Presence of these means that it's just faster to upgrade stockpiles of old chassis to have numbers than build new ones.
The War in the Ukraine

- Start date
Assuming it is true it also means the Russians have so much spare production of Relikt ERA that they can expend it in T-62s.
A huge once per century storm developed in the Black Sea:
Russian coast got hit hard at first:
However the storm is moving up north and is also affecting Ukraine controlled areas, starting with Odessa:

Will this clear the naval mines and shove them on the shores?
In most cases no - the two most commonly used type of navel mines (moored and bottom mines) rest below the sea surface and are less susceptible to storm waves. Drifting contact mines that free float(or are easily washed away) pose a threat to both the attacker and defender and generally haven't been used since WWII.
Those mines will scatter in wider area
It will certainly mess up with fortifications and mines on beaches. Large radar stations antenna could be messed up too with the strong winds. I would be cautious on the BlackSea for drifting mines, they got some without that kind of storm.
