The T-90M Proryv "seems impressive, but Russian tanks always look good until they are actually used in combat," according to military technology and defense expert Michael Peck. Ukraine's military has also shared footage of captured T-90M tanks, including in the eastern Kharkiv and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Earlier this week, footage of a Ukrainian brigade destroying a T-90M was shared by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Internal Affairs Ministry. T-90M tanks were recently used near Lyman, in the eastern Donetsk region, state media reported on March 16.ĭutch open source outlet Oryx has visually confirmed that Russia has lost 15 T-90M tanks, as of Tuesday morning. The first such tank entered service in 2020.
On January 12, 2023, Russian state media reported that Russian tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod, had "delivered a new batch of upgraded T-90M Proryv main battle tanks to Russian troops." They have been used against Ukrainian fighters "on the front line," Russia's Defense Ministry said in late February. The tank is a "competitor" for the M1 Abrams tank.
