As a reminder: The T-62 design was rejected because the USSR thought that idea of a basic improvement over the T-55 that could be upgraded in the future with a bigger gun or turret was a dumb idea. The USSR also hated the T-62 because it could not fit a autoloader.
Almost 80 years later T-62s are still being made while it has been 3 decades since any other Soviet based design has been produced. The DPRK makes more tanks and tank hulls than Russia and have done so for 30 years, the T-62 design has been completely and totally vindicated.
It is pathetic that it has taken Russia since 1961 to realize the reality of modern armored warfare.
