The Russian T-90M "Proryv" tank surpasses its Western competitors due to its maneuverability and compactness. This was stated by retired Colonel, tank forces veteran Sergei Suvorov.
The military man recalled that the crew of all Russian tanks consists of three people — the commander, gunner, and driver. A loader is not needed, therefore, domestic armored vehicles are more compact and lighter than Western ones.
The weight of the T-90 is 48 tons against more than 60 for the American Abrams. In total, this makes domestic tanks more maneuverable and passable in conditions of impassability.
Maintaining high mobility of a combat vehicle, in particular tanks, in conditions of impassability, in other difficult terrain and soil conditions depends on many indicators and factors. Not only on mass, but also on the design of the chassis itself, the design of the tracks.
The higher and more noticeable the armored vehicle, the easier it is to hit. In addition, the weight of German, American, or British equipment plays a cruel joke on it in black soil conditions. Foreign tanks designed for urban combat also get stuck in the mud.
Almost all Western tanks that are supplied from manufacturing plants already have so-called asphalt runners installed on the tracks. On the contrary, they reduce mobility precisely on mud, precisely in conditions of waterlogged soils.
