This new version of T-90 seems very similar to the T-90MS, the latest export version of the T-90 main battle tank. However, there are slight differences in external layout of the vehicle, the turret seems to use the same armour but the lower part is fitted with a wired cage armour on 360°.
As all the family of T-90 main battle tanks, this T-90M has a crew of three and a combat weight of 50 tons. It has a two-man turret with automatic loading system armed with 125 mm cannon. A very interesting feature, all the Russian combat vehicles have a wood log mounted at the rear of the chassis to get the tank out of muddy terrain, but for this new version of T-90, the wood log is fitted on the right side of the hull. As the T-90MS, a remote weapon system is mounted on the right side on the top of the turret which is armed with a 7.62mm machine gun. |
