Popular Mechanics named the best Russian tank in Ukraine
[ad_1]
The T-90M is the best tank used in the special operation in Ukraine, according to the American magazine Popular Mechanics.
The article notes that the tanks participating in the hostilities in Ukraine are outdated compared to the T-90M. But some, such as the Polish PT-91 Twardy and the Romanian T-55S, have shown small improvements in firepower, sensors, mobility and fire control.
The publication believes that both the NATO T-72 and the Russian T-72, T-80 and T-90 have the same engineering trade-off, meaning that breaching the turret tends to throw it back some distance, with catastrophic consequences for the crew.
The article also states that tanks such as the M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2 and T-90M would be more effective in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry previously asked the EU, NATO and the G7 countries for tanks, air defense systems and long-range artillery.
