The T-90M is the newest Russian tank used in the war against Ukraine. There is also a T-14 Armata, but it is not involved in combat operations.
According to Oryx, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have captured at least two tanks. In total, the Russian army has lost more than two dozen upgraded T-90M tanks in 16 months.
