds and 13 ATGMs. The installation of the "B" vezha changed the M60 mass by approximately two tons, for example, the installation of the vezhi from the MVT-70 - navpaki, zbilshuvav the mass for up to 800 kg.

Failures with the rocket vezha called for another challenge to the fire of Patton's team - to stand on a new experimental arm with the promising 120-mm Delta missiles. However, the development of this option was annulled through a marriage of finances: the left part of the budget of the Ministry of Defense went to the end of India. The project of the M60 tank zi 120-mm znryaddyam vіdomy yak model "K"; a bullet was prepared for a shonaimensche one "K" vezha with a 120-mm harmatoy.

Tank version A3 became the last modification of the M60, launched in the middle of the world. In the yogh design, there is no doubt about it, it’s getting rid of the modernization of the M60A1, the development of the M60A2, and the new design, which appeared in the battles of the nearby war of 1973.

The reason for the loss of fret in the battle minds of the powerless M60 was the wedge of vezhi: the drive did not start to turn, I could "grind" the shell of the projectile, but I was "wedge". Spravnі tanks in general were given the opportunity to lead an aiming fighter, because of whom they became an easy target for the Arab anti-tank forces, as they left behind the Pattonies. The installation of forced electric power drives often violated the problem, I would like, sanely, if there’s a blank, I’m so stuck, I’m not able to drive a drive. They did not respectfully recommend themselves in the combat minds of the M73 kulemeti, which later replaced the larger Belgian MAG-58 (American designation M240).

In the 1970s, the most popular priority was not the modernization of the M60, but the development of the new XM1 tank, so the additional support of the M60A1 was transferred to the notice of Doomsday warnings to not make radical changes in the design. For example, the installation of straightened drives of turn-overs was easy to finish, without sticking out of their systems and aggregates. Still, the Arab-Izrailska Viyna was born in 1973. became the reason for the appearance of light M60A3. In order to keep the chimals in the tanks of their strategic ally from Europe to Israel, the Americans threw hundreds of M60A1s in the tanks, which themselves changed the armored vehicle to a critical level. The production of the new M1 tanks was overturned, the program of the door slipped out of the way, and, moreover, the generals propelled them into anuluvati, zoosered all the Zusillas on the reduced M60. The yak is often a boon, the most beautiful compromise solution: the robot over the Abrams may be prodded, roaring in parallel with the Patton version.

Column of tanks М60А3

In order to improve the flexibility of striking the metal on the move, with the first construction on the M60A3, we installed a control system in the fire, broken down on the basis of the OMS of the M60A1 and M60A2 tanks. The complex attached to the commander of the M60A3 tank is stored from a laser monocular sight-distant AN / VVG-2, a periscope combined (with the same channels) sight / attached with a caution M36E1 and eight flaps M41, installed at the commander. Laser sight-rangefinder of installations on the landing of the optical distance M17. For the purpose of the laser viprominuvannya vyzuvannya vykorystovuyutsya rights to the armor head, which was lost from the optical distant. Laser distant equipment with a wine control panel, installed at the navigator; The value of the distance to the room with the help of the wine control panel gives you a hundred percent. The guide is the main combination of the M35E1 sight and the M105D auxiliary telescopic sight, similar to the vicorist one on the older M60 models.

The tank is equipped with a Hughes M21 digital balistic enumerator on solid elements, however, the M60A3 MSA has not yet been “tied” into a single complex - really, the first construction was too problematic for tactile workers, who didn’t need to be bogged down. two-sided systems of stabilization of zbroi. The M21 machine is equipped with a built-in self-control system, which allows testing the elements without powering, and the M21 is connected to the M21 system and is controlled by the system.

Suitable up to М60А1 (PASSIVE) on М60А3 є interchangeable active and passive modules for attaching any tank. I would like to use the AN / VSS-3A xenon floodlight, so I can take a little more pressure to cope with the AN / VSS-1 floodlight of the M60A1 tank. The special feature of the AN / VSS-3 floodlight is the victorian of the dull metal wedge, which allows you to smoothly change the width of the change from 1 to 7 °.

