On it rub Russian marks, apply Ukrainian and turn the cars back into battle. However, when it comes to 60-year-old T-62, there are exceptions. And the point is not that the Armed Forces abandon old cars, because from Slovenia Ukraine has received 28 M-55S tanks, which are deeply upgraded T-55. One of the reasons for the use of M-55S is a modern 105-mm gun, which is suitable for Nativ ammunition, and Russian T-62 has old 115 mm guns, which have few shells.
Therefore, engineers process the T-62 into engineering machines or BMPT. From the T-62 remove the tower and sew it with armor. Volunteers do this, and it takes about $ 40,000 to convert one tank. Without a tower and gun, there is a 33-ton case with a 580 hp diesel engine. There is a lot of free space inside to arrange more fighters. Machine guns are also added to the machine and the BTR or BMPT is created. 100 mm booking is a little for tanks, but three times more than on APCs by M-113.
