The T-90M "Proryv" tanks, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously praised as "the best tanks in the world," are reportedly becoming more powerful with each new batch. Equipped with advanced features such as electronic warfare systems designed to counter drones and technologies aimed at reducing the vehicle's visibility, these tanks represent a significant technological leap for Russia’s armored forces. Despite their high-tech upgrades, the tanks are said to maintain the traditional ease of use, allowing soldiers to quickly learn and operate them even under the most challenging conditions.
The T-90M "Proryv" is an upgraded version of Russia’s T-90 series, boasting a range of advanced technical features that make it one of the most formidable tanks in the world. Its powerful 125mm 2A46M-4 smoothbore gun allows it to fire a variety of ammunition, including guided missiles, giving it superior firepower and versatility on the battlefield. Its advanced fire control system with thermal imaging also ensures accurate targeting in both day and night conditions.
One of the key features that sets the T-90M apart is its enhanced protection. It is equipped with Relikt explosive reactive armor (ERA) and additional passive armor layers, providing robust defense against anti-tank missiles and other modern threats. The tank is also fitted with a cutting-edge electronic warfare system that counters drones and reduces its radar visibility, making it harder to detect and target. These defensive capabilities make the T-90M highly survivable in modern combat environments.
Uralvagonzavod emphasized that its tanks are built with high maintainability in mind, a feature that has earned the factory’s workers the gratitude of Russian servicemen. As the production facility in Nizhny Tagil operates around the clock, the number of T-90M tanks reaching the front continues to increase, a testament to the company’s ability to meet the high demands of the ongoing conflict.
"The strategies developed at Uralvagonzavod allow for a prompt response to any increase in production plans, ensuring timely and high-quality fulfillment of the state defense order," a company spokesperson said. This rapid response to production challenges underscores the resilience and efficiency of the tank manufacturer, which has remained one of Russia’s key military suppliers.
Looking forward, Uralvagonzavod workers have been assigned new tasks aimed at further improving the T-90M Proryv, with additional innovations and enhanced combat capabilities planned for future iterations. These updates are expected to make the tanks even more formidable on the battlefield, bolstering Russia’s efforts in the Ukraine conflict.
The T-90M "Proryv" is part of a broader modernization effort by the Russian military, as it seeks to adapt to modern warfare’s evolving challenges, especially in the face of advanced drone technology and electronic warfare tactics employed by Ukraine.
The new deliveries come at a critical time, as both sides continue to rely on heavy armor in their military strategies, with tank warfare playing a pivotal role in the Russian - Ukrainian conflict.
