T-62 Ukraine.

This is coolbert:

Modern Russian tanks the Ukraine Conflict found to be defective? Out with the new, in with the old? Auto-loader a culprit from too many advanced Russian tanks being destroyed in entirety, hard-to-replace crews incinerated or blown to bits as a result. 

Solution the refurbishment of ancient [and previously mothballed] Soviet era T-62 tanks with upgrades!

See this You Tube Video the Russian tank repair facility. Hard at work, are we comrades! All audio in Russian unfortunately.

"Russia is modifying 800 T-62 tanks for the war in Ukraine."

T-62 tanks part of a series of armor designs the Soviet era original development of which began in the years immediately in the aftermath of World War Two! T-62 not having the auto-loading mechanism.

"Deputy Gurulev: 800 T-62 tanks will replenish the Russian army within 3 years"

Thanks to the Internet web site anna-news.info the story by Dmitry Valyuzhenich 12.10.2022. Translation from google translate.

"The deputy Gurulev [member of the Russian parliament] also said that the 103rd armored plant [refurbishment and upgrade facility] located in Atamanovka near Chita was loaded with orders for three years."

"It is during this period that these 800 T-62 tanks should return to service. He explained the need for their return to service by large losses in equipment in the initial period of the special military operation in Ukraine."

Goo luck Mr. Russian. Even eight-hundred improved T-62 going to make a big difference? And the tanks are going to be operated by older and out-of-shape reservists whose last active duty military service was decades ago! Good luck with that too.
