T-62 is a Soviet medium battle tank introduced in 1961. As a further development of Soviet T-55 tank series, T-62 retained many similar design elements of its predecessor including low profile and thick turret armor. In contrast with previous tanks, which were armed with 100 mm rifled tank cannons, T-62 was first production tank armed with a smoothbore tank cannon plus a larger 115mm gun that could fire armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), long dart penetrator rounds at higher velocities. While T-62 became standard tank in Soviet arsenal, it did not fully replace T-55 in export markets due to its higher manufacturing costs and maintenance requirements compared to its predecessor. Although it was followed by later Russian tank models in successor states of Soviet Union, T-62 remained in reserve in former USSR and in frontline use by other countries. Design feature s of T-62 became standardized in subsequent Soviet and Russian mass-produced main battle tanks. More than 22,700 T-62 tanks were built. Besides 115 mm cannon, secondary armament are a 7.62mm coaxial general-purpose machine gun and 12.7mm antiaircraft heavy machine gun.
