Hey /k/
Just found out that my country still uses the old M60(but they are being fast replaced by the leo2)
Is the M60 still a capable/useful MBT by today standarts?

I might just have old info on the ammunition it uses, but I'm pretty sure the APFSDS used by the M60 Patton had difficulty penetrating the frontal armor of a T-64.

>Is it still useful?
That depends entirely upon how much it's been upgraded, and what it's expected to go up against.
M60 Jesus

The only thing we have that are like and MBT are these light amoured Vehicles that we make called chaimites(pic related)and there were also the amoured vehicles with a 90mm cannon on them but i cant remember what they were called

The chaimite has been replaced with the Pandur II.

You may have the latest and greatest tank that fights by itself. You're still gonna lose everything cause you're narcisstic pieces of shit who can't even read a map. Just like poles.
Presumably your country only has tanks because America had leftovers and NATO could use a few more tanks to throw into the meat grinder if Ivan ever started pouring through the Fulda Gap.
But yeah, Leopards would be better for that.

Hey, the Polacks were solid. Were great at giving few fucks.

Because its sad to see a sutch an icon of our armed forces, that served lots of men very well during the colonial war , get scraped and replace by foreign equipment
The chaimite was the last part of the portuguese armed forces that was 100% portuguese made
>>27940324
The colonial war ended 40 years ago. How we kept and keep such an amount of ancient equipment both amazes and disturbs me.
>>27940359
The chaimite was updated a few time since the war you do know that?
>>27940359
Plus why fix whats isnt broken
