| #1 The T-90 M is a significant upgrade of the Soviet-era T-72 tanks and has been equipped with a more powerful 1,300-hp engine which delivers top off-road speeds of 28 mph (45 kph). The tank has a long-range panoramic sight with an additional thermal imaging channel. The multi-channel views make the gun suitable for operation at any time of the day. Additionally, it also deploys the Kalina automatic target tracker system that allows the gunner to lock onto the target and fire on the move. The tank features additional steel plates called RELIKT, laser-warning systems, and smoke canisters for its own survivability. Specific protections are also in place against rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) in the form of nets on the lower side of the turret and in the rear. The T-90M also features a special coating of thermal insulation material, dubbed Nakida, that significantly reduces the visibility of the tank in the radio thermal range band, protecting it from high-precision weapons. According to estimates, the Russian Army has only about 100 T-90M tanks in service as the initial production batch had joined the ranks in early 2020. |
