@ Khalid: For what it's worth, Khalid, I believe you about your military service...:D

Hobbbit:"I just found out that the M60A3's cannot though only 105 mm and rifled, it still outranges the T 72s 125 mm by about a KM. Quite impressive.
Also, I guess I didnt take into account the FCS (Fire control) and other systems within the M60A3.. and further upgrades by the Israelis might have boosted its capability."

Actually, the Israeli's have 'upgraded' the M-60 to the point that it no longer resembles an M-60... It's called the 'Sabra' & it is one hell of a tank...

It's armor is almost as good as the Merkava & it has the same 120mm gun that the Merkava does... And, it far outclasses the M-60A3 let alone the T-72 & other, less sophisticated, Russian-Made tanks.