Stovbur harness of the M60A3 tank equipped with a heat-insulating casing. With the use of masquerading cars on the battlefield in the MTO, thermodynamic equipment was mounted (upriskuvannya firing in the strum of hot swirling gases). The TDA on the American tank showed up in the flow of a successful victory of similar equipment by Arab tankers, who fought on Radiansk tanks, possessed by such dimogenerators. To add to the TDA on the sides of the M60A3, one block of M239 dimov grenade launchers is mounted (the number of grenade launchers at the block); M239 є adapted before the English grenade launcher was installed on the M60, so that they could use the "Chifteni". Dimogenerators were installed on the M60A3 near Fort Noks in the mid-70s, some of the equipment consisted of two barrels with firing, which were installed on the MTO dacha, and nozzles that could use the firing barrels without the middle strings.

Serіyne virobnitstvo М60А3 has become old 1978 r.

Z 1979 p. a released version of the M60A3 TTS (Tank Termal Sight), equipped with a thermal sight of the AN / VSG-2 navigator, which can provide a thermal channel to the commander. Polygon viprobuvannya new thermal sight passing in 1977 p. on M60 tanks at Fort Knox and Yumі. At the top of the tank, it was found that the atmospheric parameters were given, the information of which was entered into the balistic calculator automatically. Rivn complex SUO is vishy, ​​not on tanks of larger early models. The automatic contour of the control system of the ammunition includes a tank balistic enumerator M21, a commander's sight-far-commander AN / WG-2, a sighting device AN / VSG-1 (settings replace the sight of the M35E1), a stabilizer for an atmospheric sensor, and an atmospheric sensor The aim of the commander of the M36E1 is the additional reason of the navigator, we will not count.

Modernization of the M60A1 tanks, which were used by the US Army, the M60A3 TTS ranged in 1981.

U 1982-83 b.r. The laboratory of balistics of the Aberdeen proving ground was carrying out an increase in the ability to resist the capture of the M60 tank from the ATGM from the cumulative combat part of the path of the installation of overhead dynamical armor. Viprobuvannya tanks with a dynamo zakist bulo rospochato at the Aberdeen polygon in linden 1985 p. Additional firearms with small anti-tank ammunition were carried out for three M60A3 tanks possessed by reactive armor and three hulls and vezha.

Z 1988 p. Tanks М60А3 to the US Marine Corps were equipped with a dynamically charged gun.

Tank "Super M60" from the Teledine Continental company proponent at the light of ideas about the vidmovu from the market and the virobnitstva M1, which is favored by the representatives of the general government.

The company "Teledine Continental" was specially designed for the valves of tank diesel engines of the AVDS-1790 series. The project of radical polishing of the M60A1 boilers was made by the engineers of the company. Oskіlki new MAV engine is approximately the same size, but the AVDS-1790 diesel engine can be built without any special problems in the MTO of the M60 tank.

The running mock-up of the "Super M60" tank was developed by the Teledine Continental engineers at the cooperative from the Western company Renk. Practically, a new tank, which goes all the way to the M60 in a larger world, not the M60 goes all the way to the M48. Bigger tighter diesel engine jamming the installation of a new hydromechanical transmission (Rank RK-304); The replacement of the torso section of the supporting catches is individually hydropneumatic. Strengthening the armor to the enemy, the projected zrobiti for the rakhunok moving to the vidstan is approximately 20 mm from the surface of the hull and all the armor plates, the running part was primed with the armor screens. The power of the empty space was transferred to the main and overhead armor with polymeric materials.

Robots on the "Super M60" tank were carried out by the Teledine Continental and Renk companies on their own with the help of the US Army's support from the side of the US Army, for the transfer of modernization to the "M60A1" pre-M60. There was no need for such replacement. Additional information about the "Super M60" book of preparations for the 70s rockies.

The failure of the project to modernize the M60 tanks for the replacement of the US National Guard. The program transferred the modernization of 12 tanks in 1989, 48 - in 1990. that 120 - at 1991 p., with the coming entry to the level of 450 cars on the river. For financial reasons, the program was canceled. Transferred, scho the M60A4 tank will be loaded with a 120-mm smooth-bore harness; on a new plan to install a new diesel engine taut 1050 hp, automatic transmission, put on armor, low-profile commander's head; make it easy to move the part and turn the filter.

Serial production of M60 tanks was deployed at the arsenal in Detroit from 1959 to 1987, the first prototype M60 bullets were produced at the Chrysler plant in Delaware. Usogo was motivated by 15,221 tanks (zokrema 900 cars of modification М60, 520 - М60А2, 1811 - М60А3, 1200 newly excited М60А3 were supplied by the third country); 200 cars of the M60A1 version were ordered in the Italy for the license from OTO Melara. U 1980-1987 rr. M60 tanks were prepared by the United States without export.

