  • muitoo boom

  • 1970s "Hell On Wheels 2rd Armored Divsion and i would go back in a DAM MINUTE

  • A fully upgraded one of these old timers will still ruin your fucking day. Just put a TOW launcher on this MF and it's back in the game.

  • Cry all you want about tanks but the A10 would put the fear of god in all of them

  • @iggsta3o5 who cares? tanks are much more important in a fighting column than an a10

  • @YB49887 As a former infantryman i can say tanks essential but A10s are a GODSEND

  • @iggsta3o5 right up until you have to start supporting them with softskinned fuel trucks. not to mention a sam would put the fear of god into any aircraft pilot. a10s are good but tanks have a much more defining role

  • @YB49887 Speaking of softskinned support whats the gas milage on on an a1m1 and how many trucks does it take to keep those things going. Abrams are not convoy support they take a convoy just to support it. A10s have a more defining role they are tank killers and sam killers. Sams are dangerous but whats easier to obtain sams or tanks. Also take into account A10s are Sam killers they have more counter measures for sams than a tank has against another tank, infantry, or javelin.

  • @iggsta3o5 Tanks cant compare the Gulf war proved that more than tanks the biggest killer of any tank is hte A10. The best convoy support was an A10 and the best convoy killer was the A10. In the end sure we need tanks but The A10 built in the 70s will outlast any current aircraft or tank of its generation

  • @iggsta3o5 1st the abrams is well known for being a thirsty pig. lets try something equal in firepower but more efficint say the t-90 which has a range of 340–400 miles. this gives the tank plenty of time to get in get out and refuel and restock. a aircraft needs high grade highly flammable jet fuel which can only be used to power jets. you also need a runway. and when you are deep into contested ground you cant always throw down a runway.the t-90 also has anti air countermeasures as well

  • tanto tempo que nao ouvia estes animais a disparar pena nao estar ai quando chegou os leopardos gostava de os ver

  • Well, if you want to give a try to King tiger vs M-60, at least give the KT it's final (end/post-war configuration), give him a 105mm ^^

    Anyway, those 2 tanks are quite impresive!

  • King Tiger vs M-60? Problem is not range but penetration.

    88mm HVAP round fired from KwK43 could penetrate ~150mm armor at 2km (190mm at 1km), with 50% hit chance at tank sized target. That's unsufficient to defeat turret armor (~350mm), but may penetrate front hull (110-195mm).

    With 60's ammunition and fire controls 105mm L7 gun was just as accurate. But it offered ~225mm penetration at 2km.

    So for M60 any hit=penetration, while Tiger's would need luck to destroy M60 in frontal combat.

  • this is in PORTUGAL

    força Portugal

  • This "best tank in the world statement" is made by morons. All of the tanks of the modern world have strengths and weaknesses. Its unlikely that any of the maggots in this forum have any real experience to offer us. Just a bunch of stupid children.

  • SCREW ALL OF YOU, THE KIND TIGER HAS ALL F THE TANKS BEAT!!!

  • @himmler251 No..... wouldn't stand a chance against this M60 series. They'd be touching it with SABOT long before it could engage with its little 88mm. Great tank in WWII, but ALL tanks beat? Don't thing so.

  • @himmler251

    the "Kind Tiger"

    thats a pussy name for a tank

  • @SaintsSpecOps King Tiger, my phones keybad is FUBAR

  • tankers of the caribbean?

  • @sirkieranis

    Panzers of the Caribbean.

  • @nakazatoGTR that sounds better but it's not a panzer

  • @sirkieranis well panzer is general german word for tank... nothing biggie... at least it starts with P...

  • @nakazatoGTR lol the m60 patton and i'm not much of a fan of german

  • @sirkieranis  XD

  • @sirkieranis LMFAO!!!!!!

  • i also do think leopard 2 tank is probably best one there is but since it wasn't put in combat, theres no way to say for certain, right now i think British challenger 2 holds the title

  • @ArmoredSaint848 Agreed, the only shooting the Leopard 2 has ever done was on a range. I've been inside an Abrams while being shot with RPG's and rockets. That beast can take a beating. We also ran over an IED in an Abrams before. Blew off all the tracks and all the sideskirts on the left side, but the turret still traversed and the main gun still worked. We just sat there and pulled security until Recovery could get to us. IMO, the Challenger 2 is the best in the world followed by the older M1.

