7 tanks per month: the Russian Federation is not capable of carrying out a plan for recovery T-62-media (photo)
The enterprise should produce 22-23 machines to invest in time. Gurulev reported that a tank battalion plus a few cars had been restored during the receipt of the order. The publication states that the 103rd armored repair plant works in three shifts, and the tank battalion is about 36 tanks. The work was carried out from mid -October to early March. Thus, it turns out that the real ability to repair and modernize tanks at the plant is about 7 cars per month.
The T-62 is additionally equipped with armor and dynamic protection (DS), as well as install a 1PN-96MT-02 thermal imaging sight. In this case, the booking of the tank, according to the authors, has a chaotic appearance. On one tank just welded an additional massive armored plait, and the top was installed. The tower was exacerbated by armor, which is called "Illich's eyebrows".
The other car was installed dynamic protection, but without an additional sheet of armor on the housing, and the tower was covered with dynamic protection, which was not in the previous tank. Such a solution with increasing the full mass of the tank and increasing the load on the front can affect the characteristics of the tank, the publication emphasizes.
In addition, the upgraded T-62 will receive damage on the battlefield and will also need to be repaired, which will not allow the enterprise to increase its capabilities. We will remind, on March 6 in the British intelligence stated that the Russian Federation transferred to the front outdated T-62 tanks due to high losses in armored vehicles. On February 25, analysts recorded in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation T-62 tanks of 2022. Modernization is also different from the present.
