They can fire the same ammo, the only exception being the 3BM60 rounds they might have captured from the T-80BVM's, though as they require the modified carousels

They have T-55 in the rank with rifled 100mm...pretty sure that you cannot fire 125mm ammo of T-64 in it... or the slovak ones have upgraded 125mm guns ? Some T-55 got nice gun upgrades, don't know for them.
T-62 have strange ammo need.
The Slovenian T-55 have a 105mm L7, in theory they should be able to fire the same ammo than the Leopard 1 since it is the same gun.
The T-62's they might have captured might be out of luck, though Belgium did produce ammo for the gun at some point
Ukraine had a T-55 with 125mm for export too. The number of upgrades on these old horse is impressive.
If they can make brigade with same type of mbt it will help logistics and training, the problem is having enough of the same to achieve it.
Having Slovak T-55 with leo 1 in the same unit for ammo logistic reasons would be funny ! Tanks meant to be enemy.
Excellent questions which I'm unable to answer.
After successfully weaponizing weather on many occasions, beavers, food, energy and necromancy etc Russia is now weaponizing blankets Literally, called the "counter thermal blanket".
These anti thermal blankets/coats are used by Russian soldiers, primarily small groups or sniper teams to avoid detection by thermal cameras and UAV's.
Few months old news but there is an anti drone device in use by Russian's labeled as "Python, Harpoon or Strizh / 3" with automatic detection and suppression mod, causing extra problems for the opponent.

A little bit more detail on the mess that was the defection plan the Ukranians and Bellingcat came up with. Bellingcat guy described it as a win just because they managed to get pictures of the cockpits of the Russian planes, despite the fact an airbase got destroyed.
