On the Ukrainian battlefield, tanks are no longer used for mass assaults due to the serious threat posed by drones, and even the direct fire from small numbers of tanks has significantly decreased. Russian tanks are now often used as indirect fire support platforms. For example, the T-62 tank is basically used by the Russians as an self-propelled gun on the front lines, providing indirect fire support.
However, the 115mm main gun of the T-62 tank was designed primarily for direct fire, with a maximum elevation angle of only 16 degrees. When firing indirectly, the maximum range does not exceed 9.5 kilometers. Therefore, the Russians have made simple iron frames, allowing the front tracks of the T-62 tank to be placed on the iron frame, which significantly increases the elevation angle. When firing indirectly, the maximum range can reach 12 kilometers.
Therefore, weapons are lifeless, but people are alive. By using human ingenuity, you can make the weapon do all sorts of things.
