A $500 kamikaze drone has destroyed a rare Russian T-90A tank worth at least $2.5 million
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have destroyed two Russian tanks. One of them was a relatively rare T-90A.
Here's What We Know
The T-90A is not very common at the front, as well as the modernised version of the T-90M. It is a serial modification of the T-90 Vladimir. Production was established in 2004 and lasted until 2011.
The tank is equipped with a B-92C2 engine with a capacity of 1000 horsepower and a 2A46M-5 cannon. The combat vehicle has reinforced armouring of the frontal part of the hull, thermal imaging equipment and night vision sight, the model of which differs depending on the year of production.

The T-90 series tanks cost between $2.5 million and $4.5 million. According to Oryx analysts, the Russian army has lost 34 tanks in a year and a half, 10 of which were captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In conclusion, we would like to add that the video shows a destroyed tank of the T-72B family along with the T-90A. The version has not been established.