  • @ArmoredSaint848

    HAHHAAHAHAHAHAH, British Challanger 2? LOLZ, bullshit, its the worst out of the latest generation tanks.

  • @gosciu555 it just shows that you know fuckin nothing about modern tanks typical fuckin troll read about challanger 2 first you dumb fuck

  • The T-64 is the only tank at it's time that Russian never sold to another country. That says alot about it right there. I've operated an M60 and while never operated or seen the inside of a T-64 everything I've read would make me not want to go against a T-64 with an M60. M60 may have had okay armor for it's day but no where near today's standard. Crew surviabiltiy is also horrible. The main gun ammo is expoded to the crew.

  • The T-72's have poor armor and the auto load does not allow you to fire effectively on the move. The M1's and the Leo's have far better accurancy at 2000m as well. The newer M1's actually have pin point accurancy out to 4000m due to the upgraded fire control system. Don't now much about the T-90 but heard it's a pretty good tank. It's still 80's electronic's except for the upgraded models.

  • The M1 Abrams tank was not used till the late 80's. In fact M60 A3's were used alot in the 1991 gulf war. There have been several up grade in the 90's M1A1 M1A2 and the M1A2 SEP. Majority of the M1's have remained the same. Upgrades have included computer systems and fire control systems that have went on through out the 90's. The Leopard 2 and the M1A1 and A2 share the exact same main gun the 120mm smooth bore. Both are great tank. The T-72's are crap.

  • @CapnJ1mmy

    Hey man get your facts straight.

    The Leopard 2 was first introduced in 1979. 42 years old.

    The Abrams was first introduced in 1980. 41 years old.

    The T-90 was first introduced in 1995. 16 years old.

    Of course there have been upgrades. The most modern Leopard in service is the Leopard 2A6 (2007). The most modern Abrams in service is the M1A2 SEP (2004) and the T-90 used in service is still the same one as used in 1995.

  • @ResiusOnline

    You could say that T-90 is just T-72 with better electronics and armor. Not exactly a new construction.

  • @ResiusOnline

    Hmm its the year 2020!!!! OMFG, have i been sleeping that long!!! NO!!!

  • @gosciu555

    Sorry I got the first 2 wrong.

    My point still stands though.

  • @ResiusOnline

    Its a joke and no it doesn't because T-90 is basically a T-72Bx. Its still good though, so no prob.

  • @CapnJ1mmy it aint the newest Lol leopard 2 owns

  • @PATRONSKiii Plus, MODERN foriegn variants of the M60 can preform well in today's battlefield. Jordanian Phoenix Tanks, and Israeli Magach tanks have proven their worth. I've heard that Monkey model excuse too many times. The Iraqis also had a considerable # of T72M's built in Russia. And I do not think the M60A3TTIS could preform well against modern armor. Only against the armor of it's time. The M60 is a very old tank, and only the foreign upgraded variants have a chance at survival.

  • @PATRONSKiii First off, I'm not biased. If at all, you're biased for claiming Russian tanks are superior, as long as Russians build and operate them. You're making pretty hilarious claims here, including the M60 can't penetrate a T72 at point blank. ERA can only protect against shaped ammo. I'll also mention the M60 had ERA and plenty of added armor by the end of her life in the US. The T55 is also a dead tank. Weighing down a tank with ERA isn't going to save it from a double tandem round shot.

  • m60 the greatest tank

  • wish the americans made this tank for WW2 not vietnam

  • the tank of a hundred ww2 movies. Dressed up as everything from panzers to shermans.

  • @skaaltel "The Battle of the Bulge."

  • @skaaltel Sombody has watched Patton a few times

  • Most of the M60's are in surplus or reserve just incase americas in WWIII and cant produce enough new tanks.

  • long descendant of M26 pershing, fortunately for west, cold war never became hot, because with this tank, they would have lost the ground battle. T64/72/80 variants were far superior, the M60A1 'd have kicked T55/62 thanks to its better fire control, but not the others. And M60 armor have never been suficient, to stop even a T55 round. (180mm thinkness, approx 300mm RHA equivalent protection)

    M60a3 is a nice tank, but to weakly armoured for tank battles, beautiful tank thought ;)

  • @PATRONSKiii You've got to be joking about the T64. That is by far one of the worst tanks ever made. I'm not trying to offend, but most statistics show the M60 is an even tank against the T72, even slightly better. And show me a situation where an M60 has been knocked out by a T55. That's complete BS.

