Description
 
To further improve the T-72's export prospects and its chances of beingselected as Russia'ssole production MBT, the T-80U'smore sophisticated fire control system was also added to produce a vehicledesignated T-72BU. The T-90 was developed by the Kartsev-Venediktov DesignBureau at the Uralvagon zavod factory in Nizhny Tagil. The production model isbased 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 featured a new generation ofKon takt-5 explosive reactive armor on its hull and turret. Of convention al layout, the T-90 represents a major upgrade of every system in the T-72,including themain gun. The T-90Shas been identified as an 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.
