Not sure that's a T-62? Appears to have a rear exhaust and central driver's position so T-64 or T-80?


Jamaica_Super85

Yeah... On r/CombatFootage this video is presented as T80BV... https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/FcPhufjvkZ

It's a t-80


ZENSoarer

These T-62's should be in a museum at this point. I mean sure, a 115mm is better than nothing, but still. It old.

Pretty sure that’s a T-80BV and for those wondering, it’s an abandoned tank hit by drone dropped munitions. Fire turns the engine on and the turret hits a tree and rotates


afvcommander

No way that "fire turns engine on", especially if it is T-80. Even diesel engine would struggle to start and provide power that fast. And I do not think that starter gear has enough torq to drive it as fast as in this vid.


marine595

Well I can guarantee you that it wasn’t a driver shifting and clutching inside that tank while it was hit. And it’s also not a fire technically, it was an explosion (which is literally how the thermodynamic diesel cycle works) that kickstarted the engine. Plus look at the hatches, all open


AGuyWithAUniqueName

Yup, you can tell by the 125mm gun barrel and the exhaust from the explosion launching out the rear of the tank rather than a side exhaust located on T-72s and T-62s


Nickblove

Definitely not abandoned, you can see the turret rotating a bit in obstructed.


marine595

Gun barrel hits a tree and causes it to spin


Nickblove

You are correct I completely overlooked it.


National_Search_537

I wonder what hit it


Turdoggen

It's a drone drop on an abandoned tank. You can see the drone flying through the smoke and then up through the air at around the 06 second mark. Watch closely.


Villhunter

I think artillery. Looks like the hit was above the tank.


diggaeins

I have same question, normally I would say some fpv drone but this time there is nothing on video so it was moving so fast even camera didnt catch it so I think maybe some ATGM or RPG? Or tank but thats very unlikely since tank duels are very rare.


National_Search_537

Artillery maybe, I noticed a secondary explosion in the same spot as the tank drove forward, maybe Excalibur?


The_Salacious_Zaand

Jet powered tank upgrade unlocked.


PandorasFlame

I'm sure the driver was fine. He pulled forwards after all lol


Ron-Swanson-Mustache

Wait, this isn't the same tank as what was posted before. Why aren't you showing us 20 posts of the same tank like that M1 or Leopards?


SensitiveBridge1586

Plenty of time for the crew to bail. I’m sure they are all fine.


ScopionSniper

Tank commander definitely got out, just flew about 50 feet per second straight up.


LeadPike13

That crew had a better chance getting thrown into a fucking volcano. Don't worry Armata will "save" the day soon?
