Thats most likely a Magach 6 which is the Isralia version of the M60. It is a steel hull tank so its basic armor would not be that hard to figure out but the affect of the reactive armor would be a bit complicated to turn into an armor value. It would work more like a saving throw against all incomeing rounds. The King Tiger had a max armor thickness of 180mm of cold rolled steel the M60 shows a max armor thickness of 150mm If I had to guess I would say that the M60 hull would get an armor rateing of 14.

It's an M60 chasis with an M1 style turrent, smoke dischargers, and passive armour array which I believe would make it a Magach 7c.
The Kid I'll rate Fearless Conscript | ROF 1 | AT 1 | FP 6+ ; Equipment Notes: Little Rock Throwing nuts.
Little Rock Throwing nuts If a unit is equiped with this ability attacks an armor rated vehicle and passes it's Fire Power check it must immediately make both a skill test and motivation test. If the unit passes both tests successfully it will hit the armor vehicle doing absolutely no damage. If the unit fails either or both tests the armor unit will conduct defensive fire at it's full rate of fire, even if armor vehicle has moved. If the armor vehicle does not kill the unit equiped with this ability the armor vehicle must make a motivation test to avoid being laughed at.

I did not call it "Little Rock Throwing nuts" but rather "Little Rock Throwing Sh1t". Hmm that guy who runs Command Decision or whatever, his kid should be equipped with this skill and sent immediately to the front where ever this photo was taken.

Well no one faults them for taking another country's "junk" and making it something no one thought would ever happen. The additional armor plates on the turrent obscure what can be seen but on the 6B series I thought the sides the turrent came almost out to a point while on the 7's they did away with that with a more M1 style turrent like GDLS did with the M60-2000 system.
Israel also is known for taking tanks, modernizing them, and then trying to fool the enemy into thinking it's an older tank that has "additional" armor added like seen in the picture. Lately however their biggest fight has been Hezbolah and the PLO who's total tank strength is estimated to be 0 even by the Israeli's Mussad and CIA both.
I say the Western Hemisphere Governments should release Israel's leash and let them knock Iran into another dark age. If they want to take Iraq and Afghanistan with Iran, thats fine, gives us a reason to push up the troop withdrawls.

Cephian,
I love the sense of humor displayed in your Arsenal for the Hesbolah Partisan! ha ha ha
You did, however, leave out the fact that the kid also has the Warrior attribute of "Obama: The Messiah".
This allows the Isreali tank to loose all fighting capabilities and just sit there. At this point, the kid and all his friends get to keep throwing rocks and/or any other improvised weapons available until the tank is destroyed.
If any other tanks in this platoon are within Command Distance, within Range, within LOS, and within Field of Fire, they must roll 3 consecutive Skill Tests to see if Policy allows for return fire.
If any Skill Test is failed, the entire Israeli platoon is removed from the table and counts as destroyed for purposes of Company Moral.
However, if any Israeli tank in the platoon meets said requirements and passes ALL 3 Skill Tests, the tank crew may destroy any and/or all Hezbelah kids that are valid targets. After combat has been resolved, the Israeli tank platoon is removed from the table and does not count as destroyed for Company Moral but, the platoon must answer to charges of War Crimes from The United Nations.
