Three crew members occupy the M-60’s roomy turret, with the gunner on the right, the commander seated behind him, and the loader on the left side of the 105mm gun.1 The small commander's cupola mounts an M-85 .50 caliber machine gun with 900 rounds of ammunition. Fire control includes an M21 ballistic computer, AN/VVG-2 laser rangefinder, AN/VSG-2 thermal sights, and Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride (HgCdTe) IR detector for passive night and dust vision.2
