Excellent video, the T-62M has seen very heavy use in the Syrian war, it has the advantages of being able to fire those missiles at ATGM positions at long range in the open desert, and Syria was so pleased with its performance that one of the first things they requested from Russia was more T-62Ms. The T-62M sees service along side something as modern as the T-90 in this theater which is very interesting.

@@CarlGGHamilton I dont think your data comes from trails with the first type of T-62. The tank got no real stabilization for both gun and sights. Well sights didn't even need it since the tank got no actual FCS. It wasn't any way more sophisticaded than T-55 in the 60s. T-55AM2 in 70s got problems with hiting at any speed over 20km/h and it already had stabilization, working but still quite simple FCS and non-digital ballistic computer which data based on meteorological sensor output. This and barrel thermal sleve and laser range fonder made it more modern tank than T-72 coming right from the factory. Even now 1 hit out of 4 shots at 2000m is something more of a luck in T-72M1. Not to mention Soviet rushed design from 60s. The Soviet data of this time on their tanks went far beyond the facts like into the propaganda area. We are talking about manually setting of the range and aiming via simple optic sights. Your best bet was experience. Not very common across conscripts.

Oh yes he was! The ' 'Khrushchev Model 1959' ', or K-59 for short, was a secret prototype of a anti-tank political weapon. It's design, as crude as it may look on the surface, as pretty efficient: a Khrushchev unit would be attached to the back of a military truck and launch by a catapult into an enemy tank. Upon impact, the Khrushchev weapon would hit the target with his fist so hard, that the tank would be reformed into oblivion! Planned to be massed-produced for the late 60's, the project was abandoned in 1964 due to a lack of Khrushchev avaiable for mass production. True story!

The only reason any T34s remained on the books after the mid 1950s is the Soviet Union/Russian Empire had been too desperate for weapons too often in its history to discount the value of having even obsolete ones around as a last resort.

You know that the tank that actually starts every morning is by far German Leopard? It takes close to 3x more time to bring it to service than T-72 or T-62. Such tank is not the cost in tank batalion During first year of use it will eat more money in fuel parts and work than you will pay for it when purchasing. Thing with the Soviet era tanks is that you can buy 5 Soviet engines in the price of single Maybach of 800 series for a tank. Leopard 1 and T-62 initial costs are the same. Its the maintenance costs and possibility of servicing in any poor chop-shop makes T-62 a choice No1. It also came in numbers that make possible to buy 12 to use and 12 more to cannibalize for spare parts. Its not that easy to get 25 Leopards in good shape and price. T-62? I bet Russians still have some for sale in "like new" condition.

You are wrong about the tracks , they are held in place by bolts just as the T 54/55 and all Soviet and Russians tanks that follow the T54/55, the noise is made probably by the metal tracks connecting with the drive sprocket plus the tracks going round the metal front idler wheel , yes there is a metal plate on the rear of the tank like on the T34 but as you could see it was not worn from being hit by lose track pins , because you could see the bolt heads in the tracks which hold the track pins in place . You should not believe everything you hear , use you eyes , look and examine and question everything , when a person is wrong correct them.

It doesn't make much sense that the pins would all be loose, and be loud enough to overcome the engine noise. Thanks for commenting this

im remembering Loza's story in which he explains that while he really liked the lend-lease shermans, an issue they had was that the rubber tracks made them slipper in icy conditions, and given that the Russians often made their tracks with mostly if not entirely out of steel, I have to wonder if thats exactly the reason why they use mostly/solely steel tracks.

@@MrSGL21 Some of it perhaps. NLAW's cant penetrate them. TOW are few but good. Javelins - 1/3 can be fired because of battery problems and poor maintenance. Plus some T-72's have survived 7 of them and some none. It is good idea but bad execution. Stungas, I have no clue if they are any good. Excaliber is best of all. Still once it is used, it needs to change position. I've seen videos where it was used and it had decent performance. That leaves the simple RPG as the best solution. Most of these weapons have a problem of range. T-62 out-ranges all but Excalibur. I am under impression that even Grad is better and more reliable solution than most high tech crap NATO sent.

In particular, what is the length of the penetrator, compared with current Russian munitions? Even Javelins and NLAWs only had a 10-15% kill probability. T62's are perfectly fine for the way Russians are waging this campaign.

Just as you mention, the loud "aggressive tracks" were not a problem in the soviet-satellite countries, quite to the contrary. They valued the intimidation factor, as the east-block governments always considered using the army to fight "internal counter-revolution", i.e. people protesting on the streets and striking workers. And they did in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland. As to any damaged road surfaces - since they were "people's" armies in a "people's" states... it was people's duty to repair the damages.

The T-64 is rather rare for a Soviet tank, and was never exported. I believe most of the Soviet tanks in their collection were captured from other nations, such as Middle East countries, like Iraq. (I would look it up, but the Tank Museum site was redone recently, and the collection list is still incomplete.)
