The T-62 was originally conceived as a companion weapon to the T-55, essentially an up-gunned version with the 2A20 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 cannon could fire its BR-5 APFSDS steel round through approximately 300mm of armor at a range of 1000 meters, adequate to deal with the perceived threat of NATO tanks like 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 alongside T-55s but later fulfilled a similar role as the T-55.
