T-62

The T-62 is a Soviet main battle tank, a further development of the T-55. Its 115 mm gun was the first smoothbore tank gun in use.

The T-62 was produced between 1961 and 1975. It became a standard tank in the Soviet arsenal, partly replacing the T-55, although that tank continued to be manufactured in the Soviet Union and elsewhere after T-62 production was halted. The T-62 was later replaced in front-line service by the T-72.

In Project Reality, the T-62 appears as the main battle tank of the Militia, Insurgents and the Free Syrian Army, often in very small numbers at the same time(<2), presummably due to the lack of funding and equipment avaliable for the to purchase a large number of tanks.
