Arsenal: M60 Patton in Desert Storm, 1991
Arsenal: M60 Patton in Desert Storm, 1991 follows Marine tank crews as they drive their upgraded Patton tanks through Iraqi minefields, trenches, and dug-in armor on the road to Kuwait City during the Gulf War. Listeners hear the M60 in action under fire, the Cold War problem it was built to solve, how its design and crew stations evolved from earlier Pattons, and how those choices shaped its performance in the desert. The episode traces the tank’s strengths, weaknesses, and variants, and closes with the M60’s legacy in later doctrine, exports, and museum displays. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
