Old Tanks, Bigger Guns: Russian Armor is Getting an Upgrade
The T-90M, which remains arguably Russia s most advanced front-line tank, is a modernized version of a vehicle that first entered service in 1993.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Clearly, the Russian military has been continuing to keep the tanks up and running with the latest advances, and based on Salyukov s latest statements the next round of upgrades could see these tanks have a bit more hitting power.
While the first batch of T-14 Aramata main battle tanks (MBTs) is set to finally be deployed to the Russian military later this year, it will be years before the nation s older armored vehicles are retired from service. For this reason, the older tanks could soon be deployed with increased firepower.
