This is a Russian soldier who was in Kherson, he goes by the callsign "13th". His telegram channel is worth reading. The Google translations aren't perfect, but you get the meaning.

Thirteenth.
As for the tanks.
A video surfaced on the Internet, where a train of ancient T-55s was walking, bureaucrats and sofa experts instantly began to come up with an excuse that this was equipment for checkpoints ... or to take spare parts from it. What the hell are roadblocks? This is not Chechnya, the Chechen fighters did not have such an army and weapons.
What is going on?
T-55, T-62.....
"Deep modernization"?
The presence of a simple thermal imaging sight and "contact-1" does not make a modern car out of a tank of the sixties and seventies.
Where is the fire control system, where is the panoramic sight of the tank commander, where is the modern cannon and modern shells, where is the least bit adequate armor, where is the normal walkie-talkie and communications equipment, where is the powerful engine, but ... All this is not there. There are old worn-out tanks from conservation, that's all. Fight as you wish.
With the same success, you can put a Chinese tepak on a muzzle-loading gun of the 18-19th century, give analog baofengs to the calculation and say that this is for checkpoints and for the third line, and in general is almost in no way inferior to modern Western models. Fucked up.
Then another video on Russia24 will show how “our brave mobilized nightmares strengthened the Ukronazis from a unicorn of the 1804 model that was modernized at Uralvagonzavod”
