Russia name their tanks after the year they were started to be made. They are pretty much out of T62 and T54s are what they are bringing to the front now
This is not correct.
The T-54 entered production in 1947
The T-62 entered production in 1961
The T-72 entered production in 1970
The T-80 entered production in 1976
The T-90 entered production in 1993
The years are pretty close to the names, so the can be used as a rough estimation, but they can't be used as exact years.
