Description
 
To fur the rimprove the T-72's export prospects and its chances of being selected asRussia's soleproduction MBT, the T-80U's more sophisticated fire control system was alsoadded to produce a vehicle designated T-72BU. The T-90 was developed by the Kartsev-Venediktov Design Bureau at the Uralvagon zavod factory in Nizhny Tagil. The production model is based on the T-72BM, with some added features from the T-80 series. The T-90 with an 840 hp (630 kW) engine wentinto low-level production in 1993, based on a prototype designated T-88.It features a new generation of Kon takt-5 explosive reactive armor on its hulland turret. Of convention al layout, the T-90 represents a major upgrade toevery system in the T-72, including themain gun. The T-90S have beenidentified as export model. Thereferences to a T-90E appear to beunsubstantiated. The T-90 is fitted with a "three-tiered" protection system: the first tier is the composite armor in the turret, second tier isthird generation Kon takt-5 ERA and third tier is a Shtora-1 countermeasuressuite.
