Military leaders and senior government officials of Russia highly appreciate armored vehicles, which have been repeatedly modernized over the past 3 years. This is written by The Military Watch Magazine.
Western journalists drew attention to the statement of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Andrei Mordvichev.
Modern models of armored vehicles, such as the T-90M, BMP-2M with the Berezhok combat module, BMP-3 and BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, demonstrate high efficiency.
The military leader also singled out the Typhoon-K, Asteys, and Ural-VPC armored vehicles.
The Military Watch Magazine recalled that Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, had previously spoken about the combat power of the T-90M tank.
Commanders, returning from the front and ordering equipment, asked for help in obtaining the T-90M. These are very good tanks.
The politician called the T-90M the best tank in the world, which in terms of tactical and technical characteristics surpasses foreign Leopard, Challeger, Abrams. Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the T-90M after learning that the tank, after being blown up by a landmine, continued to carry out its combat mission.
What is the secret to the success of the T-90M?
Analysts at The Military Watch Magazine stated that the T-90M in its basic configuration features durable armor. And the Relikt dynamic protection only enhances its protection.
The tank's firepower has also increased significantly compared to its predecessors: the new autoloader and gun allow the use of longer armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot projectiles with much greater armor penetration.
The combat vehicle has high survivability. In addition, the T-90M is easier to operate and maintain than Western tanks.
However, cheap "disposable drones" (kamikaze drones) are still considered a serious threat to the T-90M, The Military Watch Magazine concluded.
