Powerful explosions occurred, parts of attachments flew apart, the right track belt was torn. However, as it turned out, the crew, which was a reduced composition, did not receive serious injuries and managed to leave their jobs on their own.
The "Sixty-second" did not catch fire and did not explode, and when evacuated to the rear, it can be quickly returned to service and continue further combat missions.

Domestic equipment has always been highly maintainable. Our tanks, infantry and amphibious combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers and self-propelled artillery units are quickly mastered by crews and, unlike Western models, are ready for intensive operation in harsh combat conditions.
During the modernization of the T-62, the experience of the mine war in Afghanistan was taken into account. So, the bottom received special enhanced protection, a number of improvements were implemented in the department of management. As a result, such tanks saved a large number of lives of fighters in Afghanistan, Syria and, as it is clear now, during a special military operation.
