The most modern Russian T-90M "Proryv" battle tank has entered the Ukrainian army
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have long been using captured Russian equipment. But now for the first time they have shown the most modern (of the working ones) Russian tank.
Here's What We Know
The Ukrainian Defense Forces received the T-90M "Proryv" tank. It is possible that this is the same tank that was captured in mid-September and lost its caterpillar. At least, there was no more information about the captured T-90M "Proryv".

Now the fighting vehicle has switched sides of the conflict (switched to light) and is now fighting against the Russian army in eastern Ukraine. The Russian military is not particularly eager to disclose the technical characteristics of its tank. But a Ukrainian fighter who has a YouTube channel said back in September after seeing the T-90M Breakthrough that it is a T-72B3 on steroids.
The tank has adequate dynamic protection and is equipped with a new turret in which, thanks to clever design, the free space has been increased. In addition, the T-90M Breakthrough has a barrel bend sensor and irradiation locking system.
