During the 1970s the Israel Defence Forces started to take deliveries of M60 Patton tanks from the US, and with the outbreak of the 1973 war the Israelis also received M60 tanks direct from US Army stocks as replacements. Initially, they were modified to Israeli specification with the addition of an M2 .50 cal machine-gun mounted over the gun mantlet and the addition of a 7.62mm machine-gun each for the loader and commanders hatches.
Some battalions still operate the American M60 Patton, or Magach 6 as the IDF calls them. These have undergone a number of upgrades and modifications during their service with the IDF, including the Urdan low profile cupola and Blazer ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour).
Magach (Hebrew for battering-ram) is the designation of a series of American supplied tanks in Israeli service since the 1960s. The Magachs are either M48 or M60 tanks. Magach 1, 2, 3, and 5 are based on M48 series of tanks, and Magach 6 and 7 are based on M60 series tanks. By the 1980s most of the M48 Magachs have been retired from frontline service, leaving the M60 Magach 6 as the primary American tank still in service with the IDF.
The units using the Magach 6 are Reservists, but have served previously during their compulsory military service periods, making them if anything, more experienced, older, and wiser than the young men in the newer tanks.
