War Spoils To War Assets | Ukraine Turns Captured Russian T-62 Tanks Into Armoured Recovery Vehicles

- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- According to reports on social media, Ukrainians have been converting captured Russian tanks into armored engineering vehicles (ARVs). At least two T-62s have undergone such conversion. Experts believe that Ukrainians recognize the greater value of T-62-based recovery vehicles compared to T-62 tanks. As a larger battle of heavy weaponry like tanks is anticipated, having more ARVs would be beneficial for Ukraine, which entered the current war with too few.

When it comes to initiatives and conversions, Ukraine paves the way forward. Present 1 to 25 tanks, that kinda sums it up, not forgetting those captured too. Well done Ukraine.
Complete bullshit. Why Ukraine lost Solidar, Klescheevka, Krasnaya Gora, Pereskopeevka? Why is Bakhmut surrounded and about to fall? It's because Ukraine is "winning"?
@@atomicdynamo6062Complete BS ? Russia lost Kherson remember after it was captured. With that frontline the size of Texas, its goin to crack...and it wont be Ukraine. It will happen, so Id err on the side of caution until after spring. A few captured villages means FA.
@@krt5524 at least they didnt have to lose tens of thousands of men and just retreated
@@atomicdynamo6062 it took a year to achieve that. And you stilllll dont have Bakhmut. Cope harder lol. Russia is not good at fighting.
@@Cpt.BEARDless Ukraine is the one coping. I'm half Russian and half Ukrainian but not a Russian or Ukrainian citizen. Who told you Russia was looking for a quick victory? Show me Putin or any other Russian official who said that. There was never any such a statement. This is what the West said to try and make Russia look bad. But it failed. Just as all the sanctions failed. Russian economy grew instead of collapsing as Biden and his cronies predicted. They were all wrong. Even the Western press admits this. For such a big war Russia has achieved a lot. It's now controlling 110,000 square kilometers of former Ukrainian territory including cities of Mariuple, Melitopol, Svetlodarsk, Svyatogorsk, Severodonetsk, Lysichansk, Popasnya, Mariinka, Solidar, Krasnaya Gora, Klescheevka, Pereskopeevka, Opytnoe, plus hundreds of villages and settlements. Bakhmut is surrounded and about to fall. You dny it? The western press is lying to everyone about the war. They keep saying Ukraine is winning. Where is this evident? They will soon lose Liman, Izum, Kharkov and Herson too. It's only a matter of time. Russia is not in a hurry. They don't need to advance. For what? People like you don't understand. The goal is not to just grab land. The goal is to destroy Ukrainian military. And Ukrainians are dumb enough to keep bringing troops and equipment TO the Russians for the kill. Great. Russia doesn't need to waste soldiers and equipment resources moving. Ukrainians bring themselves in for slaughter. Get it now?
A very clever re-purpose of old turret launchers.
dem grenade launchers would be repurposed as a bong.
If there is no turret to launch, then there will be no turret launch! 4000000 IQ move
You're damn right that a T-62 would be a good Combat Engineering Vehicle! We used to have CEVs except ours was on an M-60 chassis. The gun was changed out for a 165 mm gun for bunker busting and it was great literally watching rounds go down range! Pair them up with a mine plow, a crane, and MCLICs and they make combat engineering so much easier. And put Bradley's for Engineer troopers, they'll be great! Even M113A3s would be fine. CEVs are vital to ANY Armor/Mechanized unit. Engineers! We Clear The Way!

I believe the m88s recovery vehicles my unit has are based off the m60 chassis as well. Its a great way to give a longer life to an old tank
@@hisredrighthand5212 If Ukraine makes these like their BREM-64 (engine supposedly is really underpowered though, wonder if the T-62 engine will be much better) there will not be a demolition gun on it either. I think the MICLIC is an option on some of the BREM models but I am not sure. It does come with a remotely-controlled 12.7 mm machine gun.
@@hisredrighthand5212 The Bundeswehr never had any specialised equipment to engage fortifications because it was always meant as a defensive force during the cold war. Hold back the Soviets. About the armament...yes, transport helicopters are rarely armed in Germany, I don't know why either. Specially on the ones used for the airborne regiments it would have made a lot of sense.
When it comes to APCs there has been a change since Afghanistan, Boxers usually come equipped with a machine gun atleast, and with the new medium weight forces doctrine recently adopted, there will be tons of boxers with 20/30mm turrets as well.
