    T-62s are basically a cruel joke on the lives of their crew in 2026 fighting against a sophisticated defender like Ukraine.

    Worse than useless in the vast majority of cases.

      They are still off road capable vehicles, with decent armor and a useful gun. Many Russian soldiers would probably prefer sitting in one of them, over running with nothing against Ukrainian positions.

        I disagree, especially in support of light, dispersed infantry the T-62 brings almost nothing to the table, they are decidedly obsolete and not worth the weight to lug around.

        That is 40 tons of junk you have to haul around with your logistics.
