The M60A1 with a new turret, thicker armour and a new ammunition stowage system was manufactured from 1962 to 1980.
The M60A2 had a new turret fitted with a 152mm gun and missile launcher. The vehicle had a limited production run and service life. The successful M60A3, which incorporated improvements to the gun fire control and entered service in 1978.
The M60A1 and A3 were exported to NATO and US friendly countries as either new vehicles or in later years as the US had a surplus stock of these tanks as it was replaced in US Army service by the superior M1 and M1A1 Abrams.
The Super M60 was a comprehensive update package for the M60 Patton series tanks, offered in the early 1980s for the export market to foreign users of M60 to increase the protection, firepower and mobility for the M60A1 and A3. Though this upgrade package offered M60 users an opportunity to dramatically increase the combat power of their tank fleets, no country ever bought the update, and the program effectively ceased by the end of the Cold War. Only one prototype was built.
