Perhaps Putin is pulling T62s out of moth balls because they are cheaper than Javelin missiles and Putin has almost as many T62s as NATO has Javelins.

Literally.

A Russian T72 tank can be had for about $50K - a T62 is less.

A Javelin costs about $175K for the launch system and about $80K for the missile itself.

Russia is ramping up production of it's newest version of the T90 tanks

From what I can see it looks like Russia is using its tanks as artillery pieces. Today I watched video of Russians using drones to pinpoint targets for tanks and artillery. The strikes were very accurate. It's a lot cheaper to use an older tank to take out smaller targets then any kind of missile. I also think drones are playing a huge part in this war. It's a mix of high tech and low tech weapons but it looks like a deadly combination. I hope we are learning from this war.
