The Ministry of Defense has shown footage of the combat work of a T-62M tank with original protection. The tracked multi-ton vehicle provides effective fire support to attacking motorized riflemen.
The video shows that the tank has received large anti-drone screens. They cover the side projections, the upper part, and the roof of the engine-transmission compartment.
To prevent kamikaze drones from attacking head-on, this area is covered with "dreads" made of cable scraps. A great advantage of the homemade product is that the structure can rotate with the turret.
The T-62 was adopted in 1961, and with a mass of 37 tons, it is considered a medium-weight tank. All tanks are modernized before being sent to the line of combat contact. They are equipped with thermal imaging sights, dynamic protection, and increased power engines.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the modernized BMP-2M surpassed the American Bradley in firing range by two times.
