Yeah I've seen it ,But according to people in israel it''ll be at least a year before any unit will have them.while it'll be the best yet the m60s can handle anything jordan,syria and lebanon can throw at Israel. and if egypt comes a callin with its m1s there are plenty of mk3s to to dend them back to the foundry.

I bet those surrounding nations are too afraid to take on Isreal in another conventional tank battle. They seem more content to supply the terrorists with explosives.

Maybe your right sabot but either way The m60 is compared to modern western armor way under gunned and needs to much added armor to keep it viable for much longer. I thunk this will be one place the insanity for the last 2 years will have a deteimental effect on production.
