Taiwan has announced plans to upgrade the US-made M60A3 main battle tanks (MBTs) in service with the Republic of China Army (RoCA).
According to a contract award announced by Taiwan's tendering service, the state-owned National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) will upgrade the “shooting, gun control, and sighting system” of the RoCA's M60A3 MBTs. It said NCSIST bid TWD444 million (USD15.56 million) for the upgrade programme.
The RoCA has an estimated initial requirement for 40 upgraded M60A3s. The service may enhance its remaining M60A3 MBTs later. The RoCA operates more than 300 M60A3s.
