how do you compare this with the Abrams?

chkil1:
it's a hudge undless debate , and you must take into account the doctrine of use, the doctrine of russian tanks is not the same as that of the West . here some simple points

- the T90 :
- is lighter and more mobile
- has a small profile when targeted
- has composite + modular era combination armors , Konktak-5, last Relikt (more versatile, easy to replace if only era is damaged) , on abrams it's very difficult to replace damaged armour
- has Active Protection Systems , Shtora and Arena , laser warning systems (abrams hasn't)
- has a diesel engine is easy to maintain and consumes less fuel , abrams have a fragile gas turbine burning JP-8 engine, consumes a lot .
- has an autoloader for ammunitions ,and need only 3 crews , the abrams need 4 and the ammunition loader crew of the M1A2 would fatigue in combat, and eventually drop rate of fire or make mistakes when it shake during operations .
- has a longer higher caliber gun the 2A46M-5 125mm with 6000 mm long with better chamber pressure , abrams have the M256M1 120mm with 5280mm long. but the T90 gun have a shorter service life .
- the T90 can fire Anti Tank Guided Missiles such as 9M119 but need to be in stationary position to launch it , (the abrams can't )
- ammunition storage on t90 is more dangerous , under the feet of crews
- and the cost : T 90 is cheaper than Abrams ( close to the half of the abrams price)

the abrams
- has a thicker armor specially with last depleted uranium slabs on it’s front turret.
- has better electronics , ergonomic , touch screen systems but are more complex and difficult to fix when they break down
- separated ammunition compartment, much safer for the crew
- some will tell you has a significantly superior gun , better stabilization ( i disagree ) ,
- optronics are better .
- US contract control terms , CISMOA statu ect... over use is a negative point .


for my own opinion , for nigerian army T90S , MS is better for its needs
