The Type 62 is a Chinese light tank that was developed in the early 1960s. It was designed primarily for reconnaissance and support roles, featuring a low profile and a compact design. The tank is equipped with a 105 mm gun and has a maximum speed of around 50 km/h on roads, making it suitable for various terrains. This tank was based on the earlier Type 59 design and shares some similarities with the Soviet T-54. Although it has been largely replaced by more modern vehicles, the Type 62 remains in service with some countries and is used for training and secondary roles.
