Protective Tank Armor is Arguably More Important than Killing Power*Sebastien Roblin* *M60 Tank, Americas* Just how far can you soup up a tank from the 1960s? *Here's what you need to remember: *The Patton may reliably soldier on and contribute its heavy firepower to the battlefield—but in an era where minimizing casualties and denying propaganda victories to the other side is important, its dated armor protection will remain a liability. The M60 Patton was the mainstay of the U.S tank fleet in the 1960s and 1970s, before being replaced by the M1 Abrams tank currently in service. However, more than five thousand Pattons remain in service in the ... read more