At the turn of the 70s and 80s. a large number of M60 tanks, like the bullets on the defended army of the defense of Israel, they rejected the sets of the dynamical zakist "Blazer"

by Rafael. On the tanks, a 7.62-mm mule-gun was installed beforehand on the pivot arm, from the charging hatch, and the caliber 12.7 mm caliber muffler was fastened nervously on the caliber mass. The Izrailskiy Pattonies removed the low-profile commander's caps "Urdan" with the open installation of 7.62 mm machine gun;

Super M60

Izrailskiy M60 with elements of the dynamical zahist "Blazer"

The project of modernization of American tanks M60A1, which was used for the revived army of the defense of Israel, was destroyed by the order of Major General Izrail Tal.

The main Zusilla Tal zoosered in the growth of the strength of the seizure of the tank. The mass of the modernized tank "Magach 7" became 54 tons, and that of the mass of the outgoing M60 - 49.7 tons. from the tracks, similar to those of Vikoristov on the Merkava tanks, sparing 1.7 tons of "clean" carriage.

Unimportant to those who are growing up, the tank's weight has been dying, the fragments of the original dvigun are taut 750 k.s. the M60 tank was replaced with a forced Teledine AVDS-1790-5A diesel engine (908 hp; the engines were also installed on the Merkava Mk.l tanks). A single block with a diesel engine is equipped with a modified Allison CD-850-6BX transmition. At the motor-transmіsіynuyu mounted an automatic fire-fighting system of the company Spectronix.

Doopratsyuvannya know the running part of the tank. New torsion rods were broken on the base of the American tanks M1 "Abrams".

Dodatkov's armor, mounted on the tower, signified to be the best for the masu; In addition, the bash of the Magach 7 tank has not been balanced. In order to save the turn of the bash on the level of the M60 tank, the pressure on the hydraulic drive to turn the bash of the Magach 7 tank has been improved by the way to move the grip of the working life in the hydraulic system.

The system of keruvannya has an optical distant laser. Installed: new aim of the navigator with a new channel, electronic balistic enumerator and a type of sensor system. The position of the optical axis to the sight of the guide is synchronized with the entire barrel of the zombie. A new optical sight was installed at the commander. The commander's head of the M60 tank was replaced by a new, lower head “Urdan” of the Israeli design. To change the trunk deflection in the process of shooting on the barrel of a 105-mm mounting, a thermal insulating casing.

A number of Dimov grenade launchers are installed on the skin side of the vezh in the front part. Defensively, the tank should be equipped with two MAG caliber 7.62 mm caliber guns, mounted on the back of the tank in order with the hatches of the commander and the navigator. A 12.7-mm mule-gun was installed on the garmati mastsi, a stovbur parallel to a stovbur zbroi. The great-caliber kulemet is victorious to be the head rank at navchannes, if the harmat is aimed at the target, and the gunman is led from the kulemet.

Tank "Sabra" є by the applied extension "Magach 7". At a small place during the modernization of the M60 to the level of "Magach 7", theft was set, now an order of magnitude has been given to food about the increase in the fire pressure of the tank. The "Sabra" tank is loaded with a 120-mm smooth-bore armata MG251 (vikorystovuetsya on the "Merkava" MK.Z tank), ammunition for such upgrades with up to 120-mm NATO tank banners. Project of modernization M60 in Sabru vikonaniy fakhivtsyami firmi IMI (Izrail Militari Іndastriz). The revision of the installation of 120-mm stock on the M60 was carried out in 1994-95.

For the first time "Sabra" was demonstrated at the exhibition "Evrosatori" 98 ", there are plans to modernize up to the level of" Sabra "650 M60 tanks of the army for the defense of Israel.

U 1999 p. Fakhivtsy from Jordan and Switzerland prompted a prototype of the M60A1 tank, filled with a 120-mm smooth-bore harness with a barrel of 50 calibres, broken by the company Sviss Order Enterprise. The bullet was installed in the tower of the tank to replace the 105-mm drug M68 at the plant in the Swiss town of Thun, for which the tower was delivered to Jordan. Remaining foldable tank was found at King Hussein's factory in Jordan. Forward M60 with 120-mm people were shown publicly at the international exhibition of the technology YUEX99 in the United Arab Emirates.

