“The main difference of the newest subtype of the T-90A tank is the optical electronic system for enemy fire suppression,” Ural construction bureau general director Vladimir Domnin said
According to Domnin, the tank is not just equal to the best tanks from other countries in military and technical features, but is even superior to them in many other aspects
Putin was shown how T-90 tanks are assembled. Domnin told the prime minister that Uralvagonzavod works in cooperation with Belarus and other Russian federal subjects
T-90s are not only utilized in the Russian Armed Forces service, but are also supplied on foreign markets. According to Domnin, the production plant has already supplied around 850 tanks to other countries, including India
