Russia Deploys 50-Year-Old T-62 Tanks To Ukraine
May 26th, 2022Via: The Warzone:
Numerous Cold-War era Russian T-62 tanks have been photographed at Melitopol railway station in southeastern Ukraine near the current front lines of the three-month-old conflict in the country. Whether the tanks will be used by Russian forces or turned over to local separatist groups is currently unclear, but their presence can only raise questions about Russia’s depleting armor reserves after months of significant losses.
Actually, some of those tanks could be as much as sixty years old. But hey, if they’re hard-pressed for more tanks and these golden oldies still work, why not give them a shot?
Not that anyone should give any credence to the Bezos/CIA WaPo outlet, but maybe those old tanks are plenty modern for this stage of the conflict.
