M60 - 2000 Main Battle Tank The General Dynamics M60 - 2000 or 120S is an upgrade of the M60 Patton tank . The development of the M60 - 2000 was primarily due to thousands of M60 Main Battle Tank s in service with many nations unable to afford a sufficient force of more modern main battle tanks . General Dynamics Land Systems ( GDLS ) devised the M60 - 2000 upgrade , offering many features of the M1A1 Abrams to existing M60 users at a reduced cost . The M60 - 2000 was a GDLS supplied conversion kit , including the gun turret and 120 mm ( 4 . 72 in ) smoothbore gun of the M1A1 / M1A2 , to the M60 . The upgrade was marketed at those M60 users with the industrial capability to convert the tanks themselves . Along with a new turret , a new diesel powerpack and the transmission system of the M1 were installed on the M60 - 2000 , and has been tested in a standard M60 chassis . The first potential customer is Turkey . Gneral Dynamics Land Systems has offered to build a prototype of its proposed M60 - 2000 upgrade of the M60A3 main battle tank to be evaluated by Egypt . The Egyptian Army was considering this offer till it was finally refused and replaced by a national upgrade .
