Comparing: (R) T-62A vs. Centurion Action X

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.

The Action X turret was planned to be used for later variants of the Centurion tank. One prototype of the turret was mounted on the chassis of the Centurion Mark 7, and another was used for ballistic trials. The vehicles with the Action X turret never entered mass production or saw service.
