Description
The T-90 Standard Tank: The First Tank of the New Russia The T-90 tank marked a significant shift in Russian tank design history, following the poor performance of the T-72 in the 1991 Gulf War. In response, the Kremlin opted for a new designation, one that would become the principal export tank of Russia. This book explores the evolution of the T-90, from its development to its current status as a widely exported and used tank. Detailed illustrations and full-color artwork bring to life the T-90's development, including its failed successors such as the Bokser, Molot, and T-95, as well as its likely successor, the T-14 Armata. The book also delves into the range of specialized vehicles based on the T-90 chassis, including the Terminator tank support vehicle.
