The T-54 and T-55 main battle tanks were the Soviet Union's replacements for the World War II era T-34 tank. The T-54/55 tank series is the most produced in the world, and very widely employed, especially by former client states of the Soviet Union.

The T-72, which entered production in 1971, was first seen in public in 1977. The T-72, introduced in the early 1970s, is not a further development of the T-64, but rather a parallel design chosen as a high-production tank complementing the T-64.

Development of the American M60 series of tanks began in 1956 following a decision to create an improved version of the M48 'Patton' tank.

Over 15,000 vehicles have been produced, many of which are still serving in the armies of 22 countries.
