Comparing: T-22 medium vs. M48A2/T54E2/T123E6

The prototype of the A-22 hull was produced in 1949. The design incorporated rolled armor plates with maximum slope angles. Test firing showed that the hull was well-protected from high-caliber Armor-Piercing shells. The hull was used as a basis for the project of the T-22 medium tank. Development was discontinued after the preparation of the suspension and general design. Later, the best innovations were applied in the development of the Object 907.

A variant of the M48A2 tank with the T54E2 turret and 120-mm T123E6 gun. In 1958, the prototype underwent comparative trials aimed at choosing the armament for the new U.S. XM60 medium tank.
