Cambodian army received about 100 tanks Chinese manufacturing Type 62 by, equipped with 85mm cannon barrel, highly maneuverable.

Sina network recently published series of rare photographs of the Type 62 staging of Cambodia. The photos were taken under the People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1993). However, according to foreign materials, but especially of the Institute for Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the whole tank Type 62 is still operating although Cambodia has long been a major upheaval.


The Type 62 tank was probably China provides the Khmer Rouge government before 1979. After Vietnam volunteer military defeat of the Khmer Rouge, the tanks were delivered to the People's Republic of Cambodia's armed forces use.



Type 62 is the type of light tanks from 674 factories (now part of Harbin manufacturing complexes) produced on the basis of increased maternal Compact Type 59 midsize. Specifically, the Type 62 is made with thin borders , the smaller cannon, equipped with electronic limited sight weaponry. Overall, this increased sample is designed to serve combat in mountainous terrain, muddy.

Type 62 weight is 21 tons, 15-50mm thick armored, armed with 85mm main gun with 47 bullets 62-85TC Type and size 7,62-12,7mm three machine guns.

Despite featuring high mobility, rapid-fire 85 mm cannon fire powerful shots, but the Type 62 is still have fatal weaknesses. Specifically, the front place thick steel armor 50 mm can only protect against small weapons and small pieces of artillery, but completely useless before individual anti-tank weapons. Type 62 can be easily destroyed by anti-tank grenade launcher RPG-7 even if hit from the front face.

In addition to disadvantages armor, Type 62 fighter performing very poorly. Due to the design of electronic systems to reduce weight simply be the ability to identify and target the weak car. 85 mm cannon system lacks stability when firing up the accuracy is not high. Type 62 can not combat at night due to lack of ammunition observed.

Later, China has upgraded Type 62 tanks to replace the standard G with old turret fitted with a new type barreled 105mm gun with views towards stabilization system and fire control system modernization. This version works until the new 2013-2014 years gradually withdrawn from the equipment.

jenis kendaraan yang sudah out dated dan gak terlalu banyak guna di medan perang. Selain heavy maintenance dan mahal di operasional, kapasitasnya di medan tempur modern juga meragukan karena sistem alkom dan sensornya sudah outdated dan proliferasi AT weapon membuat kendaraan seperti ini hampir useless. Selain Kamboja juga ada Vietnam yang memiliki hampir 1000-an barang sejenis (T-55 dan T-62)..... rolling coffin if you want to say. Modern Wheeled IFV (like Terrex, Patria AMV and other) , is much more lethal and useful to me.
