T62 tank is still produced by Lower Tajik Group, which is the follow-up type of T55. The public appearance of T62 in 196 1 brought quite a shock to the west at that time, which stimulated the appearance of M60 equipped with L7(M68) 105MM gun by the US military. This tank evolved from T55, with thicker armor, larger caliber and heavier weight. It can adapt to the operation under the condition of nuclear war. The early T62 fire control system was the same as the T55 basic model, and the ranging system was all optical combination ranging, but it was soon equipped with advanced fire control system. The fire control system of T62 is the same as the model after T55AM, which are both wave 2 and wave 3 systems. T62 artillery is 2A20 1 15MM cannon, and T62 is also.

The tail-stabilized long-rod armor-piercing projectile equipped with T62 has an initial velocity as high as 16 15 m/s, and can hit the target without a good fire control system. Therefore, T62' s early fire control system was very simple, which was worse than T55A, but it was soon equipped with a sophisticated fire control system. The wave 2 and wave 3 fire control systems developed for T62 were finally installed on T55.

T62 also has many models, with huge output, and is still in service in Maozi. Mao Ziguo thinks T62 is powerful, reliable, powerful and excellent in performance, which is enough to deal with any ground threat from the Far East in the future 10. Therefore, T62 is basically deployed to the east of Ural Mountain, and most of them are deployed in the border areas of China and Mongolia. However, after the Chechen War broke out, T72 and T90 were unwilling to let T80 stay in Chechnya for a long time because of some technical defects, so T62 was transferred to Chechnya to fight, where T62 was well received by the Maoist army and thought that T62 was more suitable for fighting in Chechnya than T80. T62 hardly explodes inside because it is attacked by rockets or mines, and its safety is much better than T80, and it can also resist the shooting of most weapons of Chechen army.

T62 is equipped with AT 12 trendy gun-launched missiles from the M-type. This kind of gun-launched missile is guided by laser beam, with an effective range of 4000m and considerable power. After T62M, all types have wave 2 or wave 3 fire control systems and laser rangefinders, which can shoot while moving. Also of this type, T62 began to be equipped with additional armor modules, which are thicker than T55' s and have protected areas. T62 with AT 12 and additional modular armor can fully cope with the US military M60A3, and is not worse than M60A5438+0 as generally thought. The Russians think that the only foreign tank in the Far East that can surpass T62 is the Japanese Type 90 tank, while the tanks equipped by other countries are worse or at most equivalent to the current T62MV.

The main model of T62 is

T62A (basic type, without ballistic computer, the gun is only stable in high and low directions)

T62K (command vehicle)

T62M (armor and fire control are enhanced, the artillery is stable in all directions, laser rangefinder and wave 2 fire control system are installed, the main armor structure is strengthened, and additional modular armor and explosive armor can be installed).

T62V (power unit changed to be the same as T72)

T62M 1 (equipped with Wave 3 fire control system)
