So far, it is known that only 12 of these Russian battle tanks have been destroyed, captured or damaged so far.

It is considered the most modern combat platform for the Russian Armed Forces. It is an in-depth modernization of the main battle tank T-90.

A newer turret is installed on the T-90M, which differs from the standard model installed on the T-90 tank. It has a much more powerful engine built into it.

The T-90M tank is significantly ahead of its T-90 predecessor in its combat effectiveness, while retaining the advantages of the previous model.

The contract for the supply of these tanks was signed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the military equipment manufacturer “Uralvagonzavod Scientific and Production Corporation” on August 24, 2017.
