Russia strengthens protection of T-90M tanks from FPV drones and kamikaze UAVs


The Russian army began making new changes to the T-90M tanks, especially to the armor design. Turkish sources report this. It is emphasized that the best tank of the Russian Federation has proven its resistance to numerous anti-tank mines, ATGMs and various anti-tank missiles with extremely low losses in battle.


However, as we know, there is no limit to perfection. Therefore, Russian designers have already made several significant changes to the 90 version of the T-2024M tank. We are primarily talking about placing new protection on the turrets of combat vehicles.

It must protect the tank and crew from attacks from FPV drones and kamikaze UAVs, as well as from missiles or ammunition coming from above. New coating and mesh are being installed on and around the turret to prevent internal shrapnel damage.

Another change affected the frontal armor. It is enhanced by a new type of dynamic protection, which is very thick. It is noted that it was made taking into account the experience of war in order to be able to take part in direct massive armored attacks.

Turkish sources note that the design of the armor around the tank has undergone major improvements. A large number of innovations are also in the fire control system, thermal imaging cameras, night vision cameras, rangefinder, aiming systems and various suspension and engine parts.

This new T-90M model is being prepared for a major operation and a recently produced batch of 36 vehicles was delivered to the Russian Army

– Turkish sources note.

Let us add that the Russian T-90M tank has already proven its effectiveness in the air defense zone. In many respects it is significantly superior to Western combat vehicles.

    I wonder if the latest modifications of Western vehicles appeared in Ukraine and if there were oncoming tank battles, then what would happen, what would they write? So far there have been only a few tank battles, and the tanks were mostly on the defensive.

      I must say a big thank you to Bide and the entire West for starting gradually, across the border. Russia has time to prepare for a direct clash with NATO, to prepare counteraction to new products, gradually. It is not a fact that the nuclear Apocalypse will not end with conventional weapons.

        Do you see the preparation process somewhere?

    it is very good that tanks are developing their protection, but the same protection is EXTREMELY AND URGENTLY needed for nuclear submarines and SSBNs, their cost is tens of thousands of times more than a tank and their value for the security of the Russian Federation is a million times greater, each SSBN costs 23 billion rubles, while they are located in all visible bases (even poorly protected ones, the transfer of all second-rank ships to the north and Kamchatka is going slowly, although it seems that they have started transferring from the Baltic to Ladoga for now, the BE200 PLO aircraft have not begun to be built) therefore, anti-drone and anti-spy protection of nuclear submarines is necessary, that is, a greenhouse-type canopy made of translucent polycarbonate, so that, firstly, the drones do not fly directly to the side of the nuclear submarine, and secondly, the enemy does not know whether the nuclear submarine is in the base and under what canopy it is currently standing, more canopies need to be made than the nuclear submarines and located in different databases.... this needs to be done now, the costs are scanty

      Well then, inflatable dummies won’t hurt either. The "nuclear submarine" stands still, and the combat mission is carried out.

        the dummy will turn out to be expensive and large in size, because by the frequency and amplitude of the pitching the enemy can calculate that this is not a boat weighing thousands of tons, but a light decoy

          You can make a bay that eliminates pitching.

            motion also happens from the wind, too, to make a bay.... this is a very difficult undertaking and VERY expensive, so the Navy and naval fleet usually use natural bays, such expensive man-made structures like SOCHI Tuapse cost a lot and are small, the impact force of the breaking waves is small the Black Sea is more than a hundred tons per square meter in a storm

    Wouldn't it be easier to redesign the tower? And then you look at these bells and whistles and remember the pumped-up Caucasian fret from the late 80s.

    You search T-90m on YouTube. And look. And what you see doesn’t really correlate with the article.
