A pair of tanks that were based on tanks used by Israel.
The M60 was an American tank which was very tall. The modifications included removing the commanders copula to reduce the height a bit, and reactive armor. Also a machine gun was added for the loader and an additional .50 caliber a machine gun on top of the main gun. I think that was mostly for target practice to save on main gun ammunition. Don't think they used the snorkel seen at the rear of the tank for fording rivers often. But it was included with the model.
The T55 was a Soviet tank captured by the Israelis. Again a few machine guns were added along with a mortar near the loader's hatch. It was a very small tank. Perhaps a bit too small as it was cramped for the crew.