The 120-mm armor of the bullet was broken up due to the program of modernization of the Swiss tanks Pz.68, the yaku, with a sreshtoyu, was annulled.

Firma GDLS (General Dynamics Land System) for participation in the competition for the main battle tank for the young forces of Turechchini prepared a project of radical modernization of the M60 tank. The modernized vehicle is guilty of a combination of advanced gears and the M60 hull and the M1A1 Abrams tank with a 120-mm smooth-bore harness. The power plant will turn on the AVDS-1790 diesel engine, pushing 1200 hp. that automatic transmission Allison X1100-5. The Americans will use the M60-2000 and other powers, and the most powerful ones will have tanks of the M60 type. Zokrem, the Hybrid M60 and "Abrams" were caught by the Egyptians. Egypt is transferring to conduct an assessment of the prototype test (if prompted) at its polygons.

The lower end of the A-type shot was 9 t hingedly connected with pins, welded to the top of the tank. At the abominable position, the arrow sank behind the pole. Expedition of Keru to all special-purpose possessions without going out of the car.

The tank is equipped with a short-barreled 165 mm harness, which is a modernized version of the L9A1 English harness.

The vehicle is designed for control of passages near the outskirts of the city, ukrittiv and caponiv for combat equipment, evacuation of tanks stuck from the battlefield before the fire of the enemy, as well as for robbery of cranes and emergency robots.

Bridge stowage M60AVLB є Bridge construction bridge stowage on the base of the M48 tank, practically without changes, is applied to the hull of the M60 tank. Additional support was given to the institute of fastening the cantilever expansion bridge to the hull.

The first M60 hoped for the restoration of construction workers in the US Army in 1960. Redeployment of armored vehicles and armored cavalry battalions to new technology from Mali has a high priority; Zokrem, they took away battalions of the 33rd armored regiment of the 3rd tank division. Cars with a complete model М60А1 showed up at the canopy of 1962 rock.

"Rocket" tanks М60А2 were planned for rebuilding in the mid 70s. They have been staffed with a number of battalions, quartered near Nimechchin; We cleaned up the tanks by cutting off the 1st battalion of the 2nd armored regiment of the 3rd tank division. The rapid progress of the control systems in the fire of tank harnesses for the transfer of the ATGM "Shillela", and in the most unpopular middle of the tanks M60A2, the rapid development of the stage. Bashti with 152-mm harnesses went to the metalwork, and the hulls of the tanks served as the base for the AVLB bridgeheads. The assignment of eksipazhiv to their tanks characterizes the im'ya "Computerized agony", yak

the tanks of one from the M60A2 gave their machines. For the irony of the battalion, the battalions were redeployed to M60A2 from the M60A1 tanks, and for the sake of the defense of the M60A2 rocket launchers, the M60A1 was redeemed.

Vvazhaєtsya, how the christening in the fire of the M60 was taken away from V'utnam, kudi for viprobuvan from the battle minds was corrected by the party of tanks, protest about the fate of the battles was not at all visible. The main vehicles of the American armored infantry squads, which were made in India, were the M48 Patton III and M551 Sheridan bullets.

Surrounding parts of the first line of the US Army, M60 tanks were loaded onto reserve infantry, infantry units of the National Guard, and parts of the Marine Corps (KMP). The skin division of the marine industry is small at its warehouse, one armored battalion, up to 70 M60 tanks on board. M60 cleared out on the armored battalions of the KMP on the ear of the 90s.

Five M60A1 tanks to the US Marine Corps took part in the visadtsi on Grenada in 1983. M60 corps of the seafathers became the first American tanks, delivered to Saudi Arabia beforehand "Tempest in the Pustle" 1990-91 rr. In boyovykh diyakh, however, “I play the violin” was played not by Pattoni, but by Abramsi.

The first reference change for the M60 was a short-lived version of 1973 p. Izrail was widely victorious in the M60s at the Doomsday War, and at the battles of Livana in 1982-83. For indirect signs it is possible to get a low assessment of the American tank by the Israelis. At the same time pislya viyni 1973 r. In Izrail, there was a hot shukati way to make it harder for the "Pattons" to be stolen (the result of the shouts was the appearance of the new dynamical armor "Blazer"); In one of the interv'yu intermaps, an Israeli officer, who prompted to be unreported, saw the American tanks from T-54 and T-62, 'Iazani їхni visokі vstrat in tanks. ".

