  1. You really lost me with the notion that a solitary tank would be any problem for Ukrainian special forces teams. RPG-7 -- Poof -- problem gone. T-62s ONLY work to intimidate civilians - who lack ATGMs. Obviously. The better speculation is that Putin is putting true old-guys back in the ranks -- and these are the fellows who will be manning check points. Providing them with the tank they knew when they were active twenty-years ago makes perfect sense. BTW, the key weapon in your scenario is the heavy machine gun. The T-62 machine gun is drastically better for check points than that of later machines.

  2. At 6:30 you don't seem to comprehend that the ground is 20cm above the water table. No-one can dig a trench -- instead -- a full bathtub. There can be no serious fighting in such ground. It also means that the RA can't use a mechanized assault over such ground. Every last machine would sink down onto its belly. Whatever does happen will be infantry versus infantry -- and there won't be much of that. The Ukrainians will blow every last crossing -- making this line of advance futile for the RA. You left unsaid what was really important about Lyman: it was THE classification yard for the Ukrainian railroad network covering the Donbass. Lyman was, and remains, a railroad town. Trains were its business. Every classification yard ever built comes complete with locomotive shops, car repair shops, everything you'd need to run a railroad. In YT posts, no-one understands what a classification yard is. It's where trains are made up and broken up. Its NOT a railroad 'station.' Passengers and freight are never unloaded in a classification yard. In the entire network/ nation there will only be a few classification yards. You should expect at most two others in Ukraine's entire network. A classification yard is a HUGE strategic prize -- yet posters remain clueless about Lyman. Google 'Union Pacific Classification Yard' for a 15m YT video on America's largest such yard. Perhaps then you'll comprehend what a Big Deal Lyman is. It's surely going to THE rail head for the RA for future operations. Duh.
