The T-90S tank is a very interesting target because it is intended for export. The cost is about $2.5 million. One cannot call the fighting vehicle rare, as more than 1,500 units have been produced in total. However, there is no information on how many tanks the Russian army has received.
Serial production of the T-90 began in 1992. Within a year, 13 tanks were produced. The T-90S did not appear until 2001, after production was halted in 1998 due to a lack of funding amid a general decline in Russian government investment in the country's armed forces. In early winter 2001, Russia signed an export contract with India and delivered more than 120 tanks over two years.