Hundreds of times the M60 was fitted with the lowest armored vehicles, it means that the Americans were able to install Pattonies with radians' tanks, shy about the mad crossover of overseas technology over the radians based on hundreds of Arab tanks. Hundreds of "hundreds of broken tanks", I guess I’ll say Stalin’s phrase from the drive: “It’s not important, like vote, important, like vvazhayut”. In the given vipadku, as they respected, talk to that about the action of spying without a blind eye: the field of battle was lost for Israel, the Arabs could not learn their tanks, at that hour the Israelites were taking over. On the other hand, why wouldn’t the M60 be ruled out by the old “classmates”? The picture will not be called upon to be "American": the English "Chieftain", and the old "Leopard-1" will turn the M60 upside down for all the articles. It’s not for nothing that Israel wanted to buy the Chifteni, and not the M60;

The reader has the right to supply power: "Why does the author of the article need to go through the whole hour to the letter?" Everything is even simpler - my history is no worse than my history, and the state is at the base of permanent war from susides. Mlyavi the police with the terrorists were periodically changed by large-scale military conflicts, in some tanks of the army of the defense they recommended themselves as the best preparation in the world. Moreover, the Israeli tankers have the principle of foreign national zaboon and combat technology (such as "Russia - Batkivshchyna of elephants", "America - a mustache"). Well, the tank has an effective system of damage, but the devil of destruction, in Detroit, is not so important to Nizhny Tagil.

Rowing M60 tanks with the tanks of the other countries, next to the brothers to respect and even more unenviable tank-building at the US military-industrial complex. Nicoli's armored vehicles did not belong to the most recent priorities for the Pentagon; Navit army was not very quick to give the rewagon to the helicopters, and not armored vehicles to the garmat. It’s possible, and I’ll explain, unprecedentedly for the United States, the victorious establishment of universities and units of the "overseas virobnitstva" at the design of their tanks: harness (105-mm English and 120-mm nimetska), armor (British) "Chobhem." Beast of respect is also called a company, how to deal with virobnitstvom elements of the system and keruvannya in the fire-Hughes Aircraft. The name speaks for itself; everything is nicer - aviation, tanks - for the "surplus principle". For such a speech I will speak to the American tank for a long time to respect the line of development of the "Patton" tanks in full truth, and that is true - M60A3TTS - to some kind of technical achievements. Despite the victorious changes of the tank, on the M60 it is entirely possible to fight against any enemy, but, to the point, and brought the tanks of the army of the defense of Israel. But all the same, "Patton" will not be better than the most beautiful in the light, but the most beautiful on the Entry. It’s not for nothing that the country did not become victorious with deep "armored" traditions, such as Israel; as for the meaning of vishche, the type of izrail is political, and not vyskovo-technical. Such "dog z'ili" on tanks Fakhivtsi, yak nimtsi, by the way "naїlisya" M48 was respected for brilliantly destroying their car.

Another great conflict of Vіyskovym, in which the M60 tanks took a fate, was the Irano-Irakska Vіyna. On the revived army of Shah, there was close to 400 M60A1. Vidomy epizod tsієї vіyni, since birch 1986 p. 56 MiG-23BN VPS Iraku "shunned" the purchase of Iranian armored vehicles in the Akhfaz region, increasing the mechanized division. At the same time, they became close to 500 tanks and armored personnel carriers, the head rank, M60 and M113.

Egyptian M60 on Navchannes

Mill at the end of 1999, M60 tanks were deployed in Austria (169 M60A3), Bahrain (180 M60A3), Greece (357 M60A1, 312 M60A3), Egypt (835 M60AE, 50 M60AE, 680400, M360A1 ), Irani (50 M60A1), Spain (244 M60A3, 66 M60A1), Ameni (140 M60A1), Omani (6 M60A1.43M4), Sudan (20 M60A3), Thailand (53 M60A1, 125 M60A3; negotiate about the purchase USA party s 107 M60A3TTS), Taiwan (460 M60A3), Tunis (24 M60A1) and Turechchini (11).

