The T-62 MBT was developed from the T-55 by the L.N.Kartsev bureau in Nizhniy Tagil in 1958 under the designation Obiekt 165, the tank originally being armed with a 100mm gun. A further prototype armed with the new 115mm 2A20 smoothbore gun was developed in 1959, designated Obiekt 166. It entered series production in 1962 as the T-62. The tank featured many new concepts, including the use of a 115mm smooothbore gun APFSDS (Armour Piercing in Stabilised Discarding Sabot) rounds, an autoloader and OPVT deep wading equipment as standard. The tank was powered by a V-55V engine developing 580hp and was relatively fast, with a maximum road speed of 50km/hour and a road range of 50km. The tank underwent several design modifications during its service life and was widely exported, being extensively used by armies in the Middle East from where many museum collection examples have eminated. The tank was extensively used during the 1973 "Yom Kippur War". The T-62 remained in service with the Russian Army in 1999, serving in the second invasion of Chechnya in October 1999. Modifications include the T-62 M-1967, M-1970, T-62A, T-62E, T-62M, T-62M1 and the T-62MV with ERA.
