Russian Army To Get Upgraded T-90 MBT By 2018 by justFEARLESS(m): 1:06pm On Sep 11, 2017
Uralvagonzanoid(UVZ), manufacturer of Russia's lethal main battle tank, the T-90 has displayed the latest upgraded version of the tank in a demonstration of newest armoured vehicles in honor of the tanker's day on the territory of the 33rd combined-arms training range.

The new version with the designation T-90m was developed due to some combat weakness noticed in the older versions which is one of the frontline tank of the Russian army.

The T-90 is one of the Russian tanks currently in service with Russian allies in the Syrian conflict and this gave Russia the opportunity to access the tank's performances in actual combat and this ultimately led to the identification of some areas of improvement.

The new version of the T-90 will feature most of the revolutionary technologies on the T-14 Armata with advanced armor (slat armor), Afghanit active protection system and Malachite reactive armor.

it will also come with a new fully-stabilized and longer 2A46M-4 125mm smoothbore gun which apart from firing projectiles, can also launch anti-tank guided missiles, the same type used on the Armata and a new fire control system which is characterized by high levels of accuracy, rate of fire and has an increased barrel life-about 900 shots.

Its secondary armament includes; the coaxial PKT 7.62mm machine gun and a roof mounted remotely-controlled NSVT 12.7mm machine gun with capabilities to attack ground and air targets.

The new Tank will also come with an upgraded 1,000hp engine, and will have a range of 500km with a maximum speed of 60km/h and will be operated by 3 crew.

most of the T-90M will be remanufactured from Russia’s existing fleet of T-90As—and this will half the cost of producing it and will also make it far less costly than the fearsome, but expensive, Armata.

The new tank will be supplied to the Russia army in 2018.