Wow! Really? Really, really, wow! So what?
In the 2nd Gulf War a Challenger 2 got stuck and threw it's tracks. This is the tank which took dozens of RPG's hits and even a ATGM hit. It was recovered and put back into service the next day..what's amazing is the recovery vehicle was used to bring it to safety..the lads had to try and connect up the vehicles under intense fire and get this..one guy tagged along and was on the recovery vehicle with a GPMG putting down a hail of machine gun fire to try and give the recovery crew some cover..mad lads!! Well worth reading the book TANK by Niall Edworthy who was the commander of that Challenger 2.
“Ukraine understands that a T-62 based recovery vehicle is far more valuable than a T-62 tank.”
Well, that’s kind of a given when said tank is old enough to belong in a museum.
But not as efficient as a John Deer 😂😂😂

and russia is fielding them lots now as they have little else left....
Very useful against civilians but Russia is having trouble comprehending they are fighting NATO equipment now.
The gun is a different caliber than T-64 and anything afterward, 115mm vs 125mm; the electronics are obsolete; sensor systems are obsolete or non-existant; the armor can't withstand modern frontline service... As a gun platform it's woefully obsolete. BUT it's still an armored vehicle. Those will always find use.
When historians look back at this conflict they can say without hesitation the Ukrainian armed forces and the people rose to the challenge and excelled at adaptation and are a inspiration to others Slava Ukrani
Much love bro 🇺🇦
Victory to Ukraine!
Why would they and totally dismiss Yemin and other worldly conflicts blacked out by the world media, or do you believe everything you read. If so, the Russians killed those Polish people in that missile strike you never hear about any more ???????
I'm amazed at how resourceful Ukrainians are. They are very motivated to win. They are so grateful for our help.
They do it like the Germans did it in WW2. The great thing is that they can take away Russian tanks and IFV, s now and fix them for own use. Russia looses a tank, Ukraïne gains one. And rather cheap.
Not so much a tank anymore after being converted into a recovery vehicle. And honestly that's better than a tank in this case. Salvaging whatever tanks you can on the battlefield while making sure the Russians can't recover their own tanks. Even better is the fact that even if the Russians somehow capture these they won't really have a tank anymore. Less tanks Russia has the better.
Blessings, peace and luck from California to Ukraine 🙏✌🍀💛💙

Mechanics 🧰 and engineers are the unsung heroes of a military.
G. I. Joe goes pewpewpew is really just the tip of the iceberg. So much goes in to war and most of them are never mentioned.
If it was easy, we would all be generals 🤪
2:00 "tanks tend to get damaged rather than destroyed"
Me: [watching a compilation of Russian tanks, doing a turret tossing competition] ... "Then the Javelin's, NLAWs, Excalibur rounds, ... Came along".
Underrated comment, reminds me of the avatar intro. All the Russian tanks lived in harmony, until the Javelin nation attacked.
Those turret tossed tanks could be turned into hot tubs for the fighters to relax in away from the Frontline 😹
Tell me you don’t know anything just saying you don’t know anything and the winner of the competition is you!
Very innovative Ukraine.
Its just a copy of VT-55
Great job reporting, CRUX friends! Thanks from us around the world.
Amazing innovations. Go Ukraine!
Another problem with the T62 captures is the main gun uses an odd caliber, 115 mm round that has been out of production for decades.
Personally I'll try & use them up to save on your own assets. Once you're out of ammo for that tank, send it to be converted into ARVs.
@@tristanbackup2536 it's not worth spending the time, fuel and maintenance on it as a tank. It's more useful as support.
The nuts and bolts of war. Recycling tanks to make tank recovery possible. Great use of resources. And the tank recovery vehicles are not going to worry about competing in the "turret toss competition" that Russians are currently winning! Hands down! Best wishes from central California!
Turret toss competition. 🤣
What great Russian assets to have battle tanks Ukraine soldiers will be very pleased what they can do with these Russian gifts. Glory to Ukraine.

Like turning an old VW Beetle into a Dune Buggy! Use that old turret as a static bunker defensive pill-box?
It is plausible, but maybe not. Howitzer of Russian main battle tanks last about 200 rounds. Their engineers had calculated tanks will be destroyed sooner.
Next episode: fixing t-62 turrets to VW Beetle dune buggies
Resourceful!!! Slava Eukraine!, 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪
There are at least two other ways in which these captured vehicles could be repurposed.
