Hi Tanks, if only the Internet was available in the 70s,lol. Sigh
"Soviet analysts stopped counting after 3km" this made my day 😂
The fact is that in Eastern and Central Europe the terrain is not visible beyond 2.5 km, due to the relief of the conditions of the terrain - slopes, hills, depressions and hills, natural for this theater of operations. So 3 km was some kind of limiting average value. Of course, in the desert areas, the firing ranges were different. In addition, at 8x magnification with binoculars, a tank at a range of 1.5 km will be a difficult target for an experienced gunner. It will be a small square on the binoculars grid. Even if the tank is standing. When he moves to hit such a target will be even more difficult.
@@Imprudentman well that is true but knowing the true capabilities of the gun at bigger ranges is extremely useful too.
Now with the upgraded T-62 with thermal imaging system that makes spotting targets easier they wish they could know if they should engage at all or not.
@@AyoubusMagnus A thermal imaging system is a rather complex system. The Russians have only recently learned how to make thermal imagers themselves. Actually, a rangefinder or a laser rangefinder is an inexpensive and really useful thing for a tanker who constantly solves the problem of accurately determining the range to a target via an optical channel. The regular cumulative ammunition of the T-62 gun, from the 60s of the last century, penetrates 500 mm of armor. What the author of this video mentioned. The frontal projection of the turret of the Leopard 2a4 tank is equivalent to 300-350 mm of armor. This is the most protected part of the tank. Leopard 1 has even thinner armor. Although, with hinged protection components, it will be improved. It seems that you are being ironic whether tank crews will open fire. In reality, this is decided by the tank commander, in accordance with the combat mission set by the superior commander. The task of shooting at long ranges, or rather determining the range to the target, is solved by a ballistic calculator or computer, which also calculates a correction for the movement of the target. What is implemented in modern tanks.
@@ImprudentmanRussians or rather soviets developed thermal imagers before, so it's nothing relatively new as you say, the other thing you are wrong about is the 2a4 armour, absolutely no way that the strongest part of the turret is only 350mm equivalent, it's more closer to 500.
@@Sveta7 I admit that the forehead of the Leopard 2a4 tower can be 500 and even 650 mm of equivalent homogeneous armor, but I saw a video where they dismantled the Leopard 2a4 lined in Ukraine. The author of the video noted that in the area of the gun mantlet the armor of the turret was assembled from 3 armor plates with a total thickness of 300 mm. Apparently this is an early version of Leopard 2
Tankograd is an excellent source for soviet vehicle design details and reasoning, their article on T-72 clears numerous myths.
“Groundbreaking gun same old everything else” is why I like the T-62 so much tbh it was the last conventional mbt design the Soviets produced before switching to the ultra low profile autoloader tanks they should’ve continued developing conventional tank designs imo to truly match the western ones
they look about the same height wise to me
M60 and T-62 are medium tanks, T-64 was first soviet MBT.
I mean the original T80 would absolutely thrash the original M1 and maybe even original Leopard 2. The design philosophy was sound, but Russia isn't the soviet union. Western nations didn't collapse and kept improving their tanks while Russia just couldn't which led to where we are today.
China will inherent their legacy
@@92HazelMocha "the original T-80 would absolutely trash original M1"
Saddam thought the same. However as russians have found out, T-72 doesn't equal T-80 and T-80 will never equal T-80U, even if it's B, BV or BVM modification package because T-80U is straight up different tank and slapping shit to it won't stick.
now that i think abut it- the turret on the chinese 122TM looks suspiciously similar to the T-62
Don't quote me on this but im pretty sure the reason for that is that the chinese actually captured a T62 in a sort of border conflict and wanted to improve it/improve their own designs with it.
It was during the Sino-Soviet border conflict in 1969. I believe a Chinese RPG team disabled the tank and the Soviets tried to recover it unsuccessfully under fire.
I love Tank Encyclopedia. I've learned a lot from you guys.
It was the only Dutch armor tank we had. 🫣
The T-55 reboot, same but different 😂
I like the Godzilla movie like RC models
9:15 stop and go models movie? nice...
Cool video
Great video! Thanks! I didnt know you had begin publishing your own magazine; I will check it out
A thought about soviets having gunner on the left. I think it was inherited from older t-34 76, where the commander-gunner sat behind the driver. Due to the all the noise inside the friver could not properly hear commanders orders, so the commander couldl use his feet to give the driver commands by kicking him in a specific way.
Love these insightful videos, thank you for the upload.
At 5:11, I see something oddly familiar. 🤔 ASP to HCF 😂
Nice
Thanks!
Awesome video 📹
Is this tank still in service even in the modern day?
Yes, most notably with the Russian Federation, even seeing action in Ukraine.
Yooo bettah believe it Budyee
Yes. Syria is a major active user of the tank in recent years. Russia reactivated a couple hundred of them around 2018 for Syria to replace their losses from the years of civil war and fighting ISIS. They also allegedly reactivated another 500-600 or so to make up for losses in Ukraine, of which we've seen about 80 of those destroyed or captured. Mostly captured in the Kharkiv offensive, many of them in questionable condition and definitely not properly refurbished, but several more that have been destroyed since then has been seen to be properly refurbed and modernized. A lot of former soviet countries have handfuls of them in service here and there. Egypt also has a substantial number of them in service still.
Yes
@TanksEncyclopediaYT Not in it's original form but rather an updated version with improved armour and thermals, on top of all that it's not really in the frontline use so it's operations in Ukraine are rather limited.
Love tankograd
Can you say definitely what is the t-62s gun depression?
According to the author of the article and script on his blog, it is -6 degrees unstabilized and -5 degrees stabilized

All from t34 can be used in modern warfare in real time
It would have been more deadly if they got a rangefinder in the turret.
The sight has in build a range finder that is good enough I would say.
The Russians were the first to install ejecting turrets in all their tanks and the first army to use highly trained cosmaunauts toan th
Okay, so all the jazz about the forced angled reload is BS. It is optional.
It is the default that can be overridden, at the expense of the loader.
