These T62 aren't used in direct action, but rather fire support.
When used in direct action, the T62 are mostly used as "turtelized" path-clearing units and FPV magnets.
Ammo from DPRK and Iran were, for the former, mostly for evaluation purposes (same goes for DPRK vehicles) and for the latter, providing a sufficient amount of Shahed drones until homemade production could start and manufacture them in sufficient numbers for deployment.
Since the war in Ukraine started, Russia has never been running out of anything.
You know what else does excellent "fire suport"? Oh yeah - a modern tank AND you can also use it for tanky things. T-62's are a sign of desperation. Likewise the almost complete draining of the old Soviet arms depots to the point where all that's left are the rusty hulks where even free labour can't make them cost effective to restore.
If Russia wasn't running out of everything "modern" then every formation would have it's full TOE of equipment, the skies would be under complete Russian air superiority, tactical missile strikes would have destroyed every Ukrainian command bunker, airfield, supply depot and chicken shed.
Please pull the other one Ivan, it has bells on.