1. Equip the T-62 with modern optics and fire control systems or a modern turret. Just to give you an example, the Belgian company "Cockerill" offers a state-of-the-art turret for the German Leopard I, which will eventually arrive in Ukraine. Technically, it would be quite a challenge to install a Western turret into a Russian chassis, but... who knows? Sometimes, engineers can work miracles.
2. Turn the tank into an assault gun. This is a type of tracked vehicle developed by the German army before WWII, when they didn't know whether to concentrate all their tanks in tank divisions or scatter them among infantry divisions in order to increase their mobility and firepower. In the end, they figured out that they could do both things, if they equipped their infantry divisions with a less sophisticated tracked vehicle which didn't mount its gun in a turret, but was simply placed within an enclosed and armored structure attached to the chassis. This vehicle became known as the Sturmgeschutz, and it was very effective not only in supporting the infantry, but also, in engaging enemy tanks. The Sturmgeschutz had a lower profile than a regular tank, meaning it was perfect for conducting ambushes, and since it didn't have a complex and expensive turret, it was cheaper and took less time to build than a tank
Excellent points ,they seem to be trying some of this .
What about FSV? Algerians converted T-62s into FSVs by trading the turret for 30mm Berezhok combat module.
@@bramantyoprahoro7284 Well, I guess it's possible. It depends on what the Ukrainians need, what resources they have and what is technically feasible. They are getting 90 Stryker vehicles anyway, but if they feel like they need more and can carry out this conversion, they should definitely do it.
Ua has been upgrading old tanks with new optics and electronics since before the war. A T62 arv probably just needs a small 12-30mm gun for incidental defense.
Well - why the effort. Something like a StuG wouldn't work these days anymore, there's nothing turretless around for a reason (the swedish S-Tank being the one exeption).
It would make sense somehow to just bolt towed heavy artillery pieces like zhe M777 on the chassis to make them mobile, as kind of an improvised SPG. They stay in the background anyway so no additonal armour needed. That's what i would do with Leopard 1 Chassis too.
Looking forward to seeing Ukraine 🇺🇦 becoming a fully united country again free from all russian interference and russia being completely dissolved and turned into separate smaller countries with no military power whatsoever!
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦!!!!
So much coping, cringe af.
Ukraine doesnt exis anymore, wake up boy😴
@@cryMoreLoLwait what do you mean?
@@TheGreatPhoenix99 it will never happen and this person is chasing clout. The same people that never cared about all the other nations being invaded by the US, now all of sudden are part of this stupid trend.
@@cryMoreLoL Oh here we go more "what aboutismn". Many people here in the west are well aware of Bush's lies to invade and interfere with other nations. Just because he did it does not justify another doing it. Lets face it Sadam did invade a foreign country and a coalition did kick him out. Justified IMHO. Second time around, debatable. Everyone who is not living under a rock is aware of pootins genocidal invasion of Ukraine. For a man who claims to be liberating his own people he sure is killing a lot of them.
I`d like to see a mine clearance version with an attachment on the front and a winch on the back, although difficult as modern anti-tank mines need constant pressure like a track to detonate!🤔
Look at the converted sherman tanks during WWII with a flail attached think there are some in production now
@@bryanbrookes6366 Yes I looked into it, but to stop the flail`s detonating the mine it now requires a constant pressure defeating the flail. So Isreal/US are trying rollers and flail difficult 🤔
russia have a much more efficient mine -clearing system - they just ignore mines and drive forward en masse, and hope for the best!
@@stonem0013 I have seen the videos it's a bit like Stalingrad were the NKVD forced troops to charge the Germans one gun to every 3 men who ever was alive had the gun
I’d like to see mine clearance by putting Putin, Medvedev, and Prigozhin in a mine field and prod them along with long sticks.
Brilliant Progress and long may it Continue........God Bless Ukraine from the UK..xx
I am amazed daily by the cleverness and creative thinking shown by the Ukrainian military! They seem to be very good at taking initiative and thinking "outside the box" in order to continuously improve their situation. Well done!
This is exceptional reporting! Both the content and the presenatation are unbelievably good!! Thank you for all you do!!! And for taking all the risks that gathering this information had to take!! God Bless you and the Brave soldiers and people of Ukraine!!!
You could buy a T-55 or T-62 also BMP and BTR in Russia as civilian...there are 2 guys from Russia have a CZcams channel they bought different military tracked tanks and BTR and wheeled BMPs and make videos riding them all over different terrain.
