How would Thailand's M60A3 do against the M1 abrams?

Question

also how about Thailand's Stingray Commando Tank vs the M1

Answer 1

A tank is just a machine.  What makes our armor the best in the world are the highly trained crews from Ft. Knox that operate them.  U.S. Soldiers and Marines are why we are the best, the equipment is important, but it is the crews.  WW2 is a great example.  The n**i's had the Tiger Series of Panzers, arguably the best in the world; however, U.S. Tankers in M-4's has kicked their hind-parts all over Europe. It is not the Tank; it is the Tread Head inside.

Answer 2

No chance, M1 is the supreme battle tank in the world.

Answer 3

Maybe scratch the paint.  

Answer 4

Does anyone else see a pattern with Haney K's questions?

What is your deal with Thailand?

The M1 would smoke M60A3

You sound like the US is going to invade Thailand for some odd reason.

Answer 5

poorly

Answer 6

As the M1, arguably the best main battle tank in the world, replaced the M60 in the American military, I would say that the M1 is vastly superior.

The Stingray Commando is an American built tank for the export market only; it is a cheap tank and would not last long against the M1.

Answer 7

Not very well. About the same as your average T55 and T62 did in the Gulf.

They are well out of date.

Answer 8

I will say that the M1 is a clear winner....you can't compare a M-47 derived tank (1940-1950 design) with one of the best tank of the world, the suprem M1 Abram.

If the crews are of equal talents, the M60 will be a nice torch...even if the '60 crew is slightly superior, the result will be the same.

Better armed, better protected, more agile, more speed, a less high design...the M1 is far better.

Answer 9

They should prove efficient as target practice.

Answer 10

poorly. they could at their best reach limited tactical sucess under some circumstances, but globally it is a combat of two different generations.

penguino> the german tank crews were much more proficient than their Allied counterparts. the SOLE reason german armored units were wiped out of the European battlefield was Allied air supremacy not the Sherman crews.
