T95 was a series of American medium tank prototypes that pre-dated the T-62, designed and built in the mid-fifties. T95 tanks were the first to mount smoothbore guns. T95 hulls were the first to be built using composite armour. They were poised to enter production as the most advanced combat vehicles ever built.

Except. The T95 would never enter service. Despite being one of the most revolutionary and forward-thinking projects of all time, the T95 ended in failure. So that begs the question – what happened to the T95 program? And why was the M60 so mundane? This is the story of the futuristic super tanks that America chose to leave behind.
