Russia Produce T-90S MBT New Features

The T-90S main battle tank is a deeply modernised variant of the legendary T-72 MBT family embodying latest achievements in tank-building, yet having undergone no profound changes in configuration. Thanks to a number of hi-tech design features, the tank has acquired advanced combat and operational capabilities.

In November 2007, it has been estimated that the Russian Army has around 200 T-90 tanks. In August 2007, Thales was awarded a contract to supply 100 of these with the Catherine FC thermal imager. In March 2006, Algeria signed a contract for the supply of 180 T-90S tanks from Uralvagonzavod, to be delivered by 2011. Of the total, 102 tanks were in service with the Algerian Army by 2008.
