What is known about the T-90m Tanks "Breakthroughs" that were noticed at the border with Russia

Russia has no capacity for mass production of tanks T-90m "Breakthrough". And it's not just about sanctions. The factories do not have the necessary spare parts. Contrary to the sanctions "Uralvagonzavod" continues to produce the main combat tank of the Russian army T-90m "Breakthrough". But their quality and quantity have decreased significantly. The military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko told this in a comment to the focus. "There were several hundred T-90a tanks that can be upgraded.

The same" Uralvagonzavod "modernizes T-72 to T-90. But this process is not serial, no more artificial. Russia has no capacity for mass production of tanks, and and It is not only the sanctions and absence of access of circuits-there are no staff and frames required in the factories. For example, instead of sights of "pine-y", they switched to the old samples of 1PN96, but complexes of dynamic protection 4C23 "relict" change on 4C 20 "Contact -1, "he says focus.

The Russian T-90m Tank" Breakthrough "is the latest and most modern main battle tank in the Russian army. He became a replacement -90m "Breakthrough" began in the early 2010s, and within seven years the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation concluded a contract for the supply of these tanks to the troops. It should be noted that the T-90m is not the latest development -72. However, a new car has received a new shape tower, a new gun charging machine.

Modern onboard electronics and dynamic protection complexes were the greatest pride of the T-90M. Then cooperation with the French company Thales allowed to equip the target complexes with modern thermal imaging matrices. Such appeared, in particular in the sights of "pine-y". Together with electronic utensils, the tank received a B-84MC engine, which is another modernization of the old B-2 engine, which was put on T-34 tanks. It is constantly forced to raise power.

The tank is equipped with 125 mm with a smooth-bore gun 2A46M-5, the ammunition is 40 shells, 22 of which are directly in the charging machine. All these marketing updates have been called the "Breakthrough" T-90m traditionally for Russia-the "best tank in the world". In total, about one hundred units were produced. It produces these tanks in Russia the Uralvagonzavod plant in Lower Tagil.