Tanks of the M60A1 option are step-by-step known from the plant, for example, Austria is going to turn around for the original pleasure. "Pattoni" is also listed for sales at the price of metal - 169 tanks for 21 million dollars, the Austrian needs to buy 9-12 special transport helicopters for a water hour. Firma Sikorskiy virishila "tied" the tanks with lithal devices, proponuvavshis about the old M60 on the new "Black Hawks", stuck the helicopter market of the Austrian Republic. Surely, it’s not smart, but robotic helicopters with a purchase of armor, caterpillars, if that garmat with a huge weight of 8500 tons.

Saperny tanks M728 began to come to the revival of the US Army in 1966, from 1987. The supply of cars to the pidrozdilam of the National Guard was welcomed. Combat the fate of the battles sapper tanks took on the final stages of the battle in India. For non-revised data, on the M728 rakhunka є one of the pivnichno-V'Etnam T-54, fired in the distance with a 165-mm howitzer.

Outside the United States, sapper tanks M728 were reloaded on the defenses of Saudi Arabia.

Bridge construction on the base of the M60 tanks, as it is, on the base of the M48, the US Army widely took over from the V'utnamia. The Israelites vikoristovuyu M60AVLB for forcing the Suetsky canal near the vіynі 1973 r. The bridges helped the tank units of the army for the defense of Israel to receive the help of the Palestinians' railroad tracks near Livan, 1982 p.

* When a conduit pipe is installed, the tank is built up along the bottom of the water pereshkodi up to 5 m.

Welcome everyone, dear friends! Today in the guide you can see from both sides one more unique tank, which was given only for cargo on the global map. On our portal there is already a guide on, and it means an hour of delivery of a special American medium tank 10 rivnya - in front of you is a guide on M60!

By day, М60 World of Tanksє an analogue of a pre-sliddzhuvanny average tank of 10 ryvnya - which appeared in our group for a long time already and in the course of statistics, periodically, occasionally, the brothers for the nation. And at the same time, let’s know a lot about our neighbor’s current guest.

About the tank

American M60 tankє unique, but it means that you can reload the trip from any American medium tank without a fine, and I’ll give you additional information for the bags, whether it’s a fight, I’m talking about all the premium technology, including the farms without additional credit.

Dazzle on M60 at WoT You can easily look at the good old Patton, visually glimpse the fact that the M60 has a spotlight on top of the frame and changes the shape of the body. We will help you to replace the old one in the future and we will be the same M60A1. The performance characteristics are also sparse and the stench cannot be lost. M60 a new tank, and depriving the analogue of the rotations, but about everything in order.

TTX M60 at World of Tanks

We will be able to fix and fix the knowledge of the machine because our American has a standard supply of power for the ST-10 worlds, as well as a very good base radius around 420 meters.

Bronyuvannya M60

Everything is bad enough for the armor parameters; For a reason, why have M60 specifications armor chola to the corps girshe, niz at the brother-in-law, who can be pumped. In other words, the VLD of the given reach is about 230 millimeters, which is not so bad, but the technique of the tenth line can be broken through without any particular problems.

Vezha bilya M60 World of Tanks Reservations are more beautiful, but only because they are astonished at the figures. I don’t care for those who have a tank element, I’ll have a rounded shape, all the same, they didn’t have a better armor here, and the forehead has a larger part of the weight in the area of ​​230 mm, but in the beveled units themselves the price of growth is about 300 mm, which is about 300 mm you can. However, there is still a need for a memory about the majesty, and I’m just pushing the commander’s basht into the yak without any problems.

I respect the beasts for the projection of the child medium tank M60 abductions nabagato gіrshe. If we are at the side of the ship, there will be some kind of development on the battlefield, but it will be easy to apply Skoda and naval, when turning the hull, the top armor will be able to penetrate us.

I will look at the rupture, everything can be great. Maximum speed M60 tank WoT Having cut off the weak, ale, in the dynamism, did not act to navigate the Radiansky ST-10;

Zbroya M60

Otzhe, u M60 by far It's a good and standard water hour behind the worlds of large classmates in alpha-trips, as well as a good rate of fire, you can apply as many as 2,700 units of pure school for sickness (about 150 lower, lower for the M48A1 Patton).

With our vipadam the situation is even better, M60 World of Tanks It’s easy to break through a large number of opponents, but in order to get a shkodi, it’s important to book technology in the forehead, or to charge a gold, or just to load an opponent on board, but with our collapse it’s more real.

The accuracy of our vipad has become comfortable, but not from a relative, and even more acceptable. Yak bachite, rozkid American medium tank M60 I do not mind, I wish it was not nice, but the speed of the appearance in our view of the miracle, the same stabilization at the height.

