Literally: Against the background of exhaustion of the reserves of equipment of the 1970s, the release of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began an active return to the operation of even more ancient samples, including T-62 tanks.

Details: According to GUR, the T-62 tanks are restored mainly on the basis of the 103rd armored repair plant, located in the town of Atamanovka of the Transbaikal Territory.
The supply of T-62 tanks to the war zone occurs mainly from the warehouses of the Eastern Military District.
On June 27, 2025, 21 units of T-62 tanks from the Eastern Military District to the European part of Russia were recorded.
Most of these machines are in poor technical condition, as for decades have been stored in the open air without servicing. However, due to the acute shortage of modern basic combat tanks, such as T-90M and T-72B3M, the use of the T-62 is considered as a temporary but forced decision.
The main factors that limit the production of modern armored vehicles in the Russian Federation are the lack of industrial capacity and deficiency of imported high -tech components.
In practice, the T-62 is used not only as active combat units, but also as stationary fire points to strengthen defensive positions.
Recall: In Ukraine, the fragments of a new “Shahaneda” have been found, which has thermal aiming on the target with the help of AI.
