  1. What partisans? There are none to be seen. The main opponent is Ukrainian national guard that has no tanks and few javelins in light infantry role. Solution to defend against these guys for out numbered DPR forces was to simply add tank company to each BTG. How would UA light infantry attack enemy infantry supported by artillery and tanks????

  2. Umm, no. 105mm gun is not as good as 115mm gun on T-62. Its a step up - first gun with a smooth bore! This allowed for 1) bigger projectile 2) higher muzzle speed So if you had same tech available to you, the 115mm smoothbore always wins vs. 105mm rifled gun. Physics is simply in the way.

  3. Why, US sent aid to countries that was old. Why Russia cannot send its old stuff as aid? Why is it when Russia does it, its desperation, when US does it, its "good".

  4. LOL, no, are you kidding me? I would say latest M-60 maybe was even with T-62. I still would think with equal crew T-62 was more lethal. It had way better gun. Way.

  5. But its not happening at all like you say.

  6. Frontally would resist even from point blank range. Side turret would resist even from point blank range. Turret rear would resist from say 500m or more. May penetrate point blank range. Hull side 30mm would penetrate from point blank range, maybe at 500m Overall, very well protected from APCs and IFVs with auto cannot around 30mm.

  7. Oh plenty - note 20 or so countries still using it. So need ammo for it. Lots of ammo. Also recently given as aid - so clearly ammo is available.

  8. Not really, T-62M is far better tank in defensive role then Leo 1 in offensive role. The ammo from Leo 1 can "maybe" penetrate T-62M while paper thin armor of Leo 1 is in danger of being smoked by an APC with 30mm auto cannon even from around 1000m. Of course Ukraine is out of tanks, they take anything, not that it will mean they will not loose the war.

  9. I wonder if there are still any T-55s in storage. They have plenty of T-72s still and losses are now very low. So no issues for Russia.

  10. Depends which versions of M60. Last version I would call them even. (T-62M).

  11. T-62M does not have advanced sensors - like thermals. It does not have laser warning receiver or simialr tech AFAIK.

  12.  @EpicThe112  HESH is ineffective against modern armor or even T-62M brow armor. Syrians had original T-62s which were more or less T-55s with a bit more armor. Hesh also needs energy to inflict damage - so no, at 5km, if they manage to hit anything, a HESH round in 105mm will not have a lot of energy left. HESH is obsolete type against T-72s or T-80s or T-90s as they have modular armor that have zero chance of hurting anyone inside more then high explosive shells does. This is main reason British tanks were obsolete for modern war.
