I’ve been trying to find a photos of two combat engineer variants of the T-62. The first is the T-62/122 that’s been fitted with a 122mm howitzer, and the second is the T-62/160 that was fitted with a shortened 160mm mortar for demolition purposes. Basically the Soviet counterparts to the American M728 and British Centurion AVRE. All I can find are mentions, but I cannot find a single photo anywhere. I’ve even gone through the archives at the Armor and Cavalry Collection and I cannot find anything. If anyone has a photo could you please post it here?

Honestly, for such obscure vehicle as the T-62/160 or the T-62/122 which is also possibly be a one off field modification, i doubt you would find any pics on the internet, best is to ask the engineers that worked on it. Closest i could find is an Iraqi T-54/160
this is not T62, and it doesn’t look like it either
this is not a variant of T62 either. To be honest, it’s the grandfather of T72
it’s a combination of t62 and chinese older tank wz 121.
dude i took these from a reliable sources (:
T62: completed in 1962, equipped in 1964
WZ140：from 1953 to 1958. the experimental medium-sized tank developed by Tajil to replace the T-54, Its turret is also different from T62, it just looks very similar
WZ122:Its turret is a self-designed turret, closer to the enlarged version of the Type 59.
the vehicle body is also independently designed, longer than the WZ121, with the same spacing between each load-bearing wheel. Equipped with adjustable hydraulic and pneumatic suspension device

are you saying Wikipedia?
XD bruh
these are from a tank telegram channel ok?
you are saying what i said (:
If somebody has those connections and can get photos of those tanks, I would appreciate it, but I’m not going to risk coming up on the fed’s radar by contacting persons inside of the Russian government or Russian defense industry Just so I can see what they looked like.
You got me thinking I was going to see tank recovery vehicles and bridge-layers…
Teasing me is WRONG… I feel baited by the topic…
XD

Because I don’t want you to be disappointed.
