Not to worry. The T-62 is an upgraded T-55. It is armed with a smooth bore 115mm gun so nine of the ammo from T-72/80/90s is useable. Like the tank, all it’s ammo has been in cold storage too, so I doubt it has kept its ginger. Ammo degrades over time. 61 years in storage is a long time.
The other reason tank crews won’t need heat, is they will be destroyed in short order. The 62 doesn’t have the defensive armament it’s successors have and they he’s been proven to be totally ineffective against today’s man pads.
How vulnerable are these old tanks to cheaper older weapons like the RPG and LAWs, or whatever is cheap and plentiful?
