The TR-65 and TR-68 Rammah (رماح, English: Lancer) are Riysian main battle tanks of the second generation, replacing the first-generation TR-56 Fateh. Created on the basis of the T-62 tank mixed with domestic engineering solutions and other foreign components, they are commonly referred to collectively as the "T-62R" series of tanks. From 1965 to 1985, around 680 TR-65s and 3,780 TR-68s were completed.

The TR-65 and TR-68 have a classic all-steel protection scheme, with a similar layout to the TR-56, but with significantly thicker armor. The primary objective of the TR-65/68's armor was to resist APDS shots from the 105 mm guns just entering service, at combat distances of at least 1,000 meters, and allow for a field of maneuver of at least 30° off-center.
