Soviet T-62 tanks have begun to return to service in Russian tank forces. Currently, these combat vehicles are being massively de-preserved, undergoing restoration and repair in the Far East.
According to open sources, the activities to "bring to senses" heavy equipment are mainly carried out at the site of the 103rd Armored Repair Plant in the village of Atamanovka, Zabaykalsky Krai.
The supply of these tanks is mainly carried out from the storage bases of the Eastern Military District. The T-62s may come in handy, as they are mainly used not as active combat units, but as stationary firing points to strengthen the defense.
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.
