The T-90 is far from one of the world’s premier main battle tanks.
It remains rigid, outdated, and ill-suited to adapt to the demands of modern warfare, proving ineffective even against insurgents armed with adequate anti-tank weaponry, let alone well-equipped Western military forces.
While Russia might rely on these tanks in Ukraine as part of its strategy, the cost will be substantial, yielding minimal gains and a significant depletion of its land power capabilities.
The tank fleet, a source of Russian pride, faces a tough challenge in Ukraine, finding itself outmatched and likely emerging with reduced combat effectiveness compared to before the invasion.
The T-90 generated considerable hype before the conflict, but that was all it amounted to.
Join our military experts today as they analyze why Putin’s main battle tank is an absolute disaster.

Yea and the Challengers and Leopards are now 2 miles from Mosko without a single loss.
Impressive indeed.
2:47 is a bmp not a t-72. This video is extremely biased sounding with a lot of emotional language. Even if we don't like Russia, we should be fair to the design of the tanks, which are generally thought to be pretty good even by western planners aside from glaring shortcomings like the placement of the ammo carousel and the reverse speed. Russia is losing them in droves because it sucks at deploying them with infantry support and because the crews are badly trained.
Wait! This isn't the LazerPig channel!
6:04 the label in the video says 'operational range: 310 mph.' That's a very… fast range?
Someone's been watching a little Lazer pig
In the age of MANPADS all tanks SUCK! In the future tanks will shoot small diameter long range missiles (80mm) that have dual shaped charges in in the warhead for deep 2000mm penetration with a 100km range and targeting will be by Live Drone Tracking with Satellite Tracking for backup with digital information streams beamed back to the missile in real time for 100% target locks.
war of the future is run by drones and infantery not by tanks tanks are too expensive too easy to destroy. too expensive to maintain
You said it well. I think something no one predicted was just how effective modern anti tank weapons have become. Flooding the battlefield with armour is no longer effective like it was in world war 2, at least not when your enemy has many thousands of anti tank missiles that can 1 shot anything. In world war 2 anti tank weapons did not evolve as quickly as tanks did, but even towards the end of the war that was starting to change. And a serious lack of combined arms warfare leaves them naked. "Don't shoot me in the armour!"
Amazing how much copium and BS one can utter in 19 minutes.
16:38 why do you show a patton labeled as t54?
Thanks, Show.
The tank doesn't suck, it is not a disaster of a tank. the commanders and generals in command are using them wrong. The problem lies within Russian leadership and command. not engineering
Great 19 minute collection of memes. 😃
What else can we expect from the thoroughly corrupt Russian political system? 🤷♂
Russia can’t do high tech.
2:43 on the left it is not a T-72 but BMP-2 and later at 3:16 the video shows a T-14 Armata instead of an T-90M… At 3:34 they do not show a PKMT but an RPK….
All The T-90 is is an Upgraded Version of the T-72, Which has it's Flaws.
At 2:45 that is not a t-72. that is a Bmp 2 And at 16:39 that is an American tank and not a soviet t-54. Not trying to be that guy but those are 2 pretty big differences.
Yeah ,………why not put the M1 Abrams in Ukraine , then we shall T90s , the Armatas 14s ………. There too..!
Talk the talk , but not walk the walk,…….? Russian old Tanks doing well , why compromise the Tech unnecessary ? Nearly two years to Ukraine War ,
Hardly any Abrams in sight , ? Sacrificial Leopards galore ! Challengers bite the dust without a challenge……….
Tanks turrets being blown skywards is nothing unusual when hit and it is especially unusual for Russian tanks. Most Russian tanks don;t bolt their turrets down unlike Western tanks which is why they popoff so easily. This is done to make field recovery/maintenance easier. Having said that there are plenty of pictures of western tanks with popped turrets to make this a laughable;e criticism. On the whole I rate this video as "total rubbish" citing as it does largely popular intelligence aka myth as fact.
You spelt Kiev wrong, stopped watching.
The proposed math of greater Russian production due to cost doesn't work out. Look at Russia's GDP. Their tank would need to cost $250k or less.
Because these tanks are fake, half of it doesn't work, and their latest and greatest MBT's are no better than T72's
Anyone who thinks ukraine is winning probably took the vax and watches cnn.
Thanks to explain it again why Russia is losing as you have been doing it for almost two years. Only a small issue, Russia is not losing, lol.
western tanks are a big easy targets, hard to hide, the weight does not help, they have narrow tracks, they get stuck in the mud, and use more fuel, more supply train, the main reason Russia lost some tanks is the nature of the conflict, leopards have fared badly in Ukraine. But this out come, would have already been known. as many Turkish leopards are abandoned in Syria, suffering a similar fate to those already mentioned. Saudi Arabia sent m1 abrams tanks to Yemen, those too got destroyed by the houthi rebels, seeing a large heat signature from the turbine engines. The Russian T series tanks were designed and built to fight in the Ukrainian conflict zone even if there are short comings of these designs, no western tank would operate better in this theater, they are designed with different requirements for different zones of conflict.
So its all smoke and Mirrors ( Missing) With Russian MBTs .Whitch ends up with excellent Turret Tossing abilities. and dead Soldiers. The corruption from Putin and his Cronies is their for all to see .but they still believe in their own propergander. = Dead Soldiers on a Battle Field again.
Your T-72 is a BMP-2 @2:42
So, why is Ukraine losing the war now? It's the end, the game is over. Unfortunately for the England (I won't say Britain, there's still hope for secession from England, honorable Scotland, Northern Ireland, and even Wales – yes, this is what you supported for Yugoslavia, tearing apart people who are more tied together then you, by using post-Goebels media and psychological doctrine).
So, even if T-90 sucked at some point, Russians found the way to adapt. You don't seem to understand how the war works. If it takes more than a year or two, it's a process in which one of the sides finds the way to adapt and push the production for the relevant armament. And that's what's going on right now in Russia.
Russia has overwhelming capacities. It's just ludicrous to take on such a country if you take into account the regime which is not concerned very much about throwing people into certain death, if it has strategical depth, abounds of natural resources etc.
Pregnant women are fighting for Ukraine right now – this is not my made-up trolling, this is coming from American medias and independent i.e. retired American high ranking officers.
So, I don't wonder you have 6.5k visits. You're just sawing a seed of hope for this war and supporting wasting dozens of thousands of Ukraine's people lives which don't mean anything to you (as well as your country).
People like you should be ashamed of yourselves. You shouldn't try to monetise on what's (now clearly a failed) plot of NATO to draw Russia into a war which would devastate it's economy, marginalise it etc.
Now, you're seeing what Napoleon and Hitler found out in the end. F your English Crimean war efforts in the 19th century, you made third of the world miserable and you dare to take moral high-ground.
2:50: A BMP-2 IFV is said to be a T-72 MBT, 16:38: A US-made M-48 is said to be a T-54, A lot of mortars shown between 13:40 to 14:00 instead of anti-tank weapons. These are obvious mistakes. Many comments in the video are not much better !
Now let look at the leopard
Russia *had* the world's largest armada of Tanks…
All I hear is cope cope cope
