A look at the T-62, T-62M and T-62MV, its history, but also how it compares to the more modern T-72, specifically the T-72B3. It is outclassed in many regards, yet the question needs to be asked how much of that does actually matter in most combat situations currently in Ukraine. Additionally, we also look at logistics and other factors as well. Disclaimer in 2019 I was invited by the Panzermuseum Munster and the Tank Museum at Bovington.
