M60A3 Patton tank gets 21st Century upgrades

[mojaveman]

Raytheon is pitching a new upgrade for the venerable M60A3 Patton main battle tank that would turn the elderly design into a competitive force on the modern battlefield - all at a fraction of the cost of a new tank.

Any former tankers here? Thought the idea of all of the new technological upgrades in such an old design was kind of interesting.
