As the successor to the T-55, the T-62, like its predecessor, was the backbone of the tank divisions of the Soviet Union for many years. Although it is very similar to the T-55, the new Soviet "fighting armor" has remarkable improvements in terms of armor, its target systems and, above all, the main weapons system.
The T-62 was equipped with the new 115 mm high-velocity smoothbore gun.
Innovative for that time, it was able to use a wide range of ammunition that was able to penetrate the armor of the combat tanks used by NATO.
The tank entered service in the early 1960s and was used in its various versions by both the Soviet Union and its allies.
It has been deployed in various military conflicts, from Afghanistan to the Middle East to the Ukraine conflict.
