It will be destroyed just like every other AFV has been destroyed so far. There is NO defence/defense against a missile coming straight down through your roof.

Russia is so desperate for armor, they are pulling old Cold War T62 tanks and sending them to Ukraine

but remember, the Soviets lost 1500 tanks during the Battle for Kursk and didn't care
they will attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses with numbers of T62 tanks and not care about loses

Can't help but wonder if they kept up on maintenance while those tanks sat in storage

I'm betting they didn't, but I guess time will tell

Yeah, "managed to roll off the lot" isn't a very high bar

starvation in Africa due to Ukraine war

I find it unfathomable that Putin says the food storage is Ukraine's fault because they won't give up their country, let Russia pillage their produce and sell it to Africa
Russia is already stealing Ukrainian grain and steel products from the Eastern Provence's and shipping it to Syria for resale
and they don't even deny it - like some alien invaders, destroying the land and culture and stealing the resources of the country
even power - Russian engineers are re wiring the largest Nuclear plant in Ukraine to send it's power production to Russia

"Russian troops are occupying the sprawling Zaporizhzhia plant by the Dnieper River in southern Ukraine.
It is Europe's biggest nuclear plant. The Ukrainian staff are still operating it, but Russia has sent its own nuclear experts to monitor their work.
Russia's deputy prime minister has vowed to sell power from it to Ukraine.
Marat Khusnullin said Russia would integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant with Russia's energy system if Kyiv refused to pay for the plant's electricity.
Visiting Russian-occupied southern Ukraine on Wednesday he said "if the Ukrainian energy system is ready to receive [electricity] and pay for it, then we'll work, but if not - then the plant will work for Russia".

OK, a Russian general was riding in a tank this last weekend
for some reason he used an unencrypted cell phone to give out orders
the Ukrainians triangulated in on his cell phone and used American provided artillery to kill him, his tanks and 170 other Russian soldiers

on Friday of last week, a Chechenian unit believed Russia's propaganda and drove into an area still controlled by Ukraine
the Ukrainians called in long tube Artillery and killed a senior Chechenian officer and quite a number of Russian provided tanks

the Russians are running low on experienced field grade officers with armor experience
