Thanks for the memories,the brass were blanks I think for the m-60 machine gun, the tanks are the m-60 series. retired army wheel and track mechanic,63c40.
There 5.56x45mm shell cassings left from the M4 Carbine . The M60 Machine Gun hasn't been in service for years it was replaced by the M240B . A GPMG would be hard to use for room clearing there useing those barrack's building's for MOUT Tranning - Military Operations In Urban Terrain.
This appears to be the training ground just outside Fort Dix, NJ, you can see the tank and chopper from the nearby highway during the winter months, they are obscured by the foliage the rest of the year, there are many ranges and areas like this in the Pinelands between Ft. Dix and Lakehurst NAS
Both tanks are M 60A3 Pattons, you can tell because of the thermal shroud on the main cannon. Gunner sits directly in front of the Tank Commander and the Tank Commander is the position that you look through on top of the tank looking through the TC’s sight extension in the Cupola. What installation was this filmed on? I live up in the north east, not too far away from Fort Devens, but I don’t believe it’s at Fort Devens
@@abandonedcentral you should know that your amazing videos can be watched by any people in the world, me for example from Ukraine and thanks for answer!)
M60-2000 / 120S Main Battle Tank .. not the same as the old M-60 is more updated Modern The General Dynamics 120S is an upgrade of the M60 tank. The 120 in the designation represents the 120mm smoothbore gun and the S stands for speed and survivability. The M60 part of the earlier M60-2000 designation is no longer considered relevant as so much of the MBT is new. The 120S is a unique product that integrates the M1A1 120-mm turret, equipped with a 240X4 Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR), onto a fully modernized M60 chassis. The survivability of the 120S is unmatched. The turret is protected with the latest armor, which was successfully demonstrated to the Turkish Main Battle Tank Committee. Additionally, the 120-mm ammunition is fully compartmentalized, providing optimum system survivability as demonstrated in the 1991 Gulf War. The 120S chassis includes an M1A1 suspension system, giving the tank greatly improved cross-country mobility and a stable base for fire-on-the-move accuracy similar to the Abrams tank. The new 120S is fully functional, ready to accept a powerpack of the customer's choice. To achieve mobility similar to an M1A2 Abrams tank, a 1200-horsepower AVDS-1790 engine is recommended. The upgraded AVDS-1790-9A 1200HP diesel is similar to that used on the M88A2 and Merkava vehicles. The engine is mated to M1 Allison X-1100-5 transmission and Abrams final drives. However, other propulsion options are also possible. The 120S offers a proven and affordable M60 upgrade solution to potential customers. The 120S makes existing M60 fleets relevant by increasing their capability to close to that of the M1A1 Abrams tank's performance, at half the price. Also of significance is the fact that the 120S upgrade components are in production with logistical and operational support readily available through the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. The 120S offers a pragmatic approach to potential customers. It's commonality with the Abrams tank family of vehicles easily offers future growth opportunities to evolve into a new main battle tank program. General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) developed the new version of the M60, the M60-2000, for export. The M60-2000 MBT has been marketed for several years and a number of countries in NATO and the Middle East were briefed on the vehicle. Following customer feedback, detailed engineering work was carried out and in December 2000 GDLS decided to build a functional prototype. The first potential customer is Turkey. General Dynamics Land Systems has offered to build a prototype of its proposed M60-2000 upgrade of the M60A3 main battle tank to be evaluated by Egypt. The Egyptian Army is considering this offer. On 27 September 2001, General Dynamics introduced its 120S Main Battle Tank during the opening ceremonies at IDEF 2001 in Ankara, Turkey. General Dynamics Land Systems rolled out a fully functional prototype of its 120S main battle tank (MBT) at its Detroit facility in early August 2001.General Dynamics engineering shop produced a first phase prototype vehicle. It had a M1A1 functional turret and suspension system with the M1 gear box, hydraulic pump and M1A1 slip ring. The hull has adapters fitted so the M1A1 rotary shock absorbers, torsions bars and T-158 track can be used. Hull sides had M1A1-like sponsons and ballistic side skirts.
That’s a M60 (AOS) :^ medium tank with a 105 cannon, as you saw the mini turret on top that is the commanders Coppola with a .50 call browning machine gun :^, but it wasn’t used in the Vietnam war, but M60 and 48 patton were used Vietnam war, the M60 patton was the pre-version to the M60 (AOS) as you saw in the video
Army don't have BASES! We have Forts! This is a training area for soldiers recreated to look like a fort, installation or city like to train soldiers in how to fight close combat quarters and in city like situations! The M60 Tanks and UH "Huey" was put there for make it look more real! I am SFC US ARMY RET. "Tanker" This Blank Cartridges on the front slope of the Tank are for M16 rifles and are M200 5.56 mm Blanks. This training area may be Occupied at any time dont be surprise if one day you find a training in effect. The building at 6:12 looks with new wood... like it was raised not to long ago. The Blanks on 6:39 are UTM Blanks it looks like 7.62 mm are the most update version as real bullet sound in training! the unit that train in here must be high caliber Units like SF, Rangers etc. This blanks are not cheap! First seat is the Tank Commander and in front of him should another seat for the gunner. then on front of the tank that is the driver seat. The number on top of the Turret at 9:00 the # 10905434 is the assembly ID or cast #..... the serial number 1036 out 15,000 is the manufacture production number of that turret. the letter "C" During the development of the M60A2, three different turret types were considered, the Type A, Type B and Type C. The Type A turret would be constructed based on the T95E7 turret and then further modified and produced as the Type B standard. The Type C turret was essentially a larger M551 Sheridan-style turret.
@@abandonedcentral Good luck my friend.. good interesting Video.. you Brought me flashbacks..lol! Come to Ft Knox, KY we have General Patton Museum has many tanks you can take photos of it. M-60 has been striped almost 75% of all firing electronics controls modules and sights from inside the turret..
How many stories do each of these pieces of history hold ? This reminds me of the Staten Island landfill in NYC where 911 fire trucks and other emergency vehicles rest .
Thanks for your feedback. Check out some of our other videos when you have the time. We also post more photos on the blog from each explore which is on our website www.abandonedcentral.com
I saw s couple of tanks at a show in our local park a few yrs ago, chieftains I think, jus'hearin them fired up was enough to put the fear of God into folk!
That equipment isn't abandoned, it's sitting there for training purposes like movie props. They catch you you'll regret it. That area is used to train for urban warfare fighting. You totally should never do this again, there are UXO's all over that area. UXO is unexploded ordnance, never pick up anything. I traveled to Vietnam in 1997 after moving back to Germany from Bosnia. I found a rock quarry in Vietnam that the U.S. Army made during the war. Chinook helicopters, tanks, still sitting exactly where they were left at the wars end. I made video and took a lot of pics. I did enjoy your video, but stay off military bases before you wind up in federal prison or killed.
I agree it isn't best to enter an active base, but these are not on secured grounds like the rest of the base. They are on the outside property and you can view them by just driving down the road. Towards the end of the video, some Army soldiers drove up and we asked them for permission. They said it was perfectly fine for us to photograph the tanks and helicopter.
Hope you guys enjoyed the new video! We have more on the way!

