The M60 series served as the primary main battle tank of the United States and its allies through the defining decades of the Cold War. Standardized in 1959 to counter Soviet armor advancements, the original design was succeeded in 1962 by the M60A1 variant, which introduced a redesigned, elongated turret for better ballistic protection and crew space. Over 15,000 M60-series tanks were produced before assembly ended in 1987, seeing extensive combat deployment with the Israeli military in the 1973 Yom Kippur War and with the US Marine Corps during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
