An American military expert named the main, in his opinion, the lack of the Russian T-90 tank.
Brent Eastwood, a regular author of 19FortyFive and a former US Army officer, spoke in his article about the main, in his opinion, lack of the Russian T-90 tank. According to Eastwood, this is weak armor and, as a result, low resistance to fire of modern anti-tank missiles. Eastwood considers the turret of the tank to be the weakest point of the T-90.
The expert also says that, despite all Russia's statements about the invulnerability of the T-90, in Syria at least 5 tanks were ambushed. And with the help of the outdated TOW-2A ATGM. According to Eastwood, if obsolete weapons can cope with the protection of the T-90, this will not be difficult for the current American Javelin ATGMs. “Russia has a problem with its T-90 tanks, and this is a threat from anti-tank missiles, especially the Javelin. If the old TOWs can pierce armor, you know Javelin can too. So this fight comes down to the competence and skill of the T-90 crews and Javelin personnel, ”Eastwood emphasizes.
Note that against the background of the statement of the American expert, Russian T-90s are equipped with combined armor, supplemented by dynamic protection “Contact-5”, which reduces the risk of being hit by armor-piercing shells. Also, the tank has a complex of optical-electronic countermeasures (KOEP) “Shtora-1”, which is able to fix the guidance of an enemy missile and automatically expose a smoke screen to camouflage the tank.
