Comparing: (R) T-62A vs. Bat.-Châtillon 25 t

Development of the first Soviet post-war medium tank started in 1951. In 1961, after developing and testing several working prototypes, the T-62A with a rifled gun and the T-62 with a smoothbore gun were deployed. In March 1962, mass production of the T-62A was discontinued. The T-62 tank was mass-produced from 1961 through 1975, with a total of twenty thousand vehicles manufactured. Later modifications of the vehicle are still in service.

This experimental tank was a further development of the AMX 13. The tank underwent trials but never entered mass production nor saw service. Two vehicles were manufactured.
