Russian reinforcements: T‑90M tanks sent to Ukraine's frontlines

A train full of tanks is heading towards Ukraine. However, they will not be used by Ukrainians but by Russians. According to the Militarny portal, Russia's army has recently been reinforced with another delivery of T-90M Proryv vehicles. The portal cites a statement from the Uralvagonzavod corporation, which is responsible for manufacturing these tanks. The company announced an increase in production.

Much of the information provided by Russian media or government representatives is propaganda. Such reports are part of the information warfare conducted by the Russian Federation.

The Russians regularly support their army with additional deliveries of valuable military equipment. Recently, their defence industry reported sending two Su-34 aircraft to the front as a response to the recent appearance of F-16 fighters in Ukraine.

The Russian Federation is also strengthening its ground forces, often reporting large shipments of tanks or armoured vehicles heading towards Ukraine. Uralvagonzavod now reports that the Russian army has just received a new batch of T-90M Proryv tanks. The corporation notes that the machines have been equipped with electronic warfare systems against drones—a weapon that has been one of the most troublesome for both sides of the conflict in recent months.

Unfortunately, the exact number of machines that the Russians have prepared for battle is not known. However, the film shows that there are at least seven T-90M Proryv tanks on the train. It can be assumed that in reality there are more, especially considering historical deliveries, in which even 23 units were sent in a single transport.

The T-90M Proryv is one of the newest and most technologically advanced tanks in the Russian army's arsenal. This tank, which is the pride of the Russian defence industry, elicits both admiration and controversy. On the one hand, it has impressive combat capabilities, but on the battlefield, it often falls short of expectations.

The T-90M is equipped with a 2A46M-5 125 mm cannon and a Kalina fire control system. Additional armament includes 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns, enhancing its offensive capabilities. The tank is protected by Relikt reactive armour, which aims to protect the crew from attacks using drones and missiles directed at the tank. The maximum speed of Russia's "Putin's pride" is about 64-69 km/h, allowing for quick movement on the battlefield.
