#Ukraine: Videos recently appeared showing ancient T-62M & T-62MV tanks being moved from military storage in Rostov Oblast & Crimea, for possible use in UA.
These are stored in the Russian mobilisation reserve- but most were already donated to Tajikistan, LNA (Libya) & Syria.

It is quite possible that these relics will be transferred to LNR/DNR forces, as previously other vintage equipment was delivered to them from Russia, including Grad-1 MLRS and MT-12 AT guns.
But we can't rule out that in the end they will be used by Russian troops.

The T-62 series is inferior to others in UA in many ways- armour, gun, optics/FCS & 4-man crew.
The latter is quite a serious issue, as all other Russian MBT have 3 crew members, but to normally operate a T-62 a loader is required- how many trained crews Russia has is uncertain.
