Hopefully some of the FR “tread heads” will post their opinions on what kind of threat is posed by the M-60A3,

I’m not a tread head, but I’m the son of one and have been paying attention for a long time.

Those M-60s would be so much scrap if the Israelis came to town.

Not sure why the M60 is much of a big deal, those are 1960s stuff.
Egypt has nearly 900 M1 Abrams in their fleet, 1980s stuff.

Ben, here is a treadhead ping. I'm sure it hasn't been updated in a long time. I'll be curious to see how many names aren't valid when I test post.

Shrew is a former tanker ... Got any comments on the M60A3?

The M60A3 is much more reliable than the M1 series. Who would take a turbine engine and stick it into a tank that makes a dust storm every where it goes? I worked on many military series of trucks, tanks, personnel carriers, etc., and the M1 is a maintenance nightmare. Paper manuals for that thing take up about 100 feet of shelf space.
