    I like to point out the Soviets overreacted a bit when seeing the M60A1 in Europe. The M60 with its 105mm can penetrate the T-55 at 1800m but with the BR-412D could just about penetrate the M60 at about 1500m. Slightly shorter but the difference should be minimal in practice. And in 1967 with HVAPDS, the T-55 would be able to kill M60s at ranges of 2km reliably. So the T-55 would be a match for the M60 at least as far as stand off ranges are concerned. The T-62 with its 115mm APFSDS would outmatch all but the Chieftain. This is ofc ignoring soft factors but given the sheer numbers of T-55s and T-62s, let alone shortly after the T-64, NATO was far far behind.

      @milorads98 I think the story is that upon hearing that NATO would have a bigger gun then "his" new 100 mm gun, he demanded a 115 mm gun. When the guys briefing him protested he is said to have answered " I don't care if you have to strap it to a pig, but get me that gun" or something to that effect. That is from memory and maybe he said it a bit differently.

      Apparently the Russians designed a new 3BM-21M round, which uses the tungsten alloy rod from the 3BM-60 svinets-2 inside a 115mm projectile. But it's unknown if it actually entered production