Soon the Russian military museums will be empty.
Channel name??
@@ackerkartoffel8627 www.youtube.com/@WWII_METAL_DETECTING there three other channels within the link that are also involved in recovering WW2 relics.
@@ackerkartoffel8627 doesn't matter they're probably dead now lol
Seeing as how they were in working condition and had had money spend on maintenance, I am sure they have been sequestered back into the ruzzian army for a few days of 'final' work.
they can clear lanes of a minefields with them.... if they are fitted with ploughs. give them GV as well
I say they would of return the items as lost and found Great people with great heart slava Ukraine
Some serious ingenuity
That was interesting, thanks
Brilliant. More tools to capture tanks with.
The BREM-1 is based on a modified T-72A main battle tank chassis. The turret has been removed and new superstructure fitted. It is fitted with a front-mounted dozer blade, crane, winch and other specialized equipment. This ARV is operated by a crew of three, including commander, driver and handler.
The BREM-1 is fitted with a 4.4 m crane. It has a 19 t capacity at 2 m and 3 t capacity at 4.4 m. It is used to lift damaged or stuck vehicles. Also the crane can be used to lift vehicle for access and repair. It is worth noting that cranes of modern Western ARVs can lift much more. Vehicle can move over level ground with the 3 000 kg of load lifted. However suspension is locked automatically once the load exceeds 3 000 kg. In traveling order the crane folds along the hull.
The main winch has 25 t capacity, that can be increased to 100 t using snatch blocks. The cable is 200 m long. It can be also used for self-recovery. There is also a 530 kg capacity auxiliary winch with 425 m of cable.
This military vehicle also has rigid or non-rigid towing equipment for towing damaged, faulty or uncontrolled tanks. Over prolonged periods the BREM-1 can tow loads with a maximum weight of 50 t. When towing a tank the road range without refueling is reduced to 220 km. Average speed when towing a tank on earth road is 12 km/h.
There is also a 3.1 m wide bulldozer blade. It is used for excavation, rubble clearing operations, covering up ditches. The dozer blade is used as an earth anchor during recovery operations. The BREM-1 can prepare a firing position for the tank in 12-20 minutes, depending on the soil type.
Vehicle is fitted with welding equipment. Also it carries various tools for tank repair and servicing. There is a 1.7 m long and 1.4 m wide cargo platform. It can carry loads up to 1 500 kg. It is used for transportation of spare parts and materials necessary for repairs.
It seems that hull of this ARV has the same level of protection as T-72 main battle tank. Vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems. There is a 12.7-mm machine gun with 840 rounds of ammunition for self-defense.
Vehicle is powered by a V-46 multi-fuel diesel engine, developing 780 hp. With preparation it fords water obstacles up to 5 m deep.
Some countries, such as Poland and Slovakia developed and use their own ARVs on the T-72 tank chassis.
Slava Ukraini! Saving Europe too!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Makes total sense.
You sold me on conversion on the T-62’s😊
"They r so clever, these guys r badass soldiers!! 💪🇺🇦
Well you use what you have in your disposal wether it's old or new.
Ukrainians are very resourceful peeps.Rock on Ukraine
I'm just saying, they could also think about installing BMP-3-like turrets on the way heavier t-62 chassis, or even the t-54/55 chassis they might have in storage, so they could make relatively cheap heavy IFVs, kinda like the BTR-T project which hasn't been completed due to lack of funding...
With that being said, ARVs are absolutely vital in modern warfare.
Actually that's a good idea. Can also put plows on em
Slava Ukraine!!!!!! Ukraine will never fall they have friends all around the world 🌎🌍 and we are in it till the very end!!!!!!
Iniatitive and being resourceful during the time of war can make a big difference...
The rebuilt tank shown, is however not a T-62 but a later type of Soviet tank...
What a remarkable strategy.
SLAVA UKRAINI!!!!!!!This is a good idea.
Well done. Slava ARV - Metal Shop Worker Slava!
The 115mm can either be scrapped with its munitions or recycled into a sort of artillery piece in a sense. Or even be used for defensive purposes. Unlikely as a anti tank gun
They’ll be needing more mine plows and rollers for their tanks in the near future too. They should also consider modifying some of those captured tanks along the lines of the German Jagdpanzer Raketes.
Fantastic work 👏
Radio, radio we need a tow tank to pick up a pristine T-90, roger, roger on the way be there in 20 minutes !!
What an outstanding endeavor! Beautiful idea!
Good job!
