The military dismantled the 115-mm U-5TS Molot smoothbore gun (2A20) from the T-62M tank. This technique has become widespread in the combat zone.
In viral footage on the Web, you can see how the soldiers towed the American M1224 International MaxxPro armored car. The task was performed by two tracked vehicles at once — a tractor made on the chassis of the T-54/55 and a T-62M. For some reason, the latter is missing a gun.
At the same time, both tractors are equipped with massive anti-drone "barbecue grills." The BTS-2/4, which is capable of pulling objects whose mass is several times greater than the weight (more than 13,500 kg) of the M1224, could well have coped with the task. But when there are a large number of drones in the sky, insurance in the form of another tank will not hurt.
The T-62 was adopted in 1961, with a mass of 37 tons, it is considered a medium weight category tank. Initially, the tanks were equipped with V-shaped 12-cylinder diesel engines with a capacity of 580 hp. Later they were replaced with more powerful V-46-5M with a capacity of 690 hp, which allowed them to accelerate to 50 km/h on highways, as well as up to 27 km/h on a dirt road.
Earlier www1.ru reported that crossing the Shmel flamethrower and a ground robot on the line of contact led to an unexpected result.
