DESCRIPTION
By contemporary standards, the M60 is tall, makes an easy target and is no match for the latest Main Battle Tank designs.
However, the Israeli Defense Force has had to rely on the aging Patton and Centurion tanks for the bulk of its 4,000 unit MBT force. the IDF, after countless modifications, has made the Patton M60-A1 into a very effective fighting machine.
By far, the most impressive "IDF modification" has been the addition of "Blazer" reactive armor boxes to the turret and upper body armor.
Reactive armor explodes on contact, destroying or at least deflecting an incoming anti-tank round that might otherwise have penetrated and destroy the tank and its crew.
