The Sabra Mk.1 (Hebrew סברה, "Prickly Pear") is a significant modernization of the American M60 Patton tank. It was developed by the Israeli company Israel Military Industries (IMI) in the late 1990s. Initially, the project was a further development of the Magach 7C and involved significantly increasing combat performance by installing a new 120 mm smoothbore MG253 gun, improved appliqué armor, and the new Knight fire control system from Elbit Systems. The Sabra Mk.1 was offered as an affordable solution for upgrading M60 tanks. In 2002, Turkey selected the upgraded Sabra Mk. II for its modernization program and signed a $688 million contract. The first tanks were delivered for Turkish trials in 2005 and accepted into service in 2006. Between 2007 and April 2009, the Turkish 2nd Main Maintenance Center upgraded 170 tanks using kits supplied by IMI. In the Turkish Army, these tanks were designated M60T.

The Sabra Mk.1 was introduced in Update 2.41 "Firebirds". At first glance, the tank resembles the previously introduced Magach 7C, except for the gun. The Sabra Mk.1 is equipped with a more powerful 120 mm gun closely related to the armament of top-tier Merkava tanks. However, it should be noted that the Sabra's armor is only effective against certain ATGMs and HEAT rounds. Additionally, the vehicle's mobility is not exceptional compared to most main battle tanks encountered in combat.
