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)
 
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.

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?
