Additional Information

During the "Yom Kippur War" the Egyptians managed to destroy many Israeli Patton tanks. In addition, the Fourth Arab-Israeli war was the first major armed conflict in which guided anti-tank missiles were widely used. As a result, Israel launched a series of modifications aimed at improving the combat capability and survivability of its combat vehicles. Israel, which has often been at war almost since its founding in 1947, has optimized and improved all available armoured vehicles, with no exceptions to the M48 and M60. In the case of the American M60 (designated Magach 6) modification was updated "M60 RISE" becoming Magach 6B. After going through a series of improvements, the Magach 6B was brought to the configuration of the Magach 7 with better passive protection. Magach-7C with optimized armor protection was the latest modification for the Israeli army. Even more improved version of the "Sabra," based on the Magach 7C is a program for the improvement of the M60 Patton was developed by Israel for the Turkish army.
