The Ukrainian military creates handicrafts of various techniques, so the Soviet T-62 can also be useful for terroborons and National Guard. Russian troops lost more than 700 tanks in the spring during an invasion of Ukraine. This forced them to compress outdated T-62 tanks and send them to the front. The Armed Forces captured several T-62. Forbes reports. As the trophies, the Ukrainian military has already captured 9 T-62.

When asked if the Armed Forces will use such old tanks, the authors answer, which is undoubtedly. The Ukrainian army will use not only the T-62, but any other, even older weapons without hesitation. The rival of the Soviet T-62 is the American M60, which in the Western armies is replaced by more sophisticated samples. The Russian army planned to use the T-62 in positions to strengthen defense. They did not go on the offensive because of their vulnerability to Javelin and Ukrainian T-64.

However, during the T-62 counter-offensive, they also fall under distribution. For the Ukrainian Army, the T-62 can also be useful for formations on the second line-territorial defense and National Guard. They do not send their command for difficult and dangerous operations. In addition, at least a few Ukrainian engineers have direct experience in T-62. Kyiv inherited some old tanks from the Soviet Army when Ukraine became independent in 1991.
