Russia Deploys Obsolete T-62 Tanks Amidst Equipment Shortages in Ukraine
Due to significant equipment losses in the war against Ukraine and a shortage of modern military equipment, Russia is returning outdated T-62 tanks to service. Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) reports that the primary restoration of these tanks is taking place in the far-eastern Zabaykalsky Krai. The deployment of the T-62s is a temporary measure stemming from a severe shortage of modern battle tanks, with some potentially being used for defensive positions. Russia has reportedly lost a significant number of tanks since the start of its full-scale invasion.
