The Ukrainian Army Captured Dozens Of The Russian Army's Old T-62 Tanks--And Is Now Sending Them Back
After losing a thousand of its best T-80 and T-72 tanks in Ukraine, the Kremlin early this summer began pulling 50-year-old T-62s out of long-term storage and sending them to the front—especially in the south.
Five months later in September, Ukrainian brigades launched counteroffensives in the east and south. The southern brigades started scooping up old T-62 by the dozen. And now, as was inevitable, those T-62s are beginning to appear on the front line again—on the Ukrainian side.
The first video of an ex-Russian T-62 in distinctive Ukrainian camouflage appeared online last week.
It’s not yet clear where Ukraine has deployed its new-old T-62s or which unit is using them. But it’s a safe bet the other 42 or so newly Ukrainian T-62s lurk nearby. Armies after all tend to organize their tanks in battalions of around three dozen vehicles.