  • @ModelbuildingTANKS Jesus..... One more..... No unfortunately, you are biased. like all americans, you despise russian technology, to protect against it, and because you know you will never test it, only way is by arabs using rusty shit from 1960's with WW1 tactics. No, the M60 is not even comparable to T64/72/80 tanks. It was made to counter T55 and T62 for good, of course he's better than them. But with a good crew, T62 or modernised T55AM can win on M60a1/a3.

  • @ModelbuildingTANKS Just : the basic T72M export than encoutered the M60 users, is by far better than the M60 : Twice armour, 15 tonnes less, more mobility, better gun, better reliability. The only T72 lost by M60 were in iraq, and they were not in number, only slightly in kuwait (there were the M60 US and ally arab saw combat), and the most common tank was chinese type 69 so.... In 1982 lebanon war, the T72 lost were by heavy TOW ambush, noone was lost to tank fire. Stop myth and bullshit ...

  • @ModelbuildingTANKS Now, the real russian tanks , T72A, AV, B, BV, and older T64B,BV crewed by russian men and tactics, with proper modern ammunitions... Cmon ! M60 has not a chance against them, anyway the M60 gun cannot penetrate front armour of these tanks, but maybe at point blank... Against K5 era protected tank T72BA, T80U, T90, LOL your M60 will be dead before he can see them. Still, M60 is a fairly good tank, i like it, but it's good for war without modern tanks.

  • The T-51's kicked the shit out of those tanks

  • @SMGJohn uumm in what battle?

  • @flight2k5 In World War One

  • @SMGJohn you're not serious right?

  • @flight2k5 Of course that was a little thing called "sarcasm"

  • I think the Bradley is the latest, but the Abrams still kicks butt.

  • That's one of Egypts mainstream tank, they have 1,700 of them + 1000 M1A2 Abrams and 1000 other Older tanks. including the Egyptian built Ramses 2 Tank. US is also selling the unit design of the M60A3 Patton tank to Egypt in March 2010 for exchange for Intelligence reports on Iran.

  • @intellegence63smart The filming wasn't in Egypt but it's the same type of tank Egypt has in huge numbers.

  • 2/70th Armor, 24th Infantry Div

    I commanded a platoon of M60A1s in 1968. Cold in the winter, and hot in the summer, but loved firing those guns!

  • i fuckin love the m60.... its got the thickest armor ever put on a us armored vehicle

  • @TheGatman101 Wrong the M1A1 and the M1A2 Abrams are the most advanced built and Armored Main Battle tanks there are and ever have been. Its almost impossible to take out a Abrams. I have been in combat with quite a few of them and have seen what they can do and what they can withstand. One RPG round to the side of that tank and its opened up,

  • @TheGatman101 no, it has pretty weak armor and has a high silhouette.

  • name of the music ?

  • it's from the movire "Pirates of the caribbean"

  • that is one sturdy tank i think they should still use it aside with the abrams....m60 is just as good and the military can save money just taking them out of storage and use them so they dont get destroyed for target practice

  • Those Russian T-72s & T-80s look like real bad boys too.

  • well i think the top of my tank list is

    1. m1a1 abrams

    2. german leopard tanks 8with winter camo)

    3 i dont know yet : / wondering if this will fill it :D

  • A kingdome for a javelin.......heheh

  • she would burn if javlien took on her

  • fast fucking rounds anyone know the distance the first two shot at.

  • tranqueira! Osório comanda!

  • that last tank kinda looks like the Centaur from Gear of War

  • hell no centur little shitmister next to this this baby got 105 gun makes ehr golden boy

  • canada should buy a couple hundred of these tanks and equip our militia with them

  • bought somthin else think leapard 2 or 1 german 120 gun better less proflie then ythe m60

  • Q DIABLOS Q BUENOS TIROS

  • ooops i mean k-2 tank srry

  • Best music for this video. Congratulations!

  • Gulf War-1, Marine tankers all had this tank, the Marine reservists were the only ones to have the Army surplus of Abrams, this monster looked like a real tank and it kicked lots of raghead ass.

  • I believe that tank's worthiness can just about only be truly figured out (damn a lot of small words...pardon my english :P) in real warfare.

    Of course the argument about which is best is kinda fun (unless somebody decides to be really immature, we're all immature deep inside ;)) but still.

