Aloha everyone!!! Does anyone have any photos of Iranian M60's? I've come across very few while doing a Google search. And does anyone know if the Iranian army uses different paint schemes for the different regions their units serve?

Thank you in advance!!!!

I haven't seen that many. The majority of their M60's were in an overall sand scheme with the small roundel on all 4 sides.

It seems that some recent ones have a two tone medium brown / sand scheme.

Good luck!

Which version are you looking for? The basic M60A1 or the upgrade "Samsam" version?

Here's the photo I think?



Interesting that it's got an M48 fender on the right rear.

Hey can anyone tell me whatever happened to the reactive tiles that were used by the Marine Corp for their M60's? Were they simply destroyed or were they sold off too?