Very cool to see the inside of an old tank. My Grandfather was in the ARMY. He served in WWII. He earned a Silver Star.
Now that is respectable! Super awesome! Thank you for sharing!

As an active duty individual. I can confirm those are blanks.
In case you didn’t know both the tanks and helicopter are Vietnam war era war machines
Nice job! Thank you! It is very interesting!
Glad you liked it!
@@abandonedcentral you should know that your amazing videos can be watched by any people in the world, me for example from Ukraine and thanks for answer!)
You guys take the best pictures. Loved all of them and the video.
Thanks we really appreciate that!
Those are barrack's building's there useing for MOUT- Military Operations In Urban Terrain- Tranning.
amazing content my friend its awesome
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Very beautiful artwork !
Thanks Paul!
Great Video and Photos.
Thanks!
UH1- Huey Iroquois 2 M60 Patton's, 5.56x45 & 7.62x51 shell casings there blank's.
Awesome find guys. Love the style. Killed it.
Thanks for your feedback Joey!
@@abandonedcentral where is this located?
its pretty dope. Awesome video!
the high seat is commanders,just below the machine gun turret, gunner sits right in front of him, loader is to the left of the gun
Thanks man i appreciate the comment!
Awesome playground I would love to visit and touch these birds myself , great vid
Thank you we appreciate the feedback!
Where was this?
Your videos are awesome!!!
I wonder if the tanks are for sale would love to have one for a museum
Im not exactly sure but i am surprised they aren't in a museum already.
The label looks like Anniston Army Depot in Ala. Aug. 1982. It's an M-60.
Thanks for watching!
I was JUST about to say this reminded me of my training after 2000 at Fort Mcclellan... Ha!
General Dynamics still makes the M-60 Patton in a 21st century platform as well as offers upgrade packages for the older models.

A dumb move to get on an active ARMY base. For several reasons, legal/personal injury etc...
You got lucky on this one.
How many stories do each of these pieces of history hold ? This reminds me of the Staten Island landfill in NYC where 911 fire trucks and other emergency vehicles rest .
both of the tanks are M-60A3's (RISE)
Tanks for that info 🙃
I enjoy the pictures more than the videos, I wish you'd have included more pix
Thanks for your feedback. Check out some of our other videos when you have the time. We also post more photos on the blog from each explore which is on our website www.abandonedcentral.com
the genade power is for smoke grenades to obscure the tank from enemy units.
Thank you very much, I did't know that.
What base is this
fort Knox probably
My uncle is stationed at Fort Knox. I could probably ask him if any of this looks familiar.
@@evanazbell let me know if you find out
Looks like the back side of Fort Polk LA.
awesome
Thanks!
Sad to see these works of art in these condition
They had other abandoned tanks on the property that they used for target practice. Im not sure why they aren't doing the same with these.
I saw s couple of tanks at a show in our local park a few yrs ago, chieftains I think, jus'hearin them fired up was enough to put the fear of God into folk!

man ive been looking for an abandoned tank to get inside since i was little. and yet all these videos dont tell you where it is.. FFS
Could be Benning
looks like m60 tank
Fort Mcclellan? Hahaha
m41a3 walker bulldog or m46 patton
M60A1 Tank
M48 patton
Tip toeing is not gonna help u hun if you tippy on one lol
Why do these 'explorers ' always say "army tanks"? Who the f**k else has tanks ??? A minor annoyance but annoying none the less
USMC has tanks also...
