The t-62 originally was conceived as a companion weapon to the t-55. Being essentially a t55 up gunned with the2a20 115mm cannon. Both the t-55 and the t-62 used the same wheels, track, engine, transmission, hatches and other fittings. The primary differences between the two vehicles were the t-62's lengthened hull and new turret design. The new ut-5 can-non could fire its br-5 apfsds steel round through approximately 300mm of armor at a range of 1000 meters. This was adequate to deal with the then perceived threat of such nato tanks as the american m-48 and later models of the british centurion. The t-62 was meant to add long range firing capability to soviet tank regiments being placed alongside t-55s, but in the later years of its deployment it fulfilled much the same role as the t-55.
