How is this better than keeping the T-62's turret and gun?
They can't find the turret.How is this better than keeping the T-62's turret and gun?
Logistically they don't have to source 115mm ammo to support a piece in service in very limited numbers. They have also been promised/are receiving an influx of vastly superior, more modern Western tanks. For supporting infantry, they end up with a relatively well-protected vehicle with a rapid-firing weapon that will shred most targets. Losing the original turret will also reduce weight, aiding mobility and easing fuel consumption. I have seen other instances of Beute T62s becoming ARVs. Either way, for a minimal investment, they'll get a useful vehicle out of itHow is this better than keeping the T-62's turret and gun?
My guess is they roll before within the next two weeks. There's rumour that the Ukrainians might force a crossing of the destroyed Antonivsky Bridge, the main crossing over the Dnipro River.Ground is firming up and foliage is coming in on the trees. Weather forecast is for mostly sunny conditions for the next two weeks....

I just hope that Mr. Civilian (Zelenski and any other non military high ranking officials) let the real men and women do their job, and not interfere!
Never forget history! Those people in their hideouts, have caused severe "tideturns" to the battles! A price that is paid by real men and women. For me, all of them, are same.I suspect that between Zelenskyy and Putin, the former is much more likely to listen to military reason and interfere less. The leadership gap in this war is astonishing.

I'd rather they understood that the "could never win". Nothing they ever did could ever gain them that even slight moment... Oops.I hope someday the Russians understand that they did not win. In the east it was the soviet Empire. Not Russia on its own.
They are "forgetting" that fact. And how about claiming it was Russias doing.
Not only the soldiers but also production labour and materials came from all over the soviet empire. Not to mention land lease and the rest of the western allies.
