Missteps and Mishaps | Yugoslav M-60 APC
During the late 1950’s, the Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija (JNA Yugoslavian People’s Army) became wary of the fact that its inventory lacked an armored personnel carrier (APC) able to effectively transport supporting infantry for armored formations. In 1956, one such project was initiated, leading to the creation of the first Yugoslavian APC, designated the M-60. Its development was a significant step for the JNA, as it marked the first time the country had its own indigenous APC. However, the vehicle faced numerous problems during its development and testing phases, which led to a design that was ultimately unsatisfactory.

I'm not sure why people are surprised when APCs fare poorly against anti-tank weapons. They are made to defeat much heavier armor systems. It seems silly to even mention it. Yet here we are.

@@krellio9006 Not many new IFV/APCs can take a tank main gun sabot round or ATGM or AT mine on the chin either. The Nammer maybe? But it is in sort of a class of it's own and is way less mobile than lighter systems. Sort of a tailor-made heavy APC special doctrine dealie for the IDF.

You know, that's what happens when an anti-TANK weapon is used against a lighter vehicle. It sounds silly to point out how an APC from the 60's is vulnerable to them.

To be honest ,we never had a problem with it. I served for 3 years in it and it never broke down with trained driver. It is good and reliable machine ,somewhat outdated at that time ,but we can say that for all machines entering combat nowadays.

These internet "military analysts" always come with come arbitrary reliability issue to put down a vehicle they don't have enough information.
Ok, the *PZ. III MOCK TURRET* is one of the coolest things ive seen on the internet! That green color is nothing like ive seen depicted!
These APC’s were actually pretty good. They were used extensively in the wars in the 90’s. And did great for recovery vehicles or infantry support
So it was good for movie props. Kelly's Heroes was filmed in Yugoslavia and T 34 tanks were modified by Yugoslavian's to look like Tiger tanks.

From what I've heard, this vehicle did have reliability issues, but it wasn't that bad if you had well trained drivers. Trouble was, there weren't many of these, as the training system for the drivers in JNA was quite strange...Up to the '70s there was general "tracked vehicle driver" course (my late grandfather completed it) and one was often transfered between vehicles, so not much experience could be achieved on a single vehicle type.
This vehicle's written article was very helpful as I was doing research for a project of mine. Keep up the great work!

In serviceman jargon it had the loving nickname of "trashcan" and "peglica". The latter comparing it to the anemic fiat 126 of questionable build quality. Or maybe it's because it looked like a "peglica" which is a steam iron. Probably a little bit of both 😅

Since it was put into production before most of its problems were solved it’s understandable that it had problems. I wonder why the power train of a previously successful tank wasn’t used while lengthening the body to carry more troops? Didn’t Yugoslavia have too much surplus equipment by war’s end?
The real problems are when officers try to employ APCs as tanks.
The early German panzer offensives wre largely supported by moterized infantry and the mechaized infantry were always the minority in Panzer units.

If APC's had the armour protection of MBT's, then the enemy is just gonna use bigger weapons to tackle them, nothing is invincible in the field, I think Yugoslavian military overestimated, sort of like the US army did with the Bradley.
Well this M60 seems to beat the Italian tanks of the WWII. The Yugoslav constructors should have tried to make a single engine prop fighter to function as the B29 bomber.
H ausgezeichnet!
Baby panzer 3 is best panzer 3
I mean, for the average JNA infantryman possibly thrown into WW3, or for anyone from any side of the Yugoslav Wars, I guess it was better to be inside this thing than being shot at in an open field 😅

Well for the smaller countries maybe that could have worked, but for literally anybody else, not spending that money meant they would have missed out on decades of development and research and would be hopelessly out of date today. And in the case of America specifically, spending as much money as we did was a major contributor to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Remember that even Switzerland sees the need for a standing army.
