            The thing is the tech divide between a late t62 and a t72A are not that big and you can crew them with three guys, guys who have been trained on them all this time, not until the late 70's, and share the gun ammo with the rest of your tank forces.

            I would like to really know why they are wasting resources on this, if they can do it with a 62 the should be able to do it with the 72's.

      a tank that was designed in the late 50s with a thermal sight and a couple egg-carton era blocks slapped on it. majority of the ammo being issued are steel dart rounds manufactured in the early 70s and can only penetrate about 220mm RHA at 500m 90 degrees.

      far less capable than all the T72B3, T80, T90, russia has already lost so they are totally gonna be so useful and help russia win.

      As hilarious as it is that Russia is now having to replace its losses with antique tanks, it’s simultaneously sick as frick to see old ass tanks upgraded with “new” hardware.

      I WANT to see the T-34/85 with ERA and thermals

      Russia and Ukraine have armored repair plants they send their equipment to before they bring them back into the field. All of the T-64BM bulats you see in Ukrainian service now are refurbished hulls they took out of storage from the Kiev repair plants grounds or from Kharkov. All of those satellite images you see of just rusted out abandoned equipment left out in fields, well the vehicles in them are still perfectly exploitable. The Russians have 8 big plants for vehicle modernization and restoration, and the Ukrainians had a few big ones themselves before they got bombed (they're still restoring and re-building IFV's covertly).

      I'll believe this is being mass produced when I see T-62M with thermal sights abandoned in Ukraine. Until then these photos are just for show

      Doesn't matter how much they modernize them, the fact that they NEED to modernise shit thats ~60 years old is embarrassing

      This is just a wartime materiel mobilization measure that's happening parallel to the massive orders that other repair plants are undertaking. Russia isn't just modernizing the T-62, It's also modernizing the BMP-1 and BTR-80 with 30mm modules, and the T-72 plus T-80 tanks with Kontakt 5 and thermals. Also the BMP-2's are coming out with Berezhok modules.

        the M60A3 SLEP is supposed to put the M60 on par with the M1A1 in capability in every department except armor
        loader-assisted 120mm cannon can fire 6 RPM, has thermals for both gunner and commander, an improved engine that isnt beat up over 40 years of service, and RWS with a .50 replacing the original gun-turret cupola

        as long as it gets the first shot off, and with thermals it just might, it can take out pretty much any russian tank

      The autoloader itself isn't the problem, it's the poor crew survivability. That's even worse with the T-62 because the ammo stowage is pretty much wherever you can chuck a spare round and the crew are crammed in like sardines. Any penetrating hit will roast the crew even if they aren't sent into the stratosphere.

    Is Russia actually a looter-shooter state? What could be more looter-shooter than scrapping the large, relatively modern Soviet arms build-up for spare parts, and then having to scrounge around in warehouses abandoned by the USSR thirty years ago for only the most barely-functioning things you have left? Third world countries must be shaking and crying right now, they're literally watching the Russians cannibalize everything they can afford. Ukraine probably fields the largest, most-advanced fleet of legacy-Soviet equipment now between its T-80UD's, the upgraded T-64's, and the upgraded T-72's they're starting to field. I hope they get Kharkov tank plant up and running again after the war, it would be kino to see the T-80 line continue to survive.

    My dad told me stories about them when he worked as an army mechanic after being conscripted. They don’t have heaters and all the heat from the engine just escapes out, they sometimes had a sleeve that should’ve been used to heat the inside of the tank, but those were always lost or misplaced. So many crews would suffer frostbite after having to go out on simple training missions. The feet and the face of the gunner or driver were the first to be effected. Because the feet touch the metal floor at all time and you have to put your face against the optics to use them which were very cold at all times.
