Ukraine: UK, Russia using old T-62 tanks

(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, MAY 27 - Russia's Southern Grouping of Forces (SGF) likely remains tasked with occupying southern Ukrainian territory. In recent days, Russia has likely moved 50-year-old T-62 tanks from deep storage into the SGF's area of responsibility, the UK Ministry of Defence said today. The T-62s will almost certainly be particularly vulnerable to anti-tank weapons and their presence on the battlefield highlights Russia's shortage of modern, combat-ready equipment, the Ministry noted.
