It became the standard main battle tank for the US Army in the s, but was replaced by the M1 Abrams 20 years later. Raytheon completed fielding the new fire control systems to the country about five years ago, according to Probert. Now Raytheon has created a package of modernization-level upgrades for the tanks that goes far beyond the initial upgrade for Jordan, Probert said.
The company's service life extension program for the M60 A3 variant increases lethality ranges and accuracy through an advanced digital fire control system using US Army-developed software and by swapping out the tank's mm cannon with a mm gun.

Raytheon has also changed out a horsepower engine to a horsepower one, which restarts the engine to zero-hour condition, Probert said. Through the new upgrades the tank will also be able to fire on the move rather than having to use a soldier in the loop to stop the tank, aim the gun and fire, which turns the tank into an easy target on the battlefield.

These differed mainly in their fitting of weaponry for evaluation purposes and rarely made it into serial production. Foreign operators also were free to apply their own designations as needed.

Other than that, no combat M60 tanks were deployed to the region and used in the war effort. It was not until the Israeli Yom Kippur War of that the tank actually saw combat service and this was in the hands of the Israelis during the "Yom Kippur War". The Israeli Army made use of both M60 and M60A1 production marks in the conflict in addition to their stable of M48 Pattons already in service.
ERAs served as additional point protection from incoming enemy projectiles, missiles and rocket grenades and extensively upgraded crew survivability. The Israelis designated their upgraded M48s and M60s as "Magach" with Magach 1, 2, 3 and 5 marks covering different variants of the M48 and Magach 6 and 7 marking the upgraded M60 tanks. By all accounts, the M60 performed admirably well in Israeli hands, even when facing off against the T - the tank it was originally designed to counter all those years prior.
