The Urdan cupola did not allow the commander to fire his machine gun from inside the tank, but gave him more protection from enemy tank shells. The Urdan cupola was equipped with an M60D machine gun, replacing the previous .50 M2 Browning machine gun.

The Israeli military had received M48 Patton tanks, and replaced the M1 cupola with an Urdan cupola, which featured a low profile. The Urdan cupola did not allow the commander to fire his machine gun from inside the tank, but gave him more protection from enemy tank shells. The Urdan cupola was equipped with an M60D machine gun, replacing the previous .50 M2 Browning machine gun. Additionally, a second M60D machine gun was fitted to the turret roof, near the loader's cupola, allowing the loader to fire a machine gun. The ammunition stowage was modified, and the tank could carry 54 rounds of 105 mm ammunition. These tanks were called M48A5API, but as earlier M48A5 tanks were upgraded to the API standard they simply became known as M48A5, dropping the API designation.
