Early Access: T-62 sent to Ukraine? Fake News or not? (Patreon)

Russia sent T-62s to Ukraine - Fake News or correct?

Recently there have been reports and footage that indicate that the Russian Armed Forces sent T-62 tanks, a tank that entered service 1962 so about 60 years ago, to Ukraine. As always, I am a bit hesitant, since photos and videos showing a few tanks being transported on a train don’t mean much, since that is not particularly uncommon. As such some people claimed that this is actually old footage from T-62s supposedly sent to Syria in 2018 or transported to a large-scale maneuver. And indeed, when I did a bit of digging, I found various photos from 2018 that had certain similarities to the tanks shown currently.
