Russia modernizing T-62M tanks with North Korean spare parts for use against Ukraine

Russia is upgrading one of its main battle tanks, the T-62M, for combat operations against Ukraine, with new footage on social media showing an uptick in the quantity of these tanks being brought towards the frontline.

As picked up by Defence 24, the last two to three months have been characterized by a higher number of videos showing refurbished and modernized Russian T-62M tanks being transported by rail towards the front.

The news outlet states that some of the footage is likely the same transport captured in different regions, but several of them are materials concerning different machines. The first of the discussed footage comes from early July and shows refurbished T-62Ms with added Kontakt-1 reactive armor blocks on the front of the hull and sides and rear of the turret.
