Meng Model 1:35 MMTS-006 Russian T-90A Russian Main Battle Tank

The T-90 is Russia's main battle tank, considered the 3rd generation of modern times. The first prototypes of this vehicle were produced at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, and production of the vehicle began in 1993. In its basic version (T-90), the tank's combat weight reaches 46 tons. Propulsion is provided by a single diesel engine W-84MS with 840 hp. The primary armament is a 125 mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, while the secondary armament consists of a 7.62 mm PKMT machine gun and a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun. In 2016, the unit price of the T-90MS was estimated at approximately USD 4.6 million.

T-90 tanks are actually a far-reaching modernization of the T-72B, also using many components from the T-80U. Initially, during the Soviet era, it was assumed that the T-90 (originally designated as the T-72BU) would replace the T-64, T-72, and T-80 vehicles, resulting in the unification and consolidation of armored weaponry in the Soviet Army. Currently, together with the T-14 Armata, it is the most modern tank in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Undoubtedly, the latest versions of this vehicle (T-90M and T-90MS) are modern combat machines, which, however, may be inferior to Western models, especially in the areas of electronics or armor. It should be noted that this type of vehicle has been used in battles, among others, during the civil war in Syria since 2011 and during the fighting in Donbas (since 2014).