    For example, just before WW2 I gather that the tank that was considered to be amongst the best was a French tank. But the way the Germans used their tanks the French tank got beaten.

    The M60's cool btw. :)

  • Thank you for the video.

    The M60 was the best tank in the world in its time in the 70s.

    I lived in one for two years in Germany.

  • leopard 2 is the best tank ;)

  • have jou seen korean k-1 tank jou guys gotta see that tank

  • @rcl567 fuck that!

  • @TheUSALLDAY truth hurt, doesnt it?

  • @kreliann M1A2 Abrams may not have the best firepower, but has the best armor. dont you agree?

  • @hamoan66boi It still has probably the best firing system, and not many armor systems can survive a hit from a Sabot round fired from it. The M1a2 Abrams is a beast.

  • @rcl567 Leopard 2 is unproven in Battle, where as the Challenger 2 is battle proven and sustained 47 RPG hits (RPG 7,RPG 29 and a MILAN), the result: Driver lost a couple of toes (which took him out of action for a few weeks but then he was back on the front line not long after) and the tank was back in action the next day! Challenger 2 is the best tank in the world.And a proven one at that!

  • @Saxonsoldiers: Don't hear at such kid's who haven't other things to do, than type "Leopard 2 is the best" in every Video. The M1 Abrams & Challenger 2 are very well Tanks, which are proven. Leo 2 isn't. Also it lost against the T-90 in India, so it can't be "THE BEST"

    /watch?v=FE23GDHpE24

  • m1 abrams is the best tank in the world

  • bem nao se deixem enganar pelos mil era so para enganar este toto

  • its a fuckin cheapo. the only reason it has a small motor is because its cheap to.

  • no is not its very expensive my friend could be small but its very good its like driving a volvo abrams is very good tank to man but its very big and not so fast thats why we dont like

  • ah the greman leopard the poor mans tanks. all people talk about is the leapard 2 with its small diesel engine and its fake armor.i'd like to see one with a liittle mud on it.

  • for what i have read you dont know anithing about leopard 2a6 first its not a fake armor its a good one and it could be small but is realy fast and you can change the motor in 15 min in battle condicions i read the abrams guives the 60kh leo guives 70kh the only thing he cant resist its the missil wich t90 carry just that and my friend the tank its not cheap just for that we only buy 1000 tanks

  • thank god we got the abrams with british armor cuz a t72 would eat this nam relic

  • You cant be serious. When the M3 sevrved alongside the A1's, we lost more of the Abrams than the A3's!

    Dont be hating against the best tank of all time.

  • dont worry we will have the leopard 2 a 6 try eat this one

  • Israel is the biggest user of the M60, they have a version called Magach 7, which is so upgraded it is probably good enough to take out a modern tank.

  • a Rare Hybrid of this tank Might be on the market still for nations to buy M60/2000 hybrid of M1A1/M60 its nice even almost M1A2 standerds

  • Pretty much everyone who has crewed both the M-60A3 and the M1 knows that the Passive sight on the M-60 was a lot better than the thermal sight in the first M1s. The next generation Thermals in the M1A1 helped close that gap.

  • I believe the upgraded M1IP (improved armor over original M1) had the same thermal imagine system as the M1A1.

  • The M60a3 has been top dog in South America up until very recently. Offensively it is still a good tank and has good night fighting ability, its thermals are even better than most M1s.

  • and jou can upgrade its main weapon in to 110 mm cannon(or someting like that)

  • hey the patton tank is still used today ,right?

  • They were used by the U.S. in limited numbers through the early 90s'. There are still some counties that use them though.

  • thnxs for the for info, better than his!

    >:/

  • @tucker1012 Still some of countries are using this tank.

  • @tucker1012 m1a2 baby

  • @tucker1012

    When the US Army took all of the M-60's out of service they were made available to pretty much any country that wanted them. I do believe Brazil has a sizeable number of M60's, as does Turkey, Israel, and some other countries.

  • @tucker1012

    no... it hasnt been used for decades. the states use the abrams series now.

  • HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!

  • oh man almost saw the cad cage armoured car at the end with a turret. Looks like m1117 asv.

  • mas vai passar a não ser sucata quando vierem os pandur II 8x8 e os leopard 2-A6

  • still a very good tank!

  • santa guida e a sua sucata....

  • ty tho

  • ahhhh lolok cool it is simmilar tho to a song they use allways in war mooves
