Points of attention

  • The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully eliminated a Russian T-90S tank in the Peremogy area on the Pokrovsk front.
  • The T-90S is an export version of a Russian tank with an interesting history and build quality issues.
  • Ukrainian troops are actively destroying Russian T-90S tanks in the combat zone, according to an expert assessment.
  • Russia's losses in Ukraine include a significant number of tanks, armoured vehicles and other military equipment.
  • The decisions of the military leadership and the strategy of the Armed Forces led to significant losses of forces and equipment in the Russian occupying forces.

The Armed Forces destroyed another Russian T-90S tank

Military and political commentator Oleksandr Kovalenko recalled that the T-90S is an export version of the tank "with a very interesting history."

They went mainly under contracts to India — T-90S Bhishma, but some of the tanks were not accepted due to poor assembly and other problems/defects. During the export deliveries of such tanks, a large number accumulated, and from November-December 2022, they began to be very actively sent to the combat zone, the expert noted.

According to his information, 1-2 such tanks are destroyed monthly.

According to some verified data, the Russian occupying forces lost 15 of them, according to others — 10... In any case, the trend is very interesting, specifically indicating how many T-90S of the Russian military, namely "Uralvagonzavod", during the month together with all other products can be sent to the battlefront zone, — added the observer.

At the same time, he also reminded that during the full-scale war with Russia, 150 T-90A/AK/S/M tanks were verified to be destroyed, damaged or "trophied", and according to unverified data, this number exceeds 200 units.
