Next year it will be 60 years since the start of serial production in Nizhny Tagil of the medium T-62. These tanks were produced in a "circulation" of 20,000 units.

They are still in service with a large number of States. Including serving in the Russian army. Some of the sources claim that before the conflict with the Chinese in Damansk, the "sixty-second" were classified.

How is it really? Three years after the start of mass production, these tanks were first presented on May 9, 1965 at a military parade in Moscow dedicated to the twentieth anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Foreign attaches noted that compared to the T-55s that passed in front of them, the new cars have a more powerful and longer gun.

For the second time, the T-62s were lit up already in November 1965, as well as during the Dnepr-67 combined arms maneuvers, unprecedented in scale, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution.

One and a half million servicemen and tens of thousands of pieces of military equipment, including new ones, were involved in military training operations.

By this time, the tank conveyor in Nizhny Tagil had already produced more than 7,300 vehicles, which, in addition to formations on the territory of the Soviet Union, began to arrive in groups of troops located on the territory of European socialist countries.

The following year, the T-62 was already involved in Operation Danube on the territory of Czechoslovakia, where quite often they fell into the lenses of photo and film cameras. And only in 1969 they were thrown into battle on Damansky.

By the way, the last time these armored vehicles passed through the paving stones of Red Square was in 1974. In 1975-76 . Parades were held without tanks, and in 1977 the T-72 was shown for the first time.
