M728 combat engineer vehicle
The M728 combat engineer vehicle is a military engineering vehicle based on an M60A1 Patton main battle tank chassis with a hydraulically operated dozer blade mounted on the front, thus effectively functioning as an armored bulldozer, plus an A-frame crane boom hinged on either side of the turret and a winch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Development and History of the M-60 tank: M728 CEV )〕
==Design==
Based on the chassis of the M60 Patton tank, the armament was changed from using the 105mm M68 rifled tank gun used on the standard M60/A1/A3, to a 165mm M135 short-barrelled demolition gun with 30 rounds of HEP (high explosive, plastic) ammunition. The M135 is a license-built copy of the 165 mm L9A1 gun that was used on the British Army's FV4003 Centurion Mk.5 AVRE (armoured vehicle Royal Engineers) tank. Depending on the usage, the gun can be depressed and elevated against targets up to an effective range of .〔 The gun's primary purpose is for clearing defensive fixtures and obstacles, such as walls, fences, roadblocks and bunkers, or for destroying buildings and is generally not meant to be for use in anti-personnel or anti-tank warfare.
The main gun has a coaxial 7.62×51mm NATO M240 machine gun, with 2,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. In addition, a .50 caliber M85 machine gun is mounted in the commander's cupola; this has 600 rounds of ammunition.
As an alternative to the mounted dozerblade, the vehicle can be equipped with a mine clearing rake for clearing land mines. In total, 291 M728 CEVs were produced.〔
