Drone operators of the 116th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully neutralized an enemy T-90S tank near Marinka in the Donetsk region.
When a grenade dropped by a drone exploded, a powerful fire broke out in the combat compartment of the tank, resulting in the complete destruction of the enemy military vehicle.
The T-90S is an upgraded version of the T-90 main battle tank that entered service in 2017. This tank has quite a few configuration differences compared to the base version.
According to Rosoboronexport, Russia’s state arms export agency, it offers better firepower, mobility and protection tailored to the export market.
It should be noted that the tank was modified based on the experience of the previous year’s war in Ukraine. The T-90S has cage-like armor to protect against drones and additional Kontakt-1 Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) pods.
The T-90S was originally intended for export, but due to a critical shortage of combat vehicles in front-line units, it was reoriented for domestic use.
