During the struggle for its independence from the French, Algeria gained powerful allies, such as the Soviet Union, so it should not be surprising that the Algerian army has been equipped primarily with Soviet military equipment from the 1960s onward. These included a substantial number of armored vehicles and tanks. Some of the hardware delivered in this era has remained in service and is seemingly well-appreciated even up to this day, most notably the T-55. This could not be said for the later T-62, which was supplied in the late 1970s. Due to a troublesome history, it was largely overshadowed by the tanks that came before and after it. However, in recent years, attempts were made after decades in service to finally improve the combat effectiveness of the aging T-62 by upgrading it with the Russian Berezhok turret.
