    Short answer: No

     

    Slightly longer answer: There were a few different attempts to acquire M60s from the US but they never materialized. So the ROK was left to update their M48s with Korea not long after joining with the US to develop the K1. There's a bit more nuance to it all but that's the general gist.

     

    On the topic of ROK M60s though, there is this peculiar picture which is supposedly a ROKMC M60A1 (The word printed on the side translates to "Marine Corps"). The theory is, if it isn't an edited photo, the ROKMC loaned some M60A1s from the USFK and did some cross training on them.

    Did the t72 Rogatka upgrade get a new autoloader which could use amo such as bm60/59?

    Yes.

    Can use APFSDS with increased power with a core made of ultra-dense one-component and composite materials, increasing armor penetration by 30%

     

     

    Может использовать БПС повышенного могущества с сердечником из сверхплотных однокомпонентных и композиционных материалов, увеличивающих бронепробиваемость на 30%
