The T-90 ("Vladimir") main battle tank T90, the
most modern tank in the Russian army arsenal, went into
low-level production in 1993, based on a prototype
designated as the T-88. The T-90 was developed by the
Kartsev-Venediktov Design Bureau at the Vagonka Works in
Nizhny Tagil. Initially seen as an entirely new design,
the production model is in fact based on the T-72BM, with
some added features from the T-80 series. The T-90
features a new generation of armor on its hull and
turret. Two variants, the T90 S and T90 E, have been
identified as possible export models.

Plans called for all
earlier models to be replaced with T-90s by the end of
1997, subject to funding availability. By mid-1996 some
107 T-90s had gone into service in the Far Eastern
Military District.
India bought 310 T-90S tanks, and has started
manufacturing locally with the aim of producing over
1,000 tanks.