Brilliant idea.
This is smart. Those old tank rounds aren't in Ukrainian inventory nor can they be manufactured. Its got a solid if not old engine though
Wonder if you could take those turrets and install them onto MT LBs for indirect fire support.
I would guess it could even have improved armor since it doesn't have the weight of the turret, loader and ammo
Hippity hoppity your tank is now my ARV
Recovery and other logistical and support vehicles are so often overlook!
With a plow on the front, I suspect it will be real busy filling in shell holes , plowing rubble, and bridges after the war
They should also fix a 16tonne excavator upper system including engine and hydraulic in place of the turret , with out the counter balance to reduce weight.
Smart t62 is a great recovery vehicle good move
Smarter good thinking
Crux hows Soledar or Bakhmut doing? No coverage?:D

The Brem 1in video is built on the T72A hull! I was in one a few years ago getting driven around it was a good experience and the Brem 1m also T72A slight differences but yet to see a Ukraine T62 ARV that certainly is not one in the video!
They should install the removed turrets to use as Artillery or defence turrets
Excellent idea for the old t62s. They've captured quite a few of them now and as gun tanks they're pretty useless being so old. Their 115mm gun is known for being terribly inaccurate and the old ammo isn't made anymore.
When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. If these tanks can still operate, converting them to ARV's is an excellent innovation.

The British army used ARVs based on Centurion and Chieftain chassis so not a new idea but definitely a good idea for the Ukrainians to do this when they can expect all these new western tanks arriving.
Necessity is the mother of invention !!!
One of the big advantages of the Sherman over German tanks in WWII was the ease with which it could be repaired.
Props to russia for this free vehicles glory to ukraine from Philippines
Awesome trick!
Nice
Poles, Finns and Ukrainians are tough nuts Russians can't win against real Slavic resistance. I bet the Poles see themselves back in place of the Ukrainians back when they fighting against Russians right now even the Finns too. Truly if you got invaded and occupied by the same enemy like Russia it makes you stronger and learn through experience. If the war is over and Ukraine wins we have another Polish twin in the alliance. Ukraine and Poland will be the back bone of the NATO
'Scuse me, fellas. The appropriate term for the conversion of these vehicles is, "Repurposing". 🤣👍
It would be nice if they could repurpose the turrets
if they have a foundry they can use the steel. it's not good for much else
Fixed defense
Not uncommon to fit an tank turret to a bunker
Smart story, love great ideas!
SMART IDEA
ARV's medical help for the armored machine,who knew.
Two converted tanks will make the difference. Well done.
They could also be repurpossed to fire 155 rounds as a mobile artillery.
Bravo Ukraine on the conversion of T62 tanks into engineering (tank recovery) vehicles. That is a very bright idea.
The T62 ain’t no match for the terminators 🤣🤣🤣
That's is finally some really good news for once on this channel about the Ukrainians ability over the Russians!🤗 Thanks! SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇲🤝🇺🇦🤞❤️🔥😇🪖💪💥✊💯🫡
Il n'y a aucun t-62 dans cette vidéo, à l'exception de celui du musée de char ? Excellent média très pertinent...
Yes
When you consider that T72s have similar HP and torque to an M88 but weigh several tonnes less even with the turret still on they would be decent recovery vehicles minus the turret and adding things like an excavating bucket or a bulldozing blade which themselves would weigh less than the turret
Depends on the terrain,sometimes you need the recovery vehicle to be heavy because you need to have traction.
use the turrets as defense
I like how the song sounds like it belongs in Tiberian Sun.
Cool ! Inventing a use for the junk .
Was the terrible backwards also a problem on the t-62
Its basically the same armoured vehicle, with a different configuration and purpose
Many recovery tanks are a sign, that the battle tanks are very faulty.
If the tanks need recovery vehicles all the time,
one should think, if the usage of the battle tanks actually was usefull from the beginning.
Better put some additional armour on with a huge bulldozer blade, and use it as armoured transport with trailer.
The turret replaced by no turret, but heavy machine gun.
Probably mashed wire to protect from Lancet loitering drones.
Could just haul supplies under heavy artillery fire.
Make sense the auto loaders were a terrible idea
Kool a tracked
Repo Rig !!!
Hook an run crew or not...
Wouldn’t a lack of a supply chain of 115mm munitions be the likely cause of this reconfiguration to ARVs?
Imagine in the near future there will be houses made of tanks.
Ok maybe that's farfetched...
