Года не помеха: полувековым танкам Т-62 нашли применения в бою благодаря хитрой задумке

Combat vehicles fire from closed positions, receiving coordinates from reconnaissance drones

Soviet-made T-62 tanks have found their application in modern combat, effectively turning into short-range artillery. This was reported by a serviceman with the call sign Boroda.

Т-62

The old but reliable tank fires from a so-called closed position, where the target is out of the crew's direct line of sight. The tank receives coordinates for firing from drone operators.

When our armored group commanders are given a target, they come to us and tell us the square. We immediately run to our favorite machine, aim, report, and work it out. The "birds" correct us.
Call sign Boroda, serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces

The T-62 was adopted in 1961, with a mass of 37 tons, it is considered a medium-weight 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 engines with a capacity of 690 hp, allowing them to accelerate up to 50 km/h on highways, and up to 27 km/h on dirt roads.
