   The T-62 is my favorite tank and i just got this book.The people who wrote it are liars.They said the M-60 destroyed hundreds of T-62s while only one T-62 destroyed one M-60,if your going to lie at least put some effort into it!Biased western propoganda is all this is.The T62 ruled the battlefield in 1973 and the only 2 things that kept the Egyptians from winning was the fact they only had a small # of T-62s and poor tactics.

   The T-55 far outnumbered the T-62 in 1973.The M-60′s big bulky turret was full of shot traps.The Iraqi T-72s were the inferior export version with thinner armor and they used cheaper shells not the more expensive Tungstan shells,plus after Coalition air raids the Iraqis were leaving many of their tanks empty until the ground war began,ths meant that many of the Iraqi tanks destroyed by western MBTs were actually empty when struck.Plus one T-72 did knock out a Abrams!So stop trying to distort the facs just to make Amrican tanks look better,becouse there were reasons American tanks were succesfull and it had nothing to do with our tanks being better than Russia’s!

   iI have to say this,the west Israel and the states lie in order to make western technology look good.They know that Iraqi T-72s were the weaker inferior export version,they know that some were not even made in Russia some probubly the bigger end were Iraqi Lions of Babylon the Iraqi homemade T-72.They know that Iraqi T-72 ammo was cheap,not the expensive Tungstan which would have been more effective.They know all of this yet they continue to say oh how great the Abrams is over the T-72.All western biased hype.First of all to be fair which the west is not the T-72 was a member of a earlier generation of MBTs,the Abrams was newer,second the T-72 of Iraq 1991 was as stated above not the best version out there,third poor crew training.I get sick to my stomach of the lies and lies of ommission,but despite all this one Iraqi T-72 did knock a Abrams deader than Hell!But they don’t like to talk about that.

   The T-62 was used in Afghanastand becouse the T-72s suspension couldnot handle the terrain,and in 2008 Russian T-62s destroyed Georgian T-72s.The T-62 was the toughest Soviet tank!

   Once i got into a awful fight in a forum on tanks becouse i liked Soviet armor and the other guys were patriotic so that didnot sit well with them,we had some very nasty exchanges and i learned the three kinds of people you never argue with well actually four,someone who thinks they know it all,an idiot,someone who is brainwashed,and someone who is very patriotic.

   A guy on one forum said that the main gun of the Soviet T-34/85 was simply not a good penatrator,this baffled me,

    Oh hell I love the T-62 and it is my favorite tank postwar,I despise western lies that try to make it look bad like this new book.Im sure the Israelies who had the misfortune of being on the recieving end of the T-62′s 115 mm main gun in 1973 would feel very differently about this new book.And Egypt only had 400 T-62s anyway!Come on give me a break!400 does not a war win!!!I don’t care what they say about the other Soviet tanks the T72 was a piece of junk,it has never been able to take on it’s western counterparts in any war,even losing to the T-62 in Georgia in 2008!I know what i wrote before but im tired of defending a classic loser!The T-62 on the other hand is my favorite postwar tank,i know ive said this many times before,and well this book is a LIE!

    Actually i stand corrected the Iraqi T-72s turned Iranian Chieftans into garbage cans,i had forgot that.I should not let western bias brainwash me to the point of putting down a great tank,and if WW3 had erupted before 1980 we really would have been in trouble becouse the Soviets had the T54/55 T-62, T-64 thats how spoiled the Soviet military was they had a extra Main Battle tank sitting around that was never exported,to my knowledge has never seen combat to this day,and the T-64′s simpler cheaper brother the T-72.America for years well until the M1 Abrams was deployed in the early 80s had only 2 MBTs,the M-48 A3 and M-60A1 the M-60A3 coming in 1978 i believe.In the Red army when a new tank was deployed it displaced rather than replaced the older tank.

    I just watched T-55s on video,over and over and over,how i love that tank!My next purchase is going to be the Centurion vs the T-55 even though i already know which one the author will say won the most,but nothing else than for the pictures of the great T-55!

    ahhhh how i love Soviet armor!The T-54/55/62 and the T-64/72/80,i know you think im nuts for posting here all the time,but when you love something as much as i love Soviet armor you can’t help it.It makes me so mad how the west lies and distorts the truth about Soviet tanks.Like the guy who wrote that book saying only one T-62 knocked out one M-60!He actually thought everyone would believe that?And how they brag about Desert Storm,like they had defeated the Red army instead of the Iraqi army,BIG DIFFERENCE!They have lied on the T-72 so much they have succeeded in branding it a wimpy tank and of course that is not true but Americans in general don’t like nuance they like oversimplification like duh the Abrams is so much better than that commie junk.
