Ukraine Is Collecting A Lot Of Russia’s Old T-62 Tanks

The Ukrainian armed forces now have captured enough T-62s from the Russians to form a T-62 battalion of their own.

"LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - A senior Russian foreign ministry official said that commercial satellites from the United States and its allies could become legitimate targets for Russia if they were involved in the war in Ukraine."

Russia warns West: We can target your commercial satellites

A senior Russian foreign ministry official said that commercial satellites from the United States and its allies could become legitimate targets for Russia if they were involved in the war in Ukraine.

Iranian drones to Star Wars.

Hmmm...

And here's where the Russian logic kicks in - "we will attack your proprietary equipment that is beyond Ukraine borders, but we will not expect repercussions..."

So going with their logic, Russian equipment is being used by Ukraine to defeat Russian forces.
Why aren't they threatening themselves then?
(The scene from the movie "Blazing Saddles" comes to mind, where the Sherrif is holding his gun to his own head)

It's just another threat to escalate if the West doesn't stop interfering in this domestic dispute.

It's only a matter of time before they threaten to hold their breath.

Perhaps if no Studebaker trucks make their way to Ukraine, the T-62s can be sold to collectors post war.

i'm ready for such sacrifice from their side.....

Against infantry and A/IFVs the T-62 will do just fine in Ukrainian hands. It's armour is sufficiently proof against most fire from BMPs and BTRs. If anything heavier shows up, like a Russian MBT the Ukrainian T-62's accompanying infantry can kill it with their MANPATS.

Again, I personally remember a time when the T-62 was scary. Buzz wuz the M-60 was outclassed and who knew when or if this M-1 thing would ever work.

Made the Centurion and its 20 pdr and 105 mm L7 look less convincing. Hence the superlative Chieftain and its 120 mm, the King Tiger of the 1960s. Of course in Israeli hands the Centurion and M60 (and upgunned/upengined M48 and Shermans for that matter) could clear the field of T-62s.

Now that their stuff has been battle tested in Ukraine, is anything made in Russia considered competitive now.... especially in Russian hands? These guys were supposed to be the West's greatest threat, ready to roll from Poland to Paris.

Good vid on AFU air defence. That Gepard looks right out of a 80s scifi film.

My dad was an ADA missileer at Ft Bliss doing shoots at White Sands, specializing in the Hawk II by the end of his thirteen years in uniform -- and then we went to Iran where he worked on Hawks for the IIAF.

With the upgrades done since then, it is still a credible threat.

On september 7, 1987, a detachment from the french 403rd artillery regiment (air defense) shot down a lybian Tu 22 heading to N'Djamena (Chad) with a single Hawk.

Except it is not a domestic dispute when one country invades another.

Estranged territory. Seduced away, while Mother Russia was weak. Treaties and international agreements forced upon the Rodina by evil western powers, taking advantage of turmoil created by CIA operatives. They are therefore illegitimate. Besides, the referendums prove, without question, the people wish to be Russian. If someone takes what is rightfully yours, do you not have a right to take it back?

The lights on the tank and explosions did not look right. Also, why would tanks continue driving straight on a road while getting blasted. I would have expected some of them to turn off
