Why Putin's Most Advanced Main Battle Tank Is A Complete Disaster



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It remains rigid, outdated, and ill-suited to adapt to the demands of modern warfare, proving ineffective even against insurgents armed with adequate anti-tank weaponry, let alone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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!"

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.
