The 115mm U-5TS was introduced on the T-62 main battle tank in 1961. Therefore the U-5TS is the world's first smoothbore tank gun in service.
The U-5TS also equips the T-62M series of upgraded T-62 tanks. Most upgrades include the ability to launch 9M117 anti-tank guided missiles from the gun barrel using the 9K116-2 Sheksna system.
