== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (Object 188M), colloquially known as the '''"Proryv-3 "''' ''('''Прорыв-3;''' Breakthrough-3)'', is one of the new composition of Russian Army in first spotted in 2017 as their latest mass-production MBT in service. The T-90 traces its origins to the Soviet-era [[T-72 (Family)|T-72 tank family]], which was developed during the Cold War as a successor to the T-62 and T-64 tanks. The T-72 was widely exported and saw action in numerous conflicts. The T-90 itself evolved from the T-72 lineage, with the initial models designated T-72BU and later renamed T-90; by 2017, the T-90M was spotted during a public occasion featuring a redesigned, welded turret, advanced FCS, RCWS as well as new powerplant to keep up with the mainstream of MBT development; the redesign also introduced autoloader and ammunition layout revision for better survivability during combat.

Introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]] as the end-of-line Soviet/Russian MBT, T-90M introduced further upgrades to enhance its combat capabilities, namely new powerplant, upgraded turret and FCS, as well as access to new Relikt ERA modules for maximum protection; although the decade-old lack of flexibility on retreat still haunts the vehicle, the overall upgrades on T-90M will certainly enhance the vehicle to the modern standards with lesser need to concern about protection.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.''

'''Notes:''' 


=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}

To further enhance the mobility both for keeping up with the mainstreams of MBT development as well as compensate for the heavier weight, T-90M installed ChTZ V-92S2F engine from T-72B3 mod. 2016 (post-UBH upgrade). While this increased the acceleration of the vehicle, the unchanged transmission inherited from previous Soviet/Russian MBT design also means it retained the notorious -4.2 km/h reverse speed, so always plan the attack route and seek for cover when facing enemy armor column - its reverse speed won't do much especially at openings.

''Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''

== Usage in battles ==


The T-90M should be played somewhat cautiously across Arcade, Realistic and Simulator battles due to its poor mobility and gun depression of -6°. However if played cautiously, the T-90M is an amazing tank having both ample amounts of armor and firepower, which can easily and swiftly take on its two main rivals, being the M1A2 SEPV2 and the Leopard 2A7V.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Improved gunnery systems
** 3BM42 APFSDS round available stock, with a researchable and powerful 3BM60 APFSDS round also available
** Tandem-warhead barrel launched ATGM is available
** Outstanding thermal vision quality
** Excellent gun handling thanks to the new gun laying motors
* Improved protection
** Strong frontal and side protection with Relikt ERA modules
** Presence of spall liner can save crew members
* Laser Warning System (LWS) alerts of incoming laser guided threats
* Revised ammunition layout and water-cooled ammo rack reducing the risk of detonation
* Autoloader provides a consistent reload speed regardless of crew health and skill
* Improved mobility over previous T-72/T-90 series with 1130 hp engine

'''Cons:'''

* Some flaws inherited from previous designs
** Poor gun depression of -6°
** Fatal -4.2 km/h reverse speed when retreat
** Relatively cramped crew and modules
** Fixed, relatively slow 7.1 second reload equivalent to previous T-72 series/PLAGF MBTs
* Lacks any means of APS, unlike T-90A
* High likelihood of gun system damage due to the protection layout
* Only has 3 crew members

== History ==

The T-90M MBT was developed by the Ural Design Bureau of Transport Engineering under the "Breakthrough" modernization program. During this development the T-90 family of tanks received a new welded turret, featuring Relict ERA, an improved engine and a modern fire control system, which includes a panoramic commander sight and multi-channel for the gunner's sight. This modernized variant was presented to the general public in 2017, and since 2019 T-90M tanks have begun to enter service with the Russian Federation's army.

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

* The shells for the howitzer have a high amounts of explosive filler, dealing overpressure damage
* Trajectory can be used to fire on tanks hiding in hull down position

'''Cons:'''

* The long reload time gives enemies an opportunity to exploit the time window to raid your position and destroy your vehicle while you're defenceless
* Two-piece ammunition is stored separately and occupies a lot of internal space, making ammo rack explosions frequent
