This tank became the 61st T-62M tank lost by the russians in the russian-Ukraie War. In Ukraine, they regret that the crew still managed to escape

The russian occupants "demilitarized" their another T-62M tank, which the invaders also use during combat actions in Ukraine. In particular, a video appeared on the Internet, from which you can see how the occupiers lost their armored vehicle near city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region.

In the footage, the russian T-62M drives straight down the road, on which mines are visible in two rows - and, as some sources claim, the territory could well have been mined by the russian occupiers themselves.

The crew of the vehicle, apparently, saw the threat in the form of mines, but, most likely, it was too late. The video shows that the tank tried to maneuver almost in front of the mines – probably wanted to drive "between the mines", but still caught them.

As a result of such actions, a rather powerful explosion occurred. However, unfortunately, the crew managed to escape. This cannot be said about the tank, which can at least be recorded in the "abandoned" category.

According to data published on the Oryx portal, this T-62M tank became at least the 61st vehicle that the russian occupation army lost since the beginning of the use of these tanks on the battlefield in Ukraine.

One T-62 model of 1967, two more T-62M "model of 2022", 15 T-62 MVs at once, and one T-62MV "model of 2022" can also be added to this list regarding the losses of these tanks.