Ostannє, about scho varto nobility M60 WoTє By the master of comfortable vertical guidance cuts, the stovbur bend downwards by 9 degrees, and it is even more acceptable.

Crossings and shortcomings М60

Achieve the principle of the green on a given tank, on the eye, on the other hand when choosing the middle technology for the Central Committee, it is important to think about the main strengths and weak sides M60 World of Tanks... For you it will be simpler orinuvatisya, we will pick up the nuances of okremo.
Plus:
Wonderful distance to look around;
Good ruggedness;
Skoda visoka for Khvili;
Good accuracy and stability;
Vidminny armor penetration;
Comfortable kuti of vertical guidance.
Minusi:
Great dimensions of the tank;
Zagalom in the middle of the armor;
The commander's vezha is majestic.

Ustatkuvannya for M60

As you know everything, the installation of additional modules can both improve the weak side of the tank, so that it can be used even more. In our vipadku all respect will come to another aspect itself, tobto tank M60 possession then put like this:
1. - unaffected by those who have a Skoda in khvilinu we have and is so good, it’s too big її nіkoli not buvaє, so that the vibration is obvious.
2. - with the help of the additional modules, we can handle the accuracy and the ability to create a school at a glance.
3. - we have the best look at the bottom of the module to make sure that it is a good markup to the other parameters of the tank.

Startup on M60

Not the least important aspect, but also more promising, if pumping up the experience. Vibor diminish the need to come up with a lot of respect, so the leather perk can be much more tightly embedded in your comfort in battle, and if you speak globally, you can see the result of a battle. In such a rank, for M60 perks More beautifully in this last:
Commander -,,,.
Guide -,,,.
Mekhanik-vodiy -,,,.
Charger (radio operator) -,,,.

My vibir:

Orderly for M60

With the development of the situation, it’s starting to be simple, even if it’s too early to see it, so there can be a day for standards. If you don’t want to be a strong minus, you can go to,,. If everything is in the same order because of the stocks of credits and there is no money to be consumed, it is more efficient to carry M60 combining at the viglyad,,. Moreover, our American does not burn so often, but it does mean that the remaining option can be replaced.

Gris tactics on the M60

In battles, we can achieve the standard grids on the M48A1, but now the adjustments to the accuracy can be positioned as a sniper yak. In other words, for M60 tactics You can allow the conduct of the battle at great distances and the position on the other and to navigate the third line.

Give active sign B-C 25t. we cannot, ale passively, the light will become insecure. Besides, the average Skoda in 390 is one М60 World of Tanks Yes, we can wonderfully work out in pairs with middle-sized tanks, and the UVN control allows us to maximally use the relief of the vehicle, but don't forget about the size of the tank, which can be finished with a foldable grab for an unlucky purchase.

Promise of stabilization of healthy permissiveness M60 WoT grate in the "goydalku" with opponents vikoristovuchi relєf pictures і don’t take the projectiles of the sorcerers with my faith, but through not improving the stability we were brought to robiti on the M48A5.

It's a pity that the spotlight on the tower does not give us enough meters to look around, but not the material part of the tank, but it means firing in a new one, we can't get a shit. American medium tank M60 Even if the artillery hits straight, if a shell hits the side, about one thousand points of energy are guaranteed, and if they get into the stern, the number of points of energy is not included in the stern, but two thousand points of energy. Enough enough to drive our tank to the hangar. If the "valiza" has pissed you at the cholo, then you should be encouraged to be deprived of the VBR.

Pidsumovuchi, you can say, scho M60 tank feel the best on the 3rd line. We either stand in the booths and the graєmo in the "invisible sniper", or take a position for the passive glorification and victory of his ability to create a shkodi vorogov.

For optimal solutions for combining cich styles, for example, on the cob in battle M60 WoT You can take the position and the enemy's presence, our team was shooting, and then the allies' approach to the 1st line of the attack and also carefully shoot the enemy, or get in front of the auxiliary command, but there are three more behind.

Pidsumok

Now M48A5 Patton III and M60 have become one type of one. As soon as an American has to pump, є armor and DPM, then the tank for the global map will reduce the dynamism and accuracy. Only one thing is not the same one, it’s the same - the priceless viglyad. Tom M60 as a prize for the event at the Central Committee has become relevant once again.
