С танка Т-62 сняли пушку: хитрая задумка превратила советскую машину в БТР

The former fighting compartment can accommodate several people

Footage of a Soviet-made T-62 tank has appeared online. The combat vehicle stands out due to the absence of a 115-mm gun, but the turret is preserved. Apparently, this particular model is used as a heavy armored personnel carrier.

In the now-vacant former fighting compartment, benches are usually installed, on which several soldiers can sit.

To defend against drones, lattice screens and a massive "barbecue" covering the sides and front upper frontal part are used.

As a reminder, the 37-ton T-62 was adopted into service in the USSR in 1961. Initially, tanks of this version were equipped with V-shaped 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 to 27 km/h on "dirt roads", and up to 50 km/h on highways.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of Su-57 fighters put into operation unique equipment .
