T-62 M or M1
Posted by Jose G. Ruiz on Saturday, June 9, 2012 5:29 AM
Good morning.

First of all apologize for my terrible English and greet people on the forum, since it is the first time participating.

My questions has to do with the T-62 M or M1 (MIG Productions kit´s) with antiradiation armor was used by the Soviet Army during the occupation of Afghanistan. And if the answer is yes, find out which scheme was painted.

I also would be helpful to find a real photo of the tank on the ground.

Could carry additional protections made with ​​bars? ...... Which are similar to the SLAT armor.


And if the answer also is yes, ask if these protections were improvised and placed in the units or kits that was prefabricated and ready to install.


Thanks for everything. By the way, I can not forget to congratulate you for your great work.
 
 
Best Regards.

I did a quick search on google for soviet t-62 in Afghanistan. It only turned up one photo of a T-62M from the 5th Guards MRD, but it's a black and white. The tank looks like it's in three colors, just guessing I'd say green and sand blotches with brown stripes. There were some photos of Afghan army T-62's taken in 2005 that appeared to have a similar camo scheme. I saw no evidence of slat type armor, but there were very few photos to judge from.
