The General Dynamics M60-2000 or 120S is an upgrade of the M60 Patton tank. The development of the M60-2000 was primarily due to thousands of M60 Main Battle Tanks in service with many nations unable to afford a sufficient force of more modern main battle tanks. General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) devised the M60-2000 upgrade, offering many features of the M1A1 Abrams to existing M60 users at a reduced cost.

  • The General Dynamics M60-2000 or 120S is an upgrade of the M60 Patton tank. The development of the M60-2000 was primarily due to thousands of M60 Main Battle Tanks in service with many nations unable to afford a sufficient force of more modern main battle tanks. General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) devised the M60-2000 upgrade, offering many features of the M1A1 Abrams to existing M60 users at a reduced cost. The M60-2000 was a GDLS supplied conversion kit, including the gun turret and 120 mm (4.72 in) smoothbore gun of the M1A1/M1A2, to the M60. The upgrade was marketed at those M60 users with the industrial capability to convert the tanks themselves. Along with a new turret, a new diesel powerpack and the transmission system of the M1 were installed on the M60-2000, and has been tested in a standard M60 chassis. The first potential customer is Turkey. Gneral Dynamics Land Systems has offered to build a prototype of its proposed M60-2000 upgrade of the M60A3 main battle tank to be evaluated by Egypt. The Egyptian Army was considering this offer till it was finally refused and replaced by a national upgrade.
